The Chais-Israel Academy is a collaborative program between the Israeli sci-tech schools network, the Chais Family Foundation and leading universities in Israel. By combining high school studies with academic studies at the university level, the network offers its outstanding and gifted students the opportunity to develop their talents to the fullest.
The program is partially funded by the students’ parents and the network and some students receive guidance and extra tuition (both at the school and the university) to ensure their success.
By realizing their potential, students contribute to the IDF, the economy, industry, Israeli society, and to themselves and their families.
The program includes enrichment activities in science, technology and math, exposure to the various university faculties, a course on university preparedness (pre-academic preparation) and an accumulation of academic credits for future university studies.
The Chais-Israel Academy students complete their matriculation certificate in the 11th grade with the goal of receiving a B.Sc. from an undergraduate scientific-based university by their 13th and 14th year.
Collaborating institutions include the Technion Institute of Technology in Haifa, Tel Aviv University, The Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Ben-Gurion University in the Negev and Braude College of Engineering.
