Welcome to ASSIST in the Middle East

ASSIST entered the Middle East to help young Israeli and Palestinian students currently in the 10th grade who would like to spend one year as exchange students in the United States as 11th graders.  There are also some opportunities available to students entering the 12th grade and as postgraduate students.
