Welcome to the Center for Excellence’s center of operations. Along with IASA, the campus is home to the Israel Center for Excellence through Education’s national programs and teacher training facilities. This is where the journey of excellence begins.

The Schusterman Family Campus is unique among high schools in Israel. The modern educational complex sits on nineteen acres and overlooks the spectacular beauty of the southern hills of Jerusalem. It opened its gates to the first IASA classes on September 2, 1990.

The Student Life Center was made possible in part by a grant from the Agency for International Development of the United States Government.  It houses the student dormitories, the dining room, student club rooms, and medical offices.

It houses the Excellence Educators Institute (EEI), the Center for Excellence's national center for Mitchell Excellence 2000 along with all of the Center for Excellence's national programs. IASA's Sculpture Studio is on the ground floor of this beautiful facility. The Chais Center for Excellence also houses the Norman and Helen Asher Sports Hall and the Norman Zuckerman/Nathan Asher Fitness and Movement Studios.
