“Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder a part of experience.”
– Sir Francis Bacon
Differentiating Educational Content
Capstone provides unique educational content that sets the Capstone particpant apart from other students. Our tours are capstone educational achievements, drawing from multiple disciplines in order to complete.
College Language Credit Option
Capstone offers students the option to pursue a college language credit in conjunction with Clark University through a combination of pre-tour coursework, performed at your convenience, on-tour language immersion and post-tour reflection essays. The entire experience is guided by Capstone and overseen by educators.
Travel Journaling for College Admissions
Students looking to matriculate to collegiate settings are often posed with challenging questions in school interviews and application documents. Capstone provides travel journals to all participants that provide writing prompts that aim to assist in the difficult process of extracting meaning from your travel experience. These experiences become a part of the learner and can be drawn upon later as an answer to an otherwise difficult interview question.
Colleges and universities are also often looking for graded work samples. For an extra fee, Capstone will provide feedback and ultimately grade a submitted Travel Journal.
International Capstone Certificate
All participants will be provided with educational content in preparation for their tour. Subjects like history, art, language, architecture will all be discussed in detail. These studies will be critical to complete prior to the tour to fully understand and appreciate all that the tour has to offer. Post-tour, students are encouraged to submit their travel journals to Capstone. Upon review of the material, Capstone will provide an International Ambassador Certificate signifying completion of rigorous preparation, on-tour excellence and post-tour reflection.
