Why The EdTour?
Africa won our hearts in the year 2023 with its region-wide high quality students and their willingness to study internationally. We are excited to head back to the Land of Promise and explore some new countries.
Be ready to meet students, parents, and high school counselors across Africa. Our tours offer a mix of school/university visits, and networking events with students, parents, and high school counselors. Country fairs in a couple of countries will be organized in collaboration with the U.S. Embassy and EducationUSA.
Apart from meeting quality students, a lot of fun activities are planned throughout the tour. EdTour is run by a group of foodies so make sure you come hungry and join us on a culinary journey across the African continent!
