Excellence in Education: PISA Results
Estonia consistently ranks at the top in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Estonian 15-year-olds excel in mathematics, science, and reading, placing them among the top performers globally and in Europe. The success is attributed to the professional skills of Estonian teachers and their equal attention to all students. Estonian students also report high life satisfaction and possess a growth mindset, believing in their ability to improve intelligence and future prospects.

Student mobility
Welcome to VisitEDUestonia, your gateway to authentic Estonian education experiences. We curate diverse programs that immerse student groups in our world-renowned education system and explore our rich culture. Join us for unique experiences, from classroom interactions to cultural excursions, fostering intercultural competence and inspiring young minds!
VisitEDUestonia takes immense pride in hosting rich and diverse visit programs, meticulously designed to engage student groups in a multitude of inspiring experiences. Our study tours do more than just offer a glimpse into the revered Estonian education system; they immerse you in it, presenting an authentic opportunity to learn as the Estonians do.
You can choose to spend a few hours in an Estonian classroom, wander through different schools, or dive deep into the academic world by investing more time in one school during a student mobility, developing bonds with Estonian students, and gaining a profound understanding of Estonian school culture. Student mobility is a more streamlined program, simply attending classes at Estonian schools as though you were an Estonian pupil yourself. This experience is not just about enhancing your intercultural competencies but also about fostering group spirit, creating lifelong memories together, and stirring inspiration in young minds.
Moreover, it is vital to recognize that our educational journey extends beyond the four walls of a classroom. To truly comprehend the essence of Estonian education and draw meaningful comparisons with your own system, an exploration of Estonian culture is an indispensable element of our program. Hence, our itinerary often includes cultural visits, ranging from vibrant city center walks and exhilarating tours, to tranquil ferry trips to historic sites or relishing a traditional Estonian dinner at a charming local restaurant.
As a special enhancement to our offering, we’ve included delightful excursions like berry picking in Estonia’s pristine forests, ice skating in picturesque locations, and insightful university visits, allowing high school students to collect valuable information about higher education opportunities.
Each program is thoughtfully curated, aligning with the age and learning objectives of the participants, always considering our collaboration with Estonian schools to ensure an enriching experience. We understand the nuances of student mobilities and can assist in establishing official sister school agreements with our extensive network of more than one hundred schools in Estonia. Our sister school program includes getting a contract with an Estonian school and facilitating later exchange trips. Even if your preferred time to visit is the summer when our schools are typically closed, we’ve ensured that the doors of learning remain open with our summer school program.
Embark on this transformative journey with us and gain an in-depth understanding of Estonian education and culture, all while building beautiful memories and friendships that will last a lifetime!
