The project is originally based on World ORT’s prestigious education program, which operated in the city of Anières in Switzerland for 50 years, in which hundreds of students were educated and grew to spearhead science, industry, education, and technology throughout the world.
Anières Elite Academy was founded by World ORT Kadima Mada in Israel, with the goal of training Israel’s future leaders in the fields of science and technology, the high-tech industry, academia and public leadership – in order to address the existing shortage of engineers in Israel.
Anières Elite Academy enables today’s young people to become tomorrow’s success stories, through a prestigious course of studies that begins with high-quality high school studies in the technological matriculation track at the WIZO Nahalal Youth Village, through academic degrees at the Technion. Candidates undergo a rigorous screening process, in which the most suitable youth are selected.
