Since its inception in 2011, the Excellence Center in Palestine has provided educational and cultural services to the Hebron community. Such instructional programing has included the offering of numerous English language courses that facilitate English language skills at all student levels.

During the past eight years, the Center has continued to organize activities benefiting the Hebron community at large. Such offerings have included clothing collections for residents in the refugee camps, summer camps for local school children, English language resume and business writing workshops for university students and job interview training for the larger student population. Meanwhile, the Hebron community has been presented with a myriad of cultural activities that serve to entertain and educate. These activities have included food festivals, musical concerts, Ramadan iftar meals, cultural workshops exploring societal similarities & differences, and many other community events.

ย Since its beginning, the Excellence Center has hosted over 450 volunteers, students, interns and visitors from every corner of the world. This engagement of students and community members in English language learning and activities has promoted cultural understanding between peoples, as well as within the Palestinian society itself.

The Excellence Centerโ€™s varied programs are unique opportunities for internationals seeking to make a difference in the lives of others, as well as their own. Working at the Excellence Center provides international teachers and volunteers not only with first-hand knowledge of the Palestinian experience – complete with all the political realities that follow suit – it does so by way of direct shared living experience with Palestinian families and communities themselves. These International participants learn by doing.

The Excellence Center makes a concerted effort to provide its students with the latest, most effective teaching methods to learn English. The Center educates its students with local and international teachers who employ the most up-to-date and effectual approaches toward and methods in language learning.

The Excellence Center maintains exemplary, productive relationships and partnerships with many governmental and non-governmental companies alike. Such collaborations include the Ministry of Education, Palestine Polytechnic University, Al-Quds University, Hebron University, the Saad Center, the Ibdaa Center, the Sharak Center, the Hebron Governance, Al Rabiaa Radio, Wattan T.V. and many others.

The Excellence Center believes strongly in the fundamental role that education plays in the lives of the Palestinian community. To this end, the Excellence Center will continue to develop and create new programs and activities that further this role. Today, the Excellence Center in Palestine occupies a notable presence as a vibrant educational, cultural, and community center in Hebron – one that continues to offer a wealth of opportunity.
