Ramla offers the perfect opportunity for someone looking to make a huge impact in Israel. Ramla is a low-income area where only 47% of high school students graduate with a Bagrut matriculation certificate (a certificate that is required to continue to higher education). Ramla is home to a richly diverse population of Jewish- and Arab-Israelis, and 24% of its residents comprise immigrant communities from the Former Soviet Union and Ethiopia. Ramla is located conveniently between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and is a brief bus or train ride from either city. Ramla is a beautiful blend of ancient and modern Israel, featuring historical landmarks such as the White Tower and the Pool of Arches. Streets are fragrant with captivating smells of exotic foods from the shuk (outdoor market) and abuzz with the sounds of conversations held in multiple languages.

In the Classroom

Students in Ramle are generally from underprivileged communities where most of them never encounter English in their day-to-day lives. For many children in the community, having a real relationship with a young adult from abroad is a dream come true. Few students from the area have had the opportunity to travel abroad or interact with native English speakers. Throughout the school year, you’ll become a teacher, mentor and role model for Ramle’s children.

Fellows work with students in grades 1 through 8, depending on which school you’re placed in. There are up to 30 students in each classroom, but most of the time you will work with smaller groups of 3-5 students.

Where You’ll Live

Fellows live in Ramle, sharing their home with a small group of other Fellows on the same program.  Each home is equipped with a kitchen (refrigerator, microwave, oven, stove, toaster and electric kettle). Bedrooms are shared.

About the Provider

Masa Israel Teaching Fellows in Ramle is organized by Israel Experience. The Israel Experience is a subsidiary and the educational arm of the Jewish Agency for Israel. The Israel Experience has committed to provide you with innovative and quality programming, and we work hard to make sure our programs are current, creative, meaningful and memorable.
