Lily Jacobson, from Bethesda, Studying Abroad in Israel

Alexander Muss High School in Israel (AMHSI) is a place of exploration and discovery.

Since 1972 – 24,000 alumni later – AMHSI has been pioneering the academic and experiential study of Israel and Jewish history at the high school level. Students are inspired to live outside their books, encounter new ideas and challenge themselves to find their own link within the chain of Jewish
continuity.

This is exactly the kind of experience Lily Jacobson, a student at Walt Whitman High School, is doing this Fall Semester, studying at the Alexander Muss High School in Israel! Besides living and studying in Israel, Lily is receiving her high school credits and even some college units to better prepare her for college.

The AMHSI model highlights the benefits of a long-term Israel program. Our Hod HaSharon campus allows for an immersive experience through informal encounters with Israelis, exposing students to the local culture, language, and environment, as well as providing them with a place to call home. Students also enjoy independence within a structured system, developing learning and leadership skills while forming friendships and making memories that last a lifetime.
