israel Gap year programs
eli program
The Exploration, Leadership and Innovation (ELI) Gap Year Program is a unique Israel-based experience for recent high school graduates, delivered in partnership with Tel Aviv University and Tzofim Olami. Combining academic study, leadership development, entrepreneurship, volunteering, and cultural experiences, ELI prepares participants for university while immersing them in Israeli society. Full-year and semester options are available, with all courses taught in English.

Shnat Sherut is a unique year of voluntary community service in Israel for Hebrew-speaking high school graduates. Participants live and volunteer in communities across Israel while developing leadership skills, gaining valuable life experience, and contributing to meaningful educational and social initiatives through a range of specialised service tracks.
