Hebrew ulpan in Ashkelon: where new immigrants can study
Studying Hebrew at an ulpan is a basic step for new immigrants in Ashkelon. The city runs the government-supervised Kalanit ulpan, under the pedagogical oversight of the Ministry of Education's Adult Education department, with morning and evening classes.
A separate program runs at Ashkelon Academic College together with the Jewish Agency and the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration — it's designed for young immigrants preparing for university admission: Hebrew is taught from scratch at the student's level, and the course runs for about five months.
Funding for new immigrants' ulpan studies is governed by a separate benefit entitlement — contact the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration or check the Kol-Zchut portal, which lays out the eligibility conditions for language-course funding.
