7th–8th Grade Tikvah Online Academy Fall 2024 Courses

Tikvah Online Academy offers high-level seminars—with small classes, master teachers, and spirited discussions—for students interested in Jewish ideas, Zionism and modern Israel, American democracy, and Western civilization.

✔ Classes are typically 10-15 students.

✔ Each class meets for five sessions, live on Zoom.

✔ Program dates: November 3-December 12

✔ Courses are open to all students regardless of their educational backgrounds. The application process is simple but selective.

✔ All applicants who are new to Tikvah will be asked to fill out a short application and schedule a Zoom interview. Tikvah alumni will be invited to complete the same short application, but will have an accelerated admissions process without an interview. Acceptances will be sent out within one week.

✔ Tuition is $200 per course.

If you have any questions about the courses, please email Irina Rakhlis at irakhlis@tikvahfund.org.
