What is NETA?
NETA is a dynamic new Hebrew language curriculum designed for students in grades
7-12. Created by Hebrew language curriculum specialists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, administered by Hebrew College and supported by The AVI CHAI Foundation, NETA is reaching students in nearly 90 Jewish day schools nationwide and the list keeps growing.

The multi-dimensional NETA program integrates the four major language-acquisition skills-listening, speaking, reading and writing-by immersing students in everything from classical Hebrew texts to Israeli music, and from historical documents to poetry and drama. NETA believes that Hebrew is best learned when taught in its linguistic, cultural and spiritual context using Hebrew of all historical periods: biblical, rabbinic, medieval, enlightenment and modern. Comprising original texts of all genres, the curriculum is always intellectually challenging, engaging the students' thought processes. Students encounter materials and exercises of increasing complexity as they progress toward proficiency in Hebrew.

To ensure classroom success, NETA provides professional development workshops and support from a team of mentors to help teachers create meaningful language learning for adolescents through the NETA materials. A detailed teacher¹s guide accompanies each NETA study unit.
