Why Choose Rothberg International School?
Overseas students have been attending the Hebrew University since its opening in 1925. The first organized group of 22 American students arrived for a full year of accredited study in 1955. This laid the groundwork for the One Year Program (today called the Undergraduate Study Abroad Program) and eventually its home, the School for Overseas Students, which was formally inaugurated in 1971. On its 10th anniversary, the School was dedicated in honor of Sam Rothberg, whose vision, initiative and drive were major factors in its creation and development. Today the School has become an international arena, attracting students from around the world. The Rothberg International School has a full-fledged faculty, with an annual student population of over 3,000 students, who converge at the university to find intellectual challenge, religious bonds, political analysis, and cultural activity. In the hallways of the school you can hear English spoken in the accents of New York, New England, and the Deep South, of Britain, Australia, and South Africa. Still, English is not the only language you will hear in our hallowed halls. You will also hear students speaking in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, Polish, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Swedish, Norwegian, Korean, and Japanese. The Hebrew University brings all these students, from over 60 countries, together in Jerusalem to share a common experience in Hebrew, their new common language.
