Naale students complete the Israeli matriculation (Bagrut) exams and earn an internationally-recognized diploma.
Students in Israel study math on one of three levels.
Three points math is considered basic high school mathematics, and is the level of most Israeli students.
Four points, or intermediate math, teaches college or AP-level mathematics.
Five points math is the most advanced, and is equivalent to university level mathematics.
Students who are highly motivated and have a strong aptitude for math generally attempt four or five points of math. They should be prepared to dedicate significant time and effort both in and beyond the classroom to the subject.
All Naale students complete the Israeli matriculation, or Bagrut exams to earn their internationally-recognized diploma. Typically, Israeli students do not take the SATs or ACTs, and instead take the Israeli Psychometric Exam after graduating.
Naale students who wish to take the SAT or ACT exams may do so during school vacations.
The balance of Hebrew and English instruction varies among schools. Acquiring Hebrew is a goal at Naale, and each school and teacher strives to help students learn the language gradually.
Generally, during the first semester, teachers use basic Hebrew and may explain course material in English. Afterward, most classes are taught in basic Hebrew. By the end of their first year, most students have acquired a strong foundation in reading, writing, and conversational Hebrew.
After the first year, instruction and testing typically take place in Hebrew.
Naale students hail from 65 different countries. Each school has its own policy regarding inter-school activities. Student seminars and trips take place during Pesach, Sukkot, and Chanukah, and an annual “Yom Naale,” or Naale Day brings together all Naale students.
According to Israeli law, students who meet the following criteria are required to draft into the army upon completing the 12th grade:
Students who have at least one Israeli parent.
Students who have spent at least two years of high school in Israel, provided they are Israeli citizens. Students who are not Israeli citizens are not required to serve in the IDF upon graduation.
Students who will be enlisting in the IDF meet with their Naale coordinator and the alumni department in 12th grade to discuss their options. The “tzav rishon” or initial draft notice, is generally attended as a group by Naale students for whom it is relevant.
Naale works with both religious and secular schools. The secular schools are co-ed and the religious schools are separate for boys and girls.
