Galapagos Islands: In Darwin's Footsteps

The Galapagos Islands offer more than just an ecological adventure. They provide the perfect setting to help students make connections between academic subjects and the world.

Envoys is proud to offer an innovative educational program that approaches learning through an inter-disciplinary pedagogical method. Through a blend of classroom instruction, interactive activities, real-life adventures, and focused reporting, students expand their knowledge in both the sciences and the humanities. They learn to connect academic subjects with the beauty of nature–all while having fun! Given the historical context of Darwin’s research, the Galapagos Islands provide the perfect context for these connections to form.

Envoys students pursue rigorous research projects as part of our trip. Students identify their project theme and research questions through a process of consultation with school leaders, academic experts, development practitioners, and business professionals.
