Are your school trips making
a real difference?
Most trips create photos and memories. But do they create lasting change? Find out in 5 minutes.
Free. 5 minutes. No sales pitch. Honest results.
20 questions across 5 dimensions. Your results are delivered instantly.
When was the last time you measured what your school trip actually accomplished — for the community, not just your students?
It is a question most schools have never asked. Not because they do not care — but because no one has given them the tools to answer it honestly.
The Impact Scorecard is a free self-assessment that scores your current school trip programme across the 5 dimensions that separate meaningful travel from educational tourism.
5 dimensions. 20 questions. One honest score.
The scorecard evaluates your current school trip programme across the areas that matter most for genuine social impact.
Trip Structure & Design
Is your trip built around community needs or student itineraries? We assess whether the programme design puts lasting outcomes first.
Student Learning Outcomes
Are students gaining real skills and perspective shifts — or just checking a box? We measure depth of engagement, not hours logged.
Community Relationships
Are local people partners or props? This dimension evaluates whether communities have genuine agency in how your trip operates.
Measurable Impact
Can you point to specific, tangible outcomes that persist after students leave? We look at what the data actually says.
Ethics & Accountability
Where does the money go? Who benefits most? This dimension holds the mirror up to power dynamics and financial transparency.

The gap between your trip brochure and your trip reality
We run year-round programmes in Kenya. We have seen what works — and what does not.
Kapes Adventures operates feeding programmes, water access initiatives, and conservation projects across Kenya 365 days a year. We built the Impact Scorecard because we believe every school deserves the tools to evaluate whether their trips are creating real change.
This is not about proving we are better. It is about giving you the mirror to decide for yourself. The best schools are already asking these questions. The question is whether you are asking them too.
Questions about the scorecard
Is the scorecard really free?
Yes, completely free. No credit card, no hidden fees. We built this as a resource for schools who want honest answers about their trip programmes.
How long does it take?
About 5 minutes. There are 20 multiple-choice questions across 5 dimensions. Most people finish in under 5 minutes.
What do you do with my data?
Your responses are used solely to generate your score and personalised recommendations. We do not sell your data or share it with third parties. You can read our full privacy policy for details.
Who should take the scorecard?
Any educator, head of year, or school leader involved in planning or approving school trips. It is especially useful for trip coordinators, heads of global citizenship, and senior leadership teams evaluating their programmes.
Will this try to sell me a Kapes trip?
No. The scorecard scores your current trips — it does not pitch ours. Your results include practical recommendations you can implement regardless of who operates your trips. If you want to learn about our programmes afterward, that option is there, but there is no sales pitch baked into the assessment.
What if we score poorly?
Most schools land in "Room to Grow" territory — and that is perfectly normal. The scorecard is designed to be challenging because the standard for genuine social impact is high. A lower score is not a failure; it is a starting point for improvement.
