discover the world education

We specialise in trips to a relatively small number of countries including Iceland, Italy, the Azores and China and that is why you’ll be fully supported throughout the booking process by your own dedicated Education Travel Specialist.

The Canadian government’s Global Travel Advisory to “avoid non-essential travel outside of Canada until further notice” remains in effect. All of our 2020 trips have been postponed. 2021 trip listings are posted, as we look forward to the day when we can offer a safe and satisfying travel opportunity.

Field trips are informal learning experiences that get students out into the world, exploring the world and students’ interests. Trips to museums, parks, historical sites, and more show students that learning (and life) happens outside the classroom, too. During field trips, students discover new things and learn in authentic environments, placing classroom content into new contexts. Unfortunately, for many schools and students, field trips are rare (if they happen at all). Thankfully, there are great games, apps, and websites that can bring places and experiences fostered by field trips to the classroom. While not an outright replacement, these field trip tools can offer inspiring and intriguing experiences for students.

As a result of the grant you could organise a school trip to Iceland from as little as £340 per person (based on 20 paying passengers and 2 free staff in low season for a 3 day tour).
