#semester #teen #reform #high-school #pluralistic #coed #hod-hasharon

A pluralistic, fully-accredited study-abroad program for high schoolers combining general studies with experiential Israel-studies curriculum (learning history on-site at the actual locations). Offered as a semester, a shorter 'Mini-Mester', or summer sessions; students can earn college credit through the University of Miami. IMPORTANT NOTE: the Reform movement's own standalone semester program, URJ Heller High (formerly NFTY-EIE, previously based at Kibbutz Tzuba), recently merged into AMHSI as of a recent year due to declining enrollment -- Heller High students now live and take Jewish studies together as a track within the AMHSI campus near Tel Aviv rather than as a separate program. Confirm current Heller-track availability/dates directly with AMHSI since this transition is recent.

Who it's for

Good for high-schoolers of any denomination who want to keep up their general studies while learning Jewish history experientially on-site; the pluralistic setting fits families who don't want a religiously-tracked program.
