2 Strengthen Weaker Students<br />
Strengthening weaker students includes programming that supports schools with a higher percentage<br />
of weak students, while also targeting specific populations in <strong>Jerusalem</strong>. The Azrieli Educational Empowerment<br />
Program targets junior high school students who are at risk of dropping out of school. It is a highly successful<br />
program country-wide and is now implemented in 5 different <strong>Jerusalem</strong> schools. Finally, the Comprehensive<br />
Adolescent and Support Treatment Center (CAST), with branches in the Gilo and Beit Hinuch Schools<br />
provides at-risk children with tactile and expressive therapy using martial arts, drama and photography<br />
instruction as well as art and music therapy to reach children’s emotional core. The chart below reflects<br />
some of the <strong>Foundation</strong>'s investment in this area:<br />
