There’s more to learning than sitting in a classroom and taking in a lecture – it’s something we all instinctively understand, but only recently have begun addressing in our education system.

EduTravel for Credit is a leader in the experiential learning space, working to redefine the traditional boundaries of education. 

Our unique program allows high school students in Ontario to embark on journeys that transcend conventional classrooms, offering them the invaluable opportunity to earn academic credits while exploring the world’s most celebrated and breathtaking sights. 

How It Works

EduTravel for Credit works to combine academic learning with real-world experiences to create an impactful and unparalleled educational journey. Students enroll in a specifically designed course that is thoughtfully linked to a travel destination. The journey includes guided tours, field studies, and hands-on workshops relevant to their course. Certified teachers and principals accompany the students, ensuring not only educational integrity but also their safety and well-being.

We cater to a wide array of subjects, from Art History in Europe to Environmental Studies in the Dominican Republic or Fiji. Each program is meticulously crafted to align with Ontario’s curriculum standards, ensuring that the travel experience directly enhances the academic content.

In short: students travel the world, complete an academic course, come home with credits and lifetime memories. 

The Educational Journey

Is there a better place to explore the French language and culture than the walls of the Louvre? Or about Biology and Evolution than by going to the source – the Galapagos Islands, following in the footsteps of Darwin?

EduTravel takes learning out of textbooks and into the real world. The courses are structured to provide a balanced mix of academic learning, cultural immersion, and personal exploration. 

Student travel programs include lessons during the day, while evenings and free times are often reserved for cultural experiences and socializing. The goal is to encourage long-lasting learning and instill a love of travel, an acceptance and appreciation of different cultures, channel that curious and adventurous spirit that teenagers often have in a positive way, and overall ensure that they have the time of their lives, preparing them for adulthood . . . while also learning a thing or two. 

Oh, and did we mention that these travel experiences often help differentiate college applicants and help your child stand out? 

Benefits of Travel for Credit

Deepened Understanding: The immersive nature of EduTravel’s programs fosters a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Students not only learn about historical events, art movements, or environmental issues but also experience them firsthand.

Cultural Awareness: Traveling to different countries exposes students to diverse cultures, enhancing their global awareness and tolerance.

Personal Growth: Living and traveling with peers fosters independence, confidence, and social skills. It’s a step towards preparing them for post-secondary life.

Engagement and Retention: The experiential learning model has proven to be highly effective in enhancing student engagement and retention of knowledge.

Academic Credit: One of the most significant advantages is that students earn high school credits, aiding in their academic progression.

Academic Success: With a lower teacher-to-student ratio and the added benefit of lessons coming alive (the Coliseum is simply more engaging in person than on the page) students are often able to achieve superior grades. 

Safety and Support

Safety is paramount in EduTravel programs. The presence of certified educators and adherence to strict safety procedures ensure a secure learning environment. Additionally, the low student-educator ratio allows for personalized attention, catering to the individual learning needs of students.

Financial Accessibility

EduTravel is committed to inclusivity, offering an extensive bursary program to assist families who might otherwise be unable to participate. This commitment ensures that the enriching experience of travel for credit is accessible to all students, regardless of their financial background.
