EdTerra's focus on quality begins with an emphasis on education methodologies and extends to every aspect of journey design. A team of Indian and international curriculum development experts, educators, subject experts and psychologists carefully design each EdTerra Edventures.

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.
