The Most Successful Program in Israel to Explicitly Teach SEL in Elementary and Middle Schools
The SEL.IL Center’s flagship program, I Can Succeed (ICS), has been successfully implemented in educational frameworks throughout Israel for many years. It is the only comprehensive SEL program in Israel whose benefits have been confirmed in research.

It is the only SEL program in the country that is customized for each developmental stage, enabling educators to focus on cultivating the skills suitable for each grade based on each class’s needs.

Why is Social-Emotional Learning Important?
Social-emotional learning (SEL) is the best way to prepare the next generation to successfully address challenges in school and life, to contribute to students’ and educators’ emotional wellbeing, and to create a supportive, nurturing atmosphere at schools. Research shows that explicitly teaching SEL competencies is the foundation for achieving this. The ICS program can be your school’s first step in this process!
