• Extended Israel Exchange Program (EIEP)

  The EIEP is a uniquely powerful year-long program that joins American and Israeli students in an experience that is not limited to boarding houses, hostels or dorms. It combines rigorous academics with uncommon independence and responsibility. We create a school within a school so that participants cover all their dTHS curriculum during their time in Israel. Tenth grade participants from de Toledo host Israeli peers from Ramat Gan for a month in the fall, and in turn live with their Israeli counterparts and their families for two and a half months in Israel in the spring.
  
  Our students experience life with Israeli teenagers, in America and in Israel, inside and outside of school. In between their respective visits, the students remain engaged in a collaborative project across the seas. The outcome of the year is a profound acquaintance with Israel beyond the standard tourism, long lasting personal bonds, and the kind of empowerment and personal growth that are not attainable in the standard setting of school and home.

• MIFGASH: The Global Jewish Classroom

  de Toledo has initiated a global network of Jewish high schools to create global classrooms and other collaborative projects between Jewish students throughout the world. The first of these global classrooms was launched in 2018-2019 following a conference of senior Jewish educators from around the world, hosted by de Toledo. Additional collaborative projects in the Arts, Music, Literature, and Robotics started in 2020-2021. 

   

   

  Over the next few years, we aim to expand the network to include Jewish schools from Russia, France, Australia, and possibly Spain, Italy, and additional schools in Israel.

• Spirulina Project

  This is a Tikkun Olam Science Academy project in the 9th-12th grades. The students learn the bio-technology of growing the superfood Spirulina and then join with Israeli peers to teach the process to Africans in Uganda.
