ARE YOU READY FOR

…. CURRICULUM ENRICHMENT THROUGH STUDY TOURS, ADVENTURE, DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD AND FUN.

2013?

You know your subject and we know Croatia. Together we can provide your students with unique curriculum enrichment in this remarkable eastern European country. Whether a DofE Award expedition, adventure programme, cultural or study tour - they’ll love it!

School’s Own offers ready-made or bespoke courses to support a range of subjects, including:

‘A truly memorable experience. I’ve learned not just leadership skills but also how to be an effective part of a group and how to achieve things we never thought were possible.’

Geography field study Experience a remarkable range of climates; continental, mountain, and coastal in this relatively small country. Explore its diverse topography from the foothills of the Julian Alps to the beautiful Adriatic coastline.

Croatia’s Karst offers caves, limestone pavements, collapsed caverns - and unique species in niche ecosystems.

Rich in History With human settlement dating back to prehistoric times, Croatia prepares to become the EU’s newest member in 2013.

The legacy of the Roman Empire, Ottoman invasions and Austro-Hungarian empire will thrill student historians. A study of 20th Century European conflict, central to the history curriculum, was nowhere more bloody than in the former Yugoslavia.

The Perfect Destination for your Duke of Edinburgh Award Expedition or Adventure Programme Providing lots of fun, challenge and real personal development for your students.

Whether it’s trekking through the mountains, canoeing or climbing; Croatia has it all.
