At Aardvark Israel, we believe that learning takes place outside the classroom as much as inside. Students regularly participate in excursions throughout Jerusalem and Tel Aviv as well as the northern and southern areas of the country. These field trips include visits to museums, historical sites, a variety of communities, nature reserves, and more. Two types of excursions are offered in order to cater to both students who have little prior experience in Israel and those who have previously toured the country. Field trips are offered approximately once a week. In addition, a variety of seminars are held throughout the year on current and relevant topics.
