CROSS-CURRICULAR TOURS
The benefits of cross-curriculum learning are well documented; such as promoting teamwork between students, encouraging critical thinking, improving the overall learning process and increasing motivation. When combining curriculums, students discover and establish clear connections between subjects and this translates to a meaningful learning opportunity.
These same benefits are duplicated with our cross-curricular tours where students are able to gain an out of class experience covering both subjects of the curriculum. The cross-curricular tour experiences provided by Educational Journeys allow schools to have a set of learning objectives that span several subjects. They are designed to benefit both those students who have elected joint curricular subjects as well as those who are studying a subject that is included as part of a joint tour departure.
Customised tours are built around any combination of subjects and topics available. Some examples of cross-curricular tour combinations include Environmental Science & Geography (Hawaii) – Language & STEM (China) – Literature & Visual Arts (UK & France) – History & Arts (Italy & Greece) – History & Performing Arts (New York) – Media Studies & Art and Design (USA).
