EdTerra is a first-of-its-kind initiative in India started in the year 2009, that utilises the medium of a fun journey to incorporate curriculum-based learning and inculcate important life skills and values in students. It uses innovative proprietary knowledge materials, interactive exercises, experiments and immersive techniques to make every instance of a student’s journey a door to broader horizons.

Students on EdTerra journeys have the opportunity to produce professional-quality media outputs (magazines, books, video documentaries, etc.) using their own talents along with expert EdTerra staff guidance. This will then be something they can enjoy sharing with their family and friends, and that schools may wish to share as well.

Underpinning each EdTerra Edventure is the concern to address student safety at all levels. Our journey designs can also be carefully modified to cater to Creativity, Action, Service (CAS). Being an ISO 9001: 2014 company, EdTerra complies with globally accepted standards for efficient processes, including rigorous safety standards.
