After four years at the Academy, 学生有能力分析各种复杂的希伯来文和亚拉姆文的犹太文本. 我们是全国首批试点NETA希伯来语项目的学校之一, an innovative Hebrew language and culture curriculum. 荣誉希伯来语课程在希伯来大学享有盛誉的耶路撒冷考试中达到高潮, which entitles students to college credit.

在正式被学院录取之前,对未来的学生进行评估测试. 最初的安排主要是根据评估测试结果以及学生以前学校的老师和管理人员的推荐.

Ivrit课程由一个预备级别和五个连续级别组成. Generally, students progress at a rate of one level each year. 一些学生从2级开始,并在他们四年的伊夫瑞特学习过程中进入最复杂的水平.

Some students begin at Level 2 and pursue an accelerated program that allows them to advance to the most sophisticated level in the course of their four years of Hebrew language study.

学生在展示与该级别相称的技能后,有机会进入更高级别. 学生必须完成四年的希伯来语学习.
