Tel-Hai College, inspired by its founders’ spirit of pioneering excellence and
entrepreneurship, is a growing leader of higher education and scientific inquiry
in Israel’s northern Galilee. Set in the heart of spectacular scenery, Tel-Hai,
with its unique Galilee character, has become a hub that attracts superb
scientists and talented young adults from across Israel and around the world.
Tel-Hai’s location, adjacent to the diverse ecosystems of the Hula Valley, the
agricultural field and bird migration routes along the valley of the Great Rift,
the frontline communities scattered along Israel’s volatile northern borders,
designates its mission to explore and generate the region’s resources to
create academia and science of global significance.
Recognized in 1996 as an independent academic institution, Tel-Hai’s main
flagship fields of discipline are Health, Environment and Biotechnology.
Much of the College’s academic breadth and scientific stamina stem from its
strategic affiliation with MIGAL – Galilee Research Institute located in Kiryat
Shemona. Tel-Hai is the only college in Israel to have an affiliate research
institute.
Mission
The College harnesses the area’s diverse natural resources to create
excellent academia and innovative scientific inquiry, which generates growth
in the communities of the Galilee. Tel-Hai draws talented students and
outstanding faculty from Israel and the world, leveraging its academic activity
for the strategic and economic development of the Galilee, developing the
next generation of scientists, researchers, teachers, and leaders who will
impact the region, the country and the world.
Vision
The College will serve as the academic and scientific leader of the Galilee,
committed to academic excellence, innovation and the pioneering spirit of its
founders.
Values
Tel-Hai develops and maintains a culture of collaboration, critical discourse,
curiosity, while constantly searching for new knowledge and insight. College
management upholds the academic freedom and freedom of speech of all
individuals in its midst
