Preparatory Year Program
The Preparatory Year Program at Al-Qasemi Academy is a recognized academic program by the Higher Education Council and is funded by the Ministry of Education.
The preparatory program is considered a golden opportunity for students who have not been fortunate enough to obtain the full Bagrut certificate or those who did not achieve the required Bagrut average for admission to the academy. The GPA obtained at the end of the preparatory program serves as a substitute for their previous Bagrut average. Generally, a high percentage of preparatory program students achieve GPAs that qualify them for admission to various academic subjects. Therefore, this program is the first step towards achieving the academic dream for this group of students.
