School Information

The Alexander Muss Institute for Israel Education (AMIIE) and The Alexander Muss High School in Israel (AMHSI) are dedicated to engaging teens to discover, explore and embrace their connection to the history, culture and land of Israel. AMHSI offers year-round, fully-accredited, seven-to-eight-week, fun and intensive study abroad programs for high school juniors and seniors, using an interdisciplinary curriculum which strives to provide youth with a strong sense of Jewish identity. Students can get an edge on their college applications and follow in the footsteps of more than 18,000 AMHSI alumni, discovering Israel through an inspiring, life changing experience that is non-denominational and pluralistic.

Curriculum

LEARN in a classroom without walls. LIVE 4,000 years of history. LOVE an adventure unlike any other. Grow in ways you could not have imagined. Build life long friendships. At AMHSI students plunge into a chronological study of Jewish history, beginning with the Biblical period and ending with the modern Middle East. AMHSI offers the unique opportunity for students to take their 'sequential' high school classes in addition to the core program, so that they don't fall behind regular school work. AMHSI is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and participants may receive full high school credit and six college credits.

Setting

Students can enjoy a college atmosphere in co-ed dorms at their 'home away from home' at the beautiful school campus in Hod Hasharon, a city just north of Tel Aviv. There are six sessions annually, four operating during the school year and two during the summer. There are also optional trip add-ons, such as Prague and Poland Holocaust study tours.
