The Enigma Program is a unique 5-unit high school track designed for grades 10 through 12, focusing on intelligence collection and research professions.
Enigma introduces an innovative learning approach centered on developing high-order thinking skills through active learning methods. Teachers act as mentors, guiding students to become independent learners and construct their own knowledge bases.
The program includes practical, experiential learning via projects, simulations, case studies, and debates that mimic real intelligence scenarios. It emphasizes 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, teamwork, complex problem solving, decision-making under uncertainty, and digital literacy.
At the program’s end, students present a final project integrating their acquired knowledge and skills, highlighting independent learning, strategic understanding, and innovative thinking.
Graduates gain pathways to meaningful roles in the IDF, security agencies, academia, and leading tech industries.
