While not a full high school program, the Alexander Muss High School in Israel Program offers a semester of study for high school students which 53 students will have participated this year. Informal educational opportunities also abound for Jewish youth. Synagogue and community youth groups, Jewish day and overnight camps in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and Israel summer experiences are used extensively by Jewish youth. Post-high school age students who remain in the area have several options for continuing their Jewish education. All of the local colleges and universities offer undergraduate courses in Jewish studies, and the University of Minnesota, St. Thomas University, Carleton College and Macalester College have either recently endowed chairs of Jewish studies, or have expanded their Jewish studies offerings.
Classes are also available through Hillel.
