NETC believes that the promise of Educational Travel extends far beyond sightseeing and touring. We have worked with educators and experts in contemporary teaching methods to develop an experiential approach to our programs that encourages exploration, presents intellectual challenges, and creates an empowering learning experience.

We call our approach LEAP!™ (Learning by Exploring & Actively Participating). Grounded in the widely accepted theory of multiple intelligences and the philosophy of constructivism, it challenges students on both academic and cognitive levels. NETC Tour Directors are thoroughly trained to apply these methods in the field. They use constantly varying techniques to accommodate different learning styles and create a comfortable, inclusive environment.
