A major component of the Al-Maissam's activities is education. Currently, the Center aims to benefit the local population at many different levels, but future plans will also allow the Center to offer ecotourists a wide variety of educational programs. Students, (elementary and high school) visit the Center regularly. Accompanied by guides from the Center students and teachers are able to explore and learn about organic agriculture, water resources, native plants, composting, alternative building, irrigation techniques, medicinal attributes of regional plants and permaculture. Some students also perform specialized projects that compliment their standard education at school, while others take specialized courses that prepare them for graduation from high school and may include final projects that earn credits towards their Bagrut (Ministry of Education’s high school graduation certificate). Teachers receive preliminary training to prepare for field trips and activities at the center.
