In response to ongoing educational disruptions in Gaza, Code.X hosts the Gaza Summer School, a fully online program designed for 11th and 12th grade students from across the Gaza Strip.

This initiative was spearheaded by a Code for Palestine Gaza graduate who is now attending Stanford University.

Our Approach

The Gaza Summer School has several aims:

  • Bridge gaps in education caused by canceled or disrupted high school classes since October 7

  • Offer academic support in high-demand subjects, including standardized test prep and university applications

  • Extend the legacy of YouthCode-Gaza, allowing alumni to continue their learning journey

  • Strengthen scholarship readiness alongside concurrent participation in Code.X’s broader Gaza Continuing Education Program

The program is delivered flexibly across Zoom, YouTube, and WhatsApp, adapting to the realities and educational challenges faced by our students.
