Borj Al Shemali Center began implementing the LEAP Program on 9 July 2018. The program will continue until 13 August 2018 and aims to help 208 students study the English language. The program provides English language lessons and trains students to improve their language skills, including reading, writing, and analysis.
It is open for students from 7th to 9th grade. The students also participate in daily entertainment activities and field trips on Fridays.
In Burj al-Shemali, the Program included several activities, particularly the documentation of success stories achieved by the center in the past years, and the preservation of Palestinian heritage by creating a Palestinian cook book.
