Our journey towards excellence began in 2011 with the opening of the Excellence Center in Hebron, Palestine. Seven years later, we expanded our work internationally with the creation of the Excellence Center in Halle, Germany. In our over 13 years of experience, we have led community development initiatives supporting integration and international exchange.
The following is a short overview of our history and successes in Palestine and Germany.
The Excellence Center in Palestine 2011
The Excellence Center in Palestine for Education and Training Services was established in Hebron in June 2011 to provide educational, cultural, social, and community development services to a diverse group of international students, interns, and volunteers, as well as to Palestinian children, refugees, youth, women and community members in Hebron, West Bank, Palestine.
The Excellence Center in Europe 2018
As a result of the ongoing success of the Excellence Center in Hebron, we expanded our work in Germany, in the city of Halle. In 2018, the Excellence Center in Europe began offering educational and community programs to locals and internationals. Since its founding, the Center’s community and language instruction programs have made it an integral part of the local Halle community. Through cooperation with other local organizations and hosting a diverse group of international volunteers, the center has established itself as a unique hub for travelers looking to serve and experience Germany from a multicultural perspective.
Engage in Palestine in June 2021
In the meantime, our work in Palestine has continued to grow with Engage in Palestine, a program offering language and service programs for international travelers. Based in Hebron, Palestine, Engage in Palestine has become well-known for its Levantine (Shami) and Palestinian Arabic intensive immersion courses and cultural programming. International students looking to learn Arabic and experience Palestine participate in educational, social, and cultural initiatives supporting not only their Arabic studies but also youth, women, and refugees in Palestine.
Volunteer in Palestine in 2022
Once again, the Excellence Center in Palestine expanded its critical work in 2022 with Volunteer in Palestine. Dedicated to serving the Palestinian community, Volunteer in Palestine was established to bridge Palestinian students with their peers abroad.
The center has become a pillar of the community, offering educational, cultural, social, and community services to a diverse group of international students, interns, and volunteers, as well as to its Palestinian students in Hebron.
Study Syrian Arabic School 2025
Most recently, the Excellence Center extended its offerings to an online setting with Study Syrian Arabic School. Founded in 2025, Study Syrian Arabic School is dedicated to teaching Arabic language and culture to an even wider audience. With flexible online offerings, we strive to make studying Arabic simple and convenient for learners anywhere in the world.
Our Arabic online courses are designed for beginner to advanced learners, with a focus on using the language to integrate with native Arabic-speaking communities. Therefore, courses emphasize practical conversation and frequently used vocabulary.
Community Awards
As a result of 13 years of successful expansion, The Excellence Center in Europe and Palestine was honored with several prestigious Community Awards. Recognized as the Best Language School, Top Internship Provider, and Top Volunteer Provider for the years 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023, our programs have consistently provided transformative educational and service experiences for thousands of students around the world.
