DAVE & EDITH AGAUAS JEANETTE & IRVING AUSLANDER n1117 interview to gauge the can- didate's psychological make- up, and presentation of pro- jects illustrating the students various interests. "It is everything but an IQ test:' says Eleanor Heft, director of Public Relations. Shoham Levy is one of a dozen science students who are as brilliant in music as in math and major in both. "The goal here is not for high marks," he points out, "but to study each subject in depth and gain a full grasp of the topic." Now nearing the end of his first year of study, Itai Ryb, who majors in chemistry, speaks excitedly of his week- ly course in Integrated Studies: "I particularly en- joyed studying the cosmos, which we looked at from both scientific and historical perspectives." It is impossible to compare the Arts and Science Academy with ordinary high schools. Here students move noiselessly along the cor- ridors; the library, open till 11 p.m., is constantly full of in- dependent learners; and the computer terminals are never idle. Even the students refer to their lessons as courses, their major subjects as their fields of study and their rooms as rna'onot (dorms). The idea for the school began 10 years ago when education for the academically limited was the priority. Attitudes to study are also most unusual for high school students. Says Uri Maoz, "At home I would lie on my bed, listen to music, go out, and if I had time, do some homework. Here at the Academy, it's a whole dif- ferent ball game. We often have tests to do even after for- mal studying hours." In addition to their studies the students are expected to contribute 2-4 hours a week of community service. Itai teaches chemistry to children at a local school and Shelley, an art student, works with mentally handicapped children. Mr. Ryb points out that the educators who planned the program "failed to consider the problem of time. They didn't take into account that we need to sleep sometime." With that he is off to find one of his teachers to discuss a project he has in mind.0 WZPS nan to all our friends and relatives. to all our friends and relatives.
