Mission: Alexander muss institute for israel education's mission is to promote, build and strengthen lifelong bonds between youth and israel through study of the history and culture of the people of israel.
Programs: Educational institutions and related activities: since 1972, amhsi has been pioneering the academic and experience-based study of israel and jewish history at the high school and 8th grade level. All students study the core curriculum, an intensive review of israel and 4,000 years of jewish history, which provides students with the context and framework to discover their identity. The unique pedagogical approach of amhsi fuses traditional classroom study and informal experiential learning, as students not only gain knowledge but also have the opportunity to explore israel as a living classroom. A total of 918 students attended; 821 were involved with the basic program or a variation and 97 were 8th graders.
