Activity
For 35 years, IASA has been Israel’s premier boarding school for gifted students. Offering a unique 24/7 residential experience, IASA provides a nurturing environment where talented students from across the country can thrive. Our holistic approach combines academic excellence with personalized support for students’ social, emotional, and mental development. Our dedicated team of top Israeli teachers fosters a love of learning and curiosity, empowering students to explore their passions and reach their full potential. At Iasa, gifted students connect with like-minded peers, creating a vibrant community that celebrates intellectual curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. This year, IASA is thrilled to welcome 154 middle school students and 260 high school students, including 99 new 10th graders, from 140 different towns nationwide. IASA’s aim is to broaden the scholarship program’s reach, offering IASA’s exceptional educational opportunities to a larger number of students from the periphery. The program guarantees that financial constraints do not impede gifted students from accessing high-quality education and achieving their full potential. The underlying principle of the project is to cultivate a diverse leadership pipeline by empowering talented students from all backgrounds to excel academically and socially.
