The Solomon course is made up of ten sessions, with the first session starting in the fall in November/December, and the graduation in the spring, ending the course no later than May. Sessions are scheduled every other week (excluding winter and spring breaks) and run for two hours. Each session is held on the same day of the week and at the same time of day throughout the program, for example every other Monday from 5-7 pm.
Please pick your dates with the Jewish calendar, local school calendar, and location availability in mind. Sessions cannot be held on holidays or school vacation days. If many of your potential Fellows attend the same school, make sure to find out about any school wide trips, e.g. to Israel or similar. Once the dates are finalized and sent to print, they cannot be changed.
When a session needs to be pushed off due to school vacation or a holiday, it is moved to the earliest possible opportunity after the vacation. It is still held on the same day of the week and at the same time.
The Graduation session is scheduled 4 weeks after the final regular session, to give the students enough time to hand in their final essays and projects and prepare for the graduation.
