VACATIONS WITH A PURPOSE!
Taylor’s Global Educational Tours (T-GET) focus is to provide experiential learning by being immersed in the culture and surroundings while involving communication skills of speaking and writing. Imagine having fun learning about history, geography, ecology, and government, and improving your education at the same time!
Every day of the tour has a theme (it sometimes spans more than one day) and an assignment, some are about conversation and some are writing. Participants are required to keep a journal daily and write about their experiences which not only provides a record of what they did, but it is also adds to their education in writing when the teacher reviews it, adding comments in a positive helpful manner to improve their communications. The daily themes are described on each tour page.

AND MORE...
This is a two-week trip, as 3 days are relegated to travel (one day is lost going, but is gained on the return). Of the remaining 11 days, some of the above activities may span more than one day, yet everyday is an adventure and something new is learned!
Participants return with a notebook filled with writing examples, brochures, pictures, and most of all, an appreciation for the world at large with an advantage for academic improvement.
