Our Mission
Explorica Summer Academy stemmed from the idea that students should have opportunities for in-depth cultural exploration outside the classroom. So with a management team that boasts 150 years of combined industry experience, Explorica offers high-quality, road-tested tours for adventurous students and teachers.

Our three-week programs let high-school students from across the country, ages 14 to 18 years old, combine international travel, study, and adventure as they learn about the world from teachers and from each other. And each three-week tour presents unique learning opportunities with accredited institutions, from French schools on the Côte d’Azur to conservation organizations in Costa Rica or South Africa.

This trip was my dream vacation, but it was also much more than that. It provided me with the opportunity to travel the world all the while learning about myself as well the different cultures of the nations we visited.

What better way to learn the history of everything around you than to see it firsthand?
