Creating Opportunities For Personal Development What attracts young people from all parts of Israel to a small college at the country's northern border?
"I chose Tel Hai because of the high academic level, the small scale and personal attention, plus the natural beauty of the surroundings. I hope one day to return and teach at the School of Biotechnology."
"I wanted to feel like I could make a difference, especially in this part of the country. Working with senior citizens from Kiryat Shmona, I realize I have as much to learn from them as they do from me."
"No other school was so willing to help me overcome my learning disabilities - Tel Hai has enabled me to achieve things I never dreamed of."
"At Tel Hai I know my teachers and they know me. The learning experience at Tel Hai is so much more meaningful because of that."
A high number of Tel Hai graduates are accepted for advanced degree studies in Israel's top research universities.
A Place for Every Student The mandate of Tel Hai College is to meet the educational needs of as broad a population as possible. Yet our involvement goes much further - we aim to provide assistance and support to enable every student to realize his or her inherent potential. Tel Hai's Support Center for Students with Learning Disabilities is a national model for teaching students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. With remarkable success rates, the Center teaches learning disabled students the skills and strategies needed to succeed in a rigorous academic setting. According to the testimony of many Tel Hai graduates, this unique program effectively changed their lives. 15% of all Tel Hai students have learning disabilities. Tel Hai grants over 750 scholarships each year, out of the conviction that economic hardship should not prevent motivated students from receiving a quality education. Most scholarships are linked to community service, mainly student mentoring - either in the College or in the region's schools. Senior citizens are encouraged to enroll or simply audit courses at the College. Programs for individuals who did not complete matriculation exams provide a framework for continuing education and professional training. Special programs are also available for Military Personnel serving in the region. Tel Hai is a living model of coexistence, where faculty and students from the region's Jewish, Arab, Druze and Circassian communities study and interact in an atmosphere of pluralism and tolerance. Tel Hai is an apolitical college with an institutional culture of tolerance and pluralism.
