Q&A
The Schwartz/Reisman Centers for Science Education serve as regional hubs for exact science studies, focusing on physics and chemistry for high school students in grades 10, 11, and 12.
Studies are conducted at the campus nearest to the student’s residence. Students commute to the regional center via shuttles provided by their schools.
These studies are part of the mandatory curriculum and are provided free of charge to students.
Classes are integrated into the regular school schedule and occur during standard school hours. Additionally, students may participate in occasional enrichment workshops and activities in the afternoon, which are optional.
Admission is based on curiosity, interest, commitment, and a minimum math proficiency of 4 credits. The Schwartz Reisman Science Education Centers do not select students based on academic performance.
The program credits students with 5 units according to the Ministry of Education’s curriculum. Additionally, students can opt for an advanced Physics Research program, which provides an extra 5 credits.
The teaching staff consists of individuals with advanced degrees in relevant fields, vocational training in high-tech industries, or extensive experience gained from military service in relevant fields. They undergo rigorous training to ensure high-quality instruction.
