Earn credit
Our high school credit program As the only international travel organization to be accredited by the Commission on Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA), the Middle States Commission on Elementary Schools (MSCES), and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, EF offers girls the unique opportunity to earn credit while traveling abroad.
In order to earn credit, girls are required to prepare for their trip by reading several fiction and non-fiction sources and completing pre-trip coursework in travel journals. On tour, girls must fulfill a photo assignment and several standards-correlated travel journal assignments. Upon returning, girls are required to write essays on the books they read, answer reflective questions associated with their trip experience, and complete two thematic essays. In total, the credit program requires at least 100 hours of coursework, which equals the equivalent of one semester’s work.
