Alpha is a program for gifted and outstanding students in secondary education (9th grade graduates) that allows its participants to integrate into the world of contemporary scientific research. The program was formulated with the aim of providing the unique needs of gifted and outstanding students while enriching their world of scientific knowledge, exposing them to high-level scientific research and imparting the skills required to formulate independent scientific research and research work at an academic level. The concept underpinning the program is to offer a meaningful intellectual experience, combined with social activity (including emotional support) between students from all over Israel, to enable them to develop simultaneously in both these directions.
As part of the program, the students write a research paper at an academic level that is equivalent to a matriculation exam in one of the advanced scientific subjects (5 study units), or which constitutes an independent advanced subject in the matriculation certificate. Participation in the program is fully subsidized and free of charge.
