The North is in our 💙

This week, the Israel Sci-Tech Schools Network together with northern frontline communities launched the “ Bagrtut (Matriculation Exams) bootcamp” project — a large-scale initiative providing academic and emotional support to students ahead of their final exams.

Hundreds of 10th–12th grade students from Shlomi, Nahariya, and Ma’alot are now participating in intensive, in-person study sessions at locations across the country.

Good luck to our students! We know you'll nail it!
