Students complete grades 10, 11 and 12 in one of the program's affiliated boarding schools or regional high schools throughout Israel. Our unique, fully-subsidized program helps students integrate into the Israeli school system, and is bolstered by a strong support network, including both educational and social integrations teams, that is comprised of Jewish Agency professionals, Na'ale staff, and school administrators who continually interface with the students and their parents. In addition, each student is paired with a host family who provides hospitality during Sabbath and school holidays, and a warm and caring environment.
