High School Diploma

The Gmax Jerusalem program offers a high school curriculum similar to those offered in American yeshiva high schools (see Daily Schedule). Most classes are offered on both a standard high school level and a separate advanced level.

All Gmax Jerusalem students take the GED in April or May. The GED is a test offered by Education Direct and the Center for Degree Studies. These institutes are licensed by the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed Schools. The GED is accredited by the U.S. Department of Education as a nationally recognized high school equivalency exam.

Students who pass this test are adequately accredited for higher education by the Israeli Board of Education. The Gmax Jerusalem program will prepare its students for the GED Exam to be taken in April or May. Preparations for this exam will take place primarily during the second semester.

Psychometric Exam

The Psychometric Exam is the official Israeli college and university entrance exam. This exam, along with a full high School diploma, allows the student to apply to any Institute for higher education. The Gmax Jerusalem program prepares its students for the English version of the Psychometric Exam offered in July.

Hebrew Placement Test

The Hebrew Placement Test is an exam given by the universities to any student who did not pass/attend high school in Hebrew. The Gmax Jerusalem program will prepare its students for the Hebrew Placement Test to be taken prior to their entrance, assuring their complete absorption into Israel and its most recognized Colleges and Universities.
