University School
The University School Program is an initiative led by ORT Israel’s CEO, Zvi Peleg. It follows the success of various academic programs conducted by the Department of Systemic Programs and Professional Development within the ORT Network’s Administration for R&D and Training. As part of this program, each school pupil is provided with an academic perspective and introduced to academic studies and the academic spirit. This is done through a unique track tailored to their abilities and interests, with the goal of offering them an academic outlook and equipping them with academic learning skills. This, in turn, improves their chances of successfully pursuing higher education in the future.
ORT Academy
A challenging and prestigious program for the promotion of excellence is designed to enable gifted, outstanding, and talented pupils to reach their full potential through academic studies at the university and simultaneous studies at school. As part of the program, pupils are gradually introduced to the various faculties of the academy starting in the seventh grade and can earn academic credits. Some pupils even earn half of the credits by the end of their last year in school. They later postpone their military service and finish their studies for a bachelor’s degree before joining the army. The program operates in 23 schools in collaboration with six academic institutes. These schools serve as academic trailblazers in their geographic areas.
MOOCAdemia
The MOOC revolution is swiftly transforming the realm of education. Prominent universities from around the globe are now sharing their finest courses across a wide array of disciplines, all taught by highly esteemed professors, and all for free. This revolution presents a wealth of academic learning opportunities that were once out of reach, spanning diverse fields and available anytime, anywhere. It is a program designed to foster academic prowess and instill a sense of academic confidence. This initiative will encompass a comprehensive training process, including the development of innovative pedagogical approaches to support and guide students engaging in online academic courses.
