About this program

The Hebrew Immersion Program (HIP) ONLINE was launched five years ago in response to the needs of our community.

This program is designed for children who don’t have access to HIP at school and wish to learn Hebrew. It’s not only about Hebrew, it’s about culture and community- meeting other children at similar ages. GETTING TOGETHER is one of the main attractions of our programs!

This engaging program offers a dynamic Hebrew language education, designed to foster a love for the language and build confidence in reading, writing, and essential speaking skills.

After running this program successfully in Melbourne for years, we are now available for children who live in VIC, SA, and WA!

Running after school, currently Monday and Thursday, from 4:30 to 5:15 PM (AEST), the program caters to children from Prep to Year 6 in small groups. All that’s needed is a computer and internet connection, with learning resources sent directly to your home.
