Mission Statement

Boys Town Jerusalem is one of Israel's premier institutions for educating the country's next generation of leaders in the fields of technology, commerce, education, the military and public service. Since its founding in 1948, BTJ has pursued its mission of turning young boys from limited backgrounds into young men with limitless futures. From Junior High through the College level, the three part curriculum at Boys Town - academic, technological and Torah - is designed to turn otherwise disadvantaged Israeli youth into productive citizens of tomorrow. Boys Town’s 18 acre campus is a home away from home for its more than 900 students. More than 7,000 graduates hold key positions throughout Israeli society.

About This Cause

Founded in response to the Holocaust, and dedicated to providing an outstanding education for Israeli children, regardless of race, class or socio-economic background, Boys Town Jerusalem is a residential school located within Israel's pre-1967 borders. It encompasses grades 7-12 and a two year College of Applied Engineering. Graduates receive a full academic high school diploma, qualifying them to enter any college-level institution. The curriculum, which is monitored and approved by Israel's Ministry of Education, combines the timeless values of the Jewish heritage and advanced technology, while inspiring students to serve the State of Israel, as both soldiers and responsible citizens. Boys Town Jerusalem serves Jews from all backgrounds equally and is independent of all American or Israeli political and sectarian affiliations. Boys Town Jerusalem cordially invites the support of all who share its vision of turning students from disadvantaged backgrounds into Israel's future leaders, with unlimited futures. We are grateful to the extended Boys Town Family for its outstanding and dedicated support for "our boys," and proud of the role that support has played in our students’ exceptional accomplishments. In the face of an uncertain economy and a reduction in government support for education, Boys Town Jerusalem has nevertheless maintained lofty academic status and high standards for excellence.
