Tour dates

Tours are usually made to coincide with school holidays, namely Easter (April), Summer (July - August) and Christmas (December).

Given the different school options, tailor made tours are available for groups and schools throughout the year on request.

Due to international challenges of travel from Africa, we advise students to consider how to manage jet lag, which may cause them to sleep for two days!!

Departure dates may be more flexible based on prior negotiation.

Mission

Educational Travel seeks to enhance the vision and leadership skills of students; to improve morale, self image, and give a vision for success academically and in life. Our premise is “Where there is no vision, the people perish”.

We empower students by benchmarking through exposure to the best local and international academic institutions. Students are challenged to develop core capabilities such as Team Dynamics & Influence, Innovation, Change Management & Entrepreneurial Action, Negotiation & Conflict Resolution, and Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication. These are “caught” within the exciting context of 12 - day travel to Ivy League Universities at the East Coast of the United States of America and three top-tier universities.

This provides real tools for seeking admission into these institutions by meeting relevant admissions officers and alumni, with pre & post - travel strategic support from our partners.

The best way to get a feel for these universities is to visit the campuses. This provides an opportunity to learn about the campus experiences by attending an admission information session and taking a campus tour. Information sessions and tours are a good way for prospective students and their families to ask questions, get answers, and develop a better sense of what the universities have to offer.
