What Academic and Technology College of Tel-Hai does

Tel-Hai Academic College is a private higher education institution located in Kiryat Shmona in the Upper Galilee region of northern Israel. It operates three faculties — Education and Teaching, Social Sciences and Humanities, and Natural and Life Sciences (with a Faculty of Engineering and Advanced Communications for computer science and AI Systems Engineering) — along with an Institute for Arts offering certificate programs in ceramics, jewelry, and plastic arts. The institution serves primarily Israeli undergraduate and graduate students through B.A., B.Sc., B.Ed., M.A., and M.Sc. programs, plus preparatory tracks (including dedicated programs for students with learning disabilities), teacher training, continuing education, and Erasmus+ exchange opportunities.

The technology stack is conventional for a modern academic institution: Moodle-based learning management, Microsoft Office 365 with OneDrive cloud storage, a student portal at portal.telhai.ac.il, a dedicated mobile application, and a Panovision virtual tour platform for prospective students. Research operations are supported by an institutional Research Authority providing ethics committee oversight, internal/external grant administration, and journal publication support. Faculty compete for grants from major international funding bodies including the European Research Council, U.S.-Israel Binational Science Foundation, BARD, Novo Nordisk Foundation, Horizon Europe, Wellcome Trust, Simons Foundation, Schmidt Sciences, the Israeli Ministry of Innovation Science and Technology, and Dartmouth College collaborations.

As a public academic institution regulated by Israel's Council for Higher Education, Tel-Hai's revenue is generated through regulated tuition, state per-student allocations, competitive research grants, and non-credit external studies programs. No revenue, budget figures, or enrollment statistics are publicly disclosed. The institution's geographic focus on the Galilee and Golan positions it as a regional anchor for higher education access in northern Israel, with marketing conducted via its website, social media channels (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook), open days, and community events.
