PLEASE NOTE: Program prices are fixed in US Dollars ($).
The price of Aardvark Israel includes program tuition, housing, medical insurance, fees for all academic course, field trips, seminars, local transportation, and more. Each special interest program price includes the cost of all instruction, extra-curricular activities, workshops, and seminars. The Am Yisrael World Adventure program prices include round trip airfare from Israel to the foreign destination and all program costs associated with each trip, including meals during foreign travel.
Please note: The cost of meals is not included in the price of the program. Aardvark Israel staff will work with the students in each apartment to develop a system whereby everyone contributes evenly to the purchase of groceries and preparing meals together so as to most efficiently and cost effectively live together. Families should plan on their child spending approximately $1500 on grocery costs over the course of the year or $750 per semester. In our experience, students and their families are most satisfied by having this type of control over their dietary needs and when not required to eat in a communal dining room.
Please also note: Round trip airfare to/from Israel is not included in the program tuition in order to lower the costs to the participant. Students are welcome to fly on the airline of their choice or purchase a ticket using frequent flier miles. Our travel agent, who specializes in Israel travel, will be in touch with participants’ families several months prior to departure in order to assist in finding the best fares to suit each student’s needs. A preferred flight will be offered to the group as an option.
