PLEASE NOTE: Programme prices are fixed in US Dollars ($).  All prices shown on this page in Pounds (£), Euros (€), and/or Rands (R) are approximate for informational purposes only, based on approximate exchange rates of $1 = £0.665, €0.768, or R9.070 (as of 1 March 2013). For other currencies, use the current exchange rate to estimate costs. For the prices in Dollars, see http://www.aardvarkisrael.com/our-great-price/tuition

The price of Aardvark Israel includes programme tuition, housing, medical insurance, fees for all academic courses, field trips, seminars, local transportation, and more. Each special interest programme price includes the cost of all instruction, extra-curricular activities, workshops, and seminars. The Am Yisrael World Adventure and Aardvark International programme prices include round trip airfare between Israel and the foreign destination and all programme costs associated with each trip, including meals during foreign travel.  The cost of any visas which may be required are not included in the program tuition.

Please note: The cost of meals is not included in the price of the programme. Aardvark Israel staff will work with the students in each flat 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 £1,000 | €1,150 | R13,600 on food costs over the course of the year, or approximately £500 | €575 | R6,800 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 programme 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.
