AMIT operates 106 schools and two surrogate family residences (youth villages). The AMIT Network was selected by Israel’s Ministry of Education as the leading Jewish educational network across all measurements, including quality bagrut, pedagogical innovation, pluralism and bridging the gap, lowest dropout rate and integrity. AMIT’s has not only raised bagrut scores across the reshet (“network”), it has also significantly increased the number of students studying math, physics, science and technology subjects at the highest levels. AMIT graduates maintain a high level of military service or national service (95%), and they enter the army and the workforce equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century. AMIT maintains a balance of 70% of its schools in Israel’s periphery (disadvantaged areas) and 30% in the more affluent center of Israel. When new schools are admitted to the network, this balance is maintained. HistoryAMIT was founded on May 10, 1925, by [https://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/amit Bessie Gotsfeld], and was then known as the Mizrachi Women's Organization of America.[5] It officially incorporated on October 2, 1930.[2] As early as 1934, AMIT was at the forefront of Youth children from Europe and their resettlement in Palestine. In the years ahead, and immediately following the end of the war in Europe, AMIT participated in the resettlement of thousands of children — many of them orphans — who survived the Holocaust. The survivors of the Holocaust were followed by the large influx of Jews from North Africa and the Arab countries in 1948-49. Again, AMIT's resources were tested as its facilities were flooded by the pressing needs of tens of thousands of newly arrived immigrant children. In 1955, the first contingent of Ethiopian Jews arrived and in the 1970s, the great Russian immigration began. With each new development in Israel's history AMIT responded, opening new schools and facilities to meet the demands of a growing population of children in need. In 1981, AMIT was designated by the Israeli government as its official Reshet (network) for religious secondary technological education. This landmark event set the stage for a major expansion of AMIT's educational facilities (which continues to this day) as municipalities with faltering school systems seek out AMIT to take over and dramatically improve their local facilities. AMIT TodayAMIT operates 110 schools, youth villages, surrogate family residences and other programs, constituting Israel’s only government-recognized network of religious Jewish education incorporating academic and technological studies. AMIT students boast an 85% (bagrut) matriculation rate, exceeding the national average of 70% among Israeli Jewish students.{{cn|date=August 2018}} More than 95% of its graduates enlist in the Israel Defense Forces or perform national service.{{cn|date=August 2018}} FundraisingAMIT schools are funded by local municipalities, Israel's Ministry of Education and generous supporters. It is support from individuals that help take the schools from good to great. List of AMIT Schools{{columns-list|colwidth=18em|.Acco
