The School-to-School Partnerships Project (S2S) pairs schools in Israel and North America to nurture real-time partnerships and shared projects between the two communities. The result is a strengthened Jewish identity and sense of belonging to the Jewish people.
The program aims to create meaningful connections between administrators, teachers, parents, and students of the partnered schools. Many programs include building professional relationships between the teachers, a joint curriculum, and facilitated encounters during reciprocal visits (a trip to Israel and return trip to the US). Particularly powerful are opportunities to learn new models of Jewish expression through home hospitality and sustained contact.
