Friday marked the last day of the 5774 school year for 673,000 Israeli high school students.
On July 1, the vacationing teenagers, in grades seven through 12, will be joined by another 1.5 million elementary school students and over 71,000 teachers who will begin the education system’s summer break.
The 5775 school year — Israeli academic years are delineated by the Hebrew calendar year — is slated to begin September 1.
The Education Ministry has produced a special app, “Educating Around the Clock,” that will allow students to find educational programs taking place during the summer months in all 250 towns, villages and local councils. The information is also available on the Education Ministry website.
Some 70 percent of first- and second-graders — or over 150,000 children — have signed up for summer programs, the Walla news site said, quoting education officials.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
