GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES FOR FUTURE LEADERS.

GIVING STUDENTS GLOBAL IMPACT.

Global engagement is more crucial than ever for student success, but world events are increasingly unpredictable. Students and their families are taking the risk and facing the costs.

Cost per student: Acris vs. programs in global engagement

Figures and details:

Consulting with Acris = 10 hours at $70/hour (total cost: $700).

Ivy-educated AICE tutoring = 10 hours based on $8,300 per 30 hours benchmark (approximately $277/hour; total cost: $2,767).

CIEE short-term global engagement = CIEE Summer Contemporary Netherlands Studies, Amsterdam, 4 weeks, $6,550 (fees and housing).

CIEE average semester abroad = $19,850 (CIEE 2026 average for semester programs).

Note: Additional costs such as airfare, local transportation, books, visas, meals, and personal expenses are often associated with study-abroad programs and are not included in this chart.

WHAT WE DO.

Acris exists to bring "global to ground" for high school and college-age students by taking a personal stake in academic achievement and career prep through geopolitical literacy, argumentative reasoning, and formal debate.

We develop an iterative game plan based on individual goals that leads to a Model UN-style scenario. Typical sessions are one-on-one; optional conferences are in groups, working through global issues and testing ideas together. 

No previous experience is required and your first one-hour session is always free.

An education in critical thinking and global awareness should be accessible to everyone. If you are interested in learning more, get started below.
