About Program
Since 1972 Alexander Muss High School in Israel has provided a unique study abroad program for high school students where the land of Israel becomes a living classroom. AMHSI-JNF welcomes students from the United States and across the globe to study over 4,000 years of Jewish and Israeli history. Each year we welcome hundreds of new students to our Hod HaSharon campus. Our 26,000 alumni are leaders in their communities.
Our unique pedagogical approach fuses formal classroom study and experience-based learning, enhancing students’ intellectual understanding of history and emotional connection to identity. AMHSI provides students with the context and framework to form their own sense of Jewish peoplehood in preparation for college and life beyond.
The AMHSI model highlights the benefits of a long-term Israel program. Our Hod HaSharon campus allows for an immersive experience through informal encounters with Israelis, exposing students to the local culture, language, and environment, as well as providing them with a place to call home. Students also enjoy independence within a structured system, developing learning and leadership skills while forming friendships and making memories that last a lifetime.
