Students at NFTY-EIE High School in Israel take Advanced college level Jewish History (Israel; Land, Cultures and People) and Hebrew Ulpan courses. Additionally, students maintain their general studies college preparatory curriculum. Regular, Honors and Advanced Placement courses are offered in every discipline. Students may pursue music lessons as an independent tutorial under the guidance of the Assistant Principal.

Israel; Land, Cultures and People
Throughout the semester, the goal is to thoroughly acquaint the students with the history of the Jewish people, its culture, and its land. Israel as the birthplace and the center of that history throughout the ages is the ideal place to teach and demonstrate the development of the people, culture, and land. By combining classroom and field study, students witness in a "hands on" manner the flow of Jewish history. The method employed for this course is an interdisciplinary core curriculum in which students study history during 70 class days, 25 of which are spent at sites which reflect the period of history under investigation. All classes and field trips are based on the reading of primary source material from the appropriate period and group discussions. Students are expected to take notes during hikes and are examined on the presented material. A core curriculum teacher is appointed to guide students through all of Jewish history. Classes are small, never exceeding 15 students, thus allowing for the maximum participation of all students. The content of the class draws upon the following disciplines: Archeology, World Literature, Comparative Literature, English Composition, History, Sociology, Geography, Comparative Religion, Western Civilization, Political Science and Physical Education. As Israel: Land, Cultures and People covers many disciplines a student's transcript may reflect the grades and credits earned in these subjects under either a reciprocal or specific course heading.

Hebrew Ulpan
The study of Hebrew is a crucial tool in understanding both ancient and modern Israeli History and culture. Students study Biblical phrases in their original Hebrew as well as learn to converse with their Israeli peers. Students are tested and placed in Hebrew classes based on their prior level of Hebrew knowledge. Students need not have previous knowledge of Hebrew. Students are encouraged to utilize their Hebrew skills as they meet Israelis and travel throughout Israel. Up to five different levels of Hebrew language instruction are offered. A formal textbook including workbooks and readers are used in the Beginner and Intermediate levels. The advanced level(s) employ various resources such as Hebrew newspapers. An anthology of contemporary Hebrew literature containing songs, poetry and short stories is integrated into the course instruction. Emphasis is placed on the acquisition of language skills that will facilitate students' ability to communicate within contemporary Israeli society. Taped radio broadcasts and television programs with supplementary printed materials specifically designed for the teaching of oral and reading comprehension development are employed. Hebrew Instruction is 170 hours per semester. It is comprised of 100 classroom hours.
