How to Choose the Right Destination for Your Student Tour
You’ve taken the first step and decided you’re going to lead your students on their very first educational tour overseas, but where? Our experienced tour advisors consider these factors when evaluating your options to choose the best destination and itinerary for your tour group!
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
You may have a destination already in mind if your goals include language immersion or visiting a particular site. However, Spain isn’t the only destination to consider for your Spanish class. Our Adventures in Costa Rica service tour includes a homestay with a local Spanish-speaking family as well as two community service excursions. Whether your educational goals are historical, linguistic, cultural, charitable or a combination, passports has the right tour for you and your students.
Typically, we recommend certain tours to teachers based on their area of study. These are just a few suggestions and you can browse the rest of our tours here.
