Entering its next phase, Arcademy, an Israeli startup specializing in integrating gaming into school curriculums, will launch in schools across Israel and the United States next year after a successful trial period.

During the two-month trial conducted at nine schools in Petah Tikva, positive feedback poured in from both teachers and students. Students engaged with the platform for two to four hours weekly.

Educators observed enhanced student participation in lessons, along with notable improvements in problem-solving, multitasking, and creativity skills. One teacher particularly highlighted the platform's intuitive interface, emphasizing its pivotal role in fostering interactive and immersive learning experiences.

Initially launching in American Jewish schools, Arcademy intends to later extend its presence to broader educational settings.

“By prioritizing the dynamic American Jewish community, we merge cultural heritage with state-of-the-art technology, nurturing a specialized learning atmosphere that reflects their values and ambitions.”
