Tikvah Fund launches online academy for middle, high school, gap-year students

Learn from a faculty of award-winning novelists, preeminent college professors and leading rabbis.

Calling all lovers of big questions and great ideas: Study with the Tikvah Fund at Tikvah Online Academy this fall! Tikvah Online Academy offers unparalleled opportunities for students in grades seven to 12, and Israel gap-year students to delve deep into great texts and ideas of Jewish, Zionist and Western civilization.

Discover topics you won’t find anywhere else, like the relationship and tensions between Jewish and Greek philosophy, the wonders of Yiddish literature, the speeches that shaped the State of Israel, the theology of Abraham Lincoln, how Jews should think about modern technology, Israeli military strategy, and much more. Learn from a faculty of award-winning novelists, preeminent college professors and leading rabbis. Explore ideas with intellectually curious young Jews from across the world.

Classes meet once a week from mid-October through November live over Zoom, and all seminars are scheduled so they will not interfere with the school day. As a very strange school year begins, Tikvah Online Academy aims to ensure that exceptional Jewish students continue to receive a high-quality education that equips them as committed Jews, passionate Zionists, and engaged citizens.

Applications for middle and high school students are due Sept. 14. Learn more and apply here.
