Summer Semester

The NFTY-EIE High School in Israel is now offering a summer semester which, despite its relatively short duration, maintains the integrity, spirit and high academic standards of the full semester program and focuses exclusively on Jewish History, Hebrew and Jewish skills, without the need for added general studies courses from the students’ home schools.

The NFTY-EIE summer semester in Israel is a meaningful and challenging six week program designed especially for highly motivated teens looking for deeper insight into Israel, Jewish Identity and themselves.
