New school to help immigrant teens with matriculation
Haaretz
Come September, Modi'in, Beit Shemesh and Ra'anana will each receive a new learning center dedicated to helping Anglo immigrant teenagers prepare for the high school bagrut (matriculation) final exam. The three centers will belong to a newly launched school which will be Israel's first Anglo bagrut school.
The Ben Aharon-Cutler School will offer evening and afternoon courses during the winter and spring semesters as a supplement to the materials students learn in the Israeli education system, Orna Ben Aharon, who will serve as the school's dean, told Anglo File yesterday.
"As recent Education Ministry surveys show, many Anglo teenagers end up dropping out of the Israeli school system altogether, and that's what we're here to prevent," says Ben Aharon, an Israeli teacher who lived in Toronto for many years before returning two years ago with her two Canadian-born children.
The school is part of Lamdeni, a private initiative was launched six years ago which aims to assist North American immigrants cope with the Israeli education system. Lamdeni offers programs that assist both parents and their children.
