A global curriculum, simplified

We develop custom, scalable short-term study abroad programs that help our institutional partners maximize travel and skill-building opportunities for students of all backgrounds.

Our programs are informed by close collaboration with academic institutions, enhanced with outcomes assessment and curriculum integration tools, and driven by our vision for diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging for all learners.

New program

The Black Experience: London, Paris and Amsterdam

New itinerary. New learning moments.

Designed to provide insight to the African diaspora, this program approaches the cultures, sites and rich histories of each European landmark city through the lens of the Black Experience. Through expert facilitated discussions and guided learning, topics such as change and continuity and historical significance will prompt new and engaging perspectives while inviting critical thinking about the evolution of these communities, their complex pasts, and vibrant presents.
