Consortium for the Teaching of Hebrew Language and Culture

The Consortium for the Teaching of Hebrew Language and Culture offers online asynchronous classes to Hebrew language learners and Hebrew teachers through Brandeis University. At Brandeis, you will discover a community rooted in purpose, guided by our founding values, poised to lead in education and research in the 21st century.

The programs offered include Hebrew language classes in two levels (beginner and intermediate) taught as an online and asynchronous class. These classes can be taken in high school or during your academic studies (undergraduate or graduate), for academic credit. These classes are also open for any individual interested in strengthening their language skills.

Hebrew teachers are invited to explore a variety of graduate-level classes. The classes are all taught in Hebrew and are geared toward those who teach Hebrew or are interested in teaching.

Middlebury’s School of Hebrew combines the best of two worlds—a time-tested curriculum and an immersion learning environment.

When spending a summer at the School of Hebrew you’ll experience a total immersion environment with the Language Pledge®—a promise to read, write, listen, and speak only in your language of study. Programs are open to undergraduates, recent graduates, graduate students at other institutions, and professionals of all ages.

Hebrew Program Options:

• 7-week immersion program for beginner to advanced students who want to improve language proficiency as rapidly as possible. A 7-week Biblical Hebrew track option is also available.
• 3-week immersion program for those who want to immerse themselves in our intensive language environment for three weeks instead of seven. There is a Lifelong learner track option for adult students. 
• A graduate program for students seeking a degree in teaching Hebrew as a Second Language or graduate-level courses in certain content areas.
