Verto Education
The Verto Education program is built on the premise that not all students need to (or should) take the same linear path to earning their college degree - that the world offers these amazing experiential education opportunities that too few take advantage of.
Better yet, Verto uniquely partners with a number of U.S. and international colleges to provide legitimate, transferable* college credits so that our programs' participants can stay on a 4-year graduation timeline.
Verto offers the only international gap year experience that partners with colleges to give full class credits so you can graduate in four years.
Once accepted into Verto, you are guaranteed acceptance into at least one of Verto’s partner schools with a reserved enrollment spot the following spring or fall.
Programs are designed to foster self-discovery through journaling, mindfulness training, mentorship, service learning programs and a homestay experience.
*Verto only partners with well-respected, fully-accredited universities and those partner schools give full credit for our programs as listed below. Attending another school? Like any college transfer, such as tranferring from a 2-year to 4-year program, credit acceptance is at the discretion of the enrolling school. We'd be happy to make some calls for you.
Our Programs
Verto Education currently offers 4 unique, "in-the-field" semester experiences covering Central America, The South Pacific and Southeast Asia as well as "on-campus" programs in Ireland, England and New Zealand.
While the locations, program focuses and individual experiences are different, the attention to detail, participant safety, education and the overall value of the experiences are not.

High schools in America were designed to give an affordable education to a huge number of students with a limited number of resources and minutes in the day. The result? Students associate learning with bells and intercoms, standardized tests, and bathroom passes...
