About ESRA ETP
Now more than ever, English is not a privilege — it is a lifeline.
The ongoing war has deepened educational inequities, leaving thousands of children at risk of falling behind. In times of instability, English provides confidence, opportunity, and access to a stronger future. At ESRA ETP, in partnership with the Israel Ministry of Education, we deliver flexible, high-impact English programs to schools nationwide — reaching children who need support the most.
Our initiatives include in-classroom support for grades 5–12; COBE, an online oral English Bagrut simulation for grades 10–12; Chat Away, online speaking practice for grades 9–12; TOPS, curriculum-based academic support for grades 5–9; and Teacher Chat, professional development speaking practice for English teachers.
