ELITE has partnered with CLAY CAMPS to offer unique interactive and immersive Capstone Projects. Clay camps use THREE FOCUS SKILLS to build programs around ONE CENTRAL THEME. This theme is taught through Capstone projects with leading universities and companies, full immersion camps with local English speaking students, as well as culture and university tours.

This gives students an unparalleled overseas experience, returning with certification, an admissions-worthy portfolio, and an international network of teachers and students they can utilize, helping them become a more international citizen.

Students enrolled in the Diploma Program will be eligible to attend these prestigious academic and portfolio building Capstone Projects in the U.S. The top 20 students who apply for each of the camps will be selected. Students enrolled in at least one Supplement Course may be considered for acceptance if they have an exceptional transcript and class record with iNaCA.
