Why USY High?

When you go to Israel on USY High, not only will you be with USYers from all over North America, but you will get to know the Jewish homeland in an exciting and unique way. Israel's history will come alive as you learn both in the classroom and by using the land of Israel as a live "text book" on hikes and tours.

This is no ordinary educational experience. For eight weeks you will live at the Goldstein Youth Village in Jerusalem. In the campus classroom, you will be introduced chronologically to each historical period. Campus class time will be interspersed with time experiencing our "classroom without walls", the Land of Israel. You will learn in an ancient cave, a mountain fortress, an army bunker, riding on a camel or even at the beach!

Generally, you will also receive full high school credit for Social Studies and English from the Israel Core Course, from individualized or small group tutorials, and from instruction in up to three sequential courses (regular, advanced or AP mathematics, science or foreign language) as required by your home school. You may also be eligible to earn up to six credits for college. An education specialist will work with you and your school to ensure a total credit exchange.

With USY High, you have the opportunity to experience Israel the USY way, with Shabbatonim filled with ruach, daily tefillot (services), activities with students participating in other teen Ramah programs on campus and with NOAM, the Masorti (Conservative) youth movement in Israel. You will see things that stir your emotions and feel things that touch your heart. USY High will strengthen your personal kesher (connection) with Israel and with Judaism.

Students in 10th and 11th grades who wish to participate in a 16-week fully accredited high school program can apply to Tichon Ramah Yerushalayim, held from February until June.
