JCT's Mechina (Pre-Academic) Program

JCT's Mechina (pre-academic preparatory program) enables students who lack the necessary academic background to become college ready in within 16 months.

Students begin with a three month pre-academic program in mathematics and English to assess their ability to study in a classroom 
environment and their academic aptitude. Upon successful completion of the pre-academic program, students enter the mechina program which includes intensive studies in math, English and physics in preparation for their academic studies. The mechina program offers various tracks tailored to students' specific academic goals, enabling them to bolster their proficiency in areas aligned with their chosen degrees.  

In the summer of 2023, JCT launched a new mechina program for Haredi men and women seeking to become physicians.  The program is designed for students who already have a bachelor’s degree, with classes twice a week for six-hour sessions for three semesters over 15 months, with additional online units for independent study. The goal is to prepare students for success in the entrance examinations at Israel’s medical schools
