what’s included
More than a trip abroad
When EF is your partner, educational travel is about way more than the days you’re away. You and your students embark on a learning journey that begins the moment you sign up, and it continues long after you return home. At the same time, we’re experts at tour planning and handling travel logistics, so you don’t have to sweat the small (or significant) stuff at any point during the process.
Before you go
There’s so much learning that happens while students get ready for the journey ahead, like exploring how to be a world traveler and preparing to be immersed in new cultures.
During your tour
Every EF tour is enhanced with a curriculum of immersive, hands-on learning designed to help travelers develop essential skills that will better prepare them for their futures.
After you return
Students reflect on their growth—and can even earn high school or college credit. Then travelers continue to apply what they’ve learned, creating lasting impact in their own lives and communities.
