Programs
Alpha is an innovative program for gifted students in high school (9th grade graduates) which facilitates their participation in the world of contemporary scientific research. The program was designed with the aim to provide for the specialized needs of gifted students, by enriching their scientific knowledge, exposing them to scientific research at a high level, and providing them with the skills required to formulate their own independent scientific research and implement it at a level consistent with academic standards.
The Odyssey Program was inspired and initiated by the late President of the State of Israel, Mr. Shimon Peres. The program was developed to nurture a unique scientific-technological group – a new generation of inventors and scientists in Israel who possess both the ability to lead and a sense of social responsibility.
The program includes academic studies in the sciences, alongside work in research laboratories. The participants acquire knowledge, skills and experience coping with complex problems, while accumulating academic credits. The program is implemented in parallel with formal studies and during vacations, and involves participation intensive coursework each week.
The Idea program commenced this year at Tel Aviv Youth University. Idea is a unique, innovative research program in the humanities and social sciences, for gifted students of high school age, which allows its participants to integrate into the forefront of academic research in these areas.
The program was formulated with the aim to meet the unique needs of gifted students, by enriching their knowledge in the humanities and social sciences, exposing them to high level academic research in these areas, and providing them with the requisite skills to independently formulate and carry out research at an academic level.

The Israel Science Team
The Israel Science Teams in Chemistry, Informatics, Mathematics, and Physics, and the Israel Young Science Team
International Olympiads in the sciences are competitions on an international academic level, in which junior high and high school students from all over the world participate. In the framework of the Israel science teams, gifted and talented students with the strongest abilities and achievements in the sciences in general, and in specific scientific fields (chemistry, physics, informatics and mathematics), are recruited. The students undergo preparation in a long, intensive process, led by the top academics in each of the fields.
The Ministry of Education and the Future Scientists Center run the training programs for participation in the various Olympiads, in partnership with the leading universities in Israel.
