Prepare Students to Achieve With College Credit from the University of Virginia
The University Credit Series lets you be the teacher that gives your students a competitive edge when preparing for the future. Through our courses, students are challenged academically by college-level coursework, which sets them apart from their peers and allows them to achieve at a higher level while still in high school.
Students leave our programs inspired to set high goals for their future and with the tools to achieve them. College credit granted by the highly ranked University of Virginia is a unique distinction on college applications and essays, and one that only the University Credit Series can offer. By traveling on one of our select University Credit Series tours, your students could enter college with an official transcript from the University of Virginia, one of the top public universities in the nation!
The University of Virginia was founded by Thomas Jefferson in 1819, and sustains the ideal of developing leaders who are well-prepared to help shape the future of the nation. In 2011, the University of Virginia was ranked the #2 public university by U.S. News and World Report, and continues to rank in the top 25 of all national public and private universities.
Go Beyond the Classroom Walls
We believe travel enhances the process of self-discovery, leading students to learn as much about themselves as the places they visit. Every Casterbridge University Credit Series itinerary is built around a thematic curriculum that connects with all kinds of learners, so everyone will become excited about the program. Adjunct professors from the University of Virginia and other institutions have partnered with Casterbridge in the development, delivery, and assessment of our University Credit Series educational programs.
Understand Traditions, Cultures , View Points, and Global Issues
Each day on a University Credit Series educational travel program, your Tour Manager/Course Leader will facilitate activities designed to ignite a desire for change and cultivate a hope for the future. The lessons provide students with the ability to understand other traditions, cultures, viewpoints, and global issues; they position students to take an active role in our society. Samples of our educational insights will be provided for each course to give an overview of the themes and subjects that will be discussed during your travel program.
