Verto Education

Great trip. Snorkeled, Scuba-dived , Skydived, went zip-lining, and visited many other sites. Fijian staff was phenomenal and supported our learning during all activities and times of day. Got a greater understanding of the world as a whole without learning through textbooks and enjoyed learning the whole time. Country was beautiful, water was clear, great reefs. The base house where 5-6 weeks in total is spent has lovely staff, rooms were clean and nice, and it had a pool and many games to play.

My semester in Fiji with Verto Education was the greatest adventure of my life. And I would highly recommend the program for anyone wanting to wait a little before going off to a four year college. What sets Verto in Fiji apart is the people. The staff in Fiji were some of the most incredible people I have ever met, and made me feel at home half way across the world. My classmates went from strangers to family and now I know wherever I go in the U.S. I will have friends near by. Also due yourself a favor and grog some kava.

This program was unique because of the amazing opportunity to experience Fijian culture at its roots. Being able to meet and stay with local villagers and communities was made possible by Verto. The immersion and acceptance by the Fijian community is something that has changed my life and an adventure I will forever be grateful for. The mixture of college classes and field work was a perfect match for a person who thrives in hands on learning settings such as myself. Being able to travel to multiple locations for extended amounts of time was also beneficial.

Loved getting to know the local culture. Fiji is one of the most amazing places I have ever been! If you have the opportunity to come here, do it!!! You will not regret it. I took a gap year and came on this trip before college. I really think that the values of this country and the people that I met here will have a permanent impact on me and my future! This country is also so beautiful and full of amazing places to see and things to do!!! The VERTO staff are some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything :)

I learned so much about the world and myself through my incredible time in Fiji with Verto. I had so much fun zip lining, sky diving, fire-walking, story telling, snorkeling, exploring, fishing, kayaking, taking pictures, going scuba diving and so much more! The semester was jammed packed with countless activities that peeked the interest of our group and surely students to come. The villages we visited welcomed us with open arms and we were able to learn so much about the people and their culture.
