Educating for Excellence's Holistic Educational Model

Nearly 150,000 children from underprivileged backgrounds across Israel demonstrate potential for excellence. Economic hardship, lack of exposure to quality education, and lack of academic support from family hinder these gifted children, leading to low self-esteem, self-efficacy, and educational tracking. Israel suffers from the widest educational gaps in western society, due to insufficient access to educational resources in underprivileged peripheral regions, deepening socioeconomic disparity.

E4E’s response is exemplified by our 46 Excellence Centers nationwide, where students engage in educational and enriching activities 4 days a week, 4 hours each day all year round. Here they learn core subjects, enrichment, and empowerment, taught by either university student or corporate volunteers who serve as instructors and academic role models. These Centers enable E4E to be agile and provide responses to the changing needs of individual students, cohorts, and modern society as a whole.

Successfully implemented educational model at 46 Excellence Centers across Israel serving 3,000 Jewish and Arab students. The organization is in a strategic expansion process to increase this to 10,000 students in 6 years.
