Travel for credit with educational tours: Make earning high school credits an experience of a lifetime Check out our student travel programs

Travel for Credit | Educational Tours | Student Travel Programs

EduTravel for Credit provides high school students in Ontario with a safe, fun and engaging learning experience while travelling the world.

MORE THAN A CLASSROOM

Students earn transferable credits with the course content and assessments that connect directly to destinations, activities and workshops, guided tours, field studies, novels and readings.

MORE THAN A COURSE

Students gain experience in social/emotional development as they live, travel and study with peers, giving them a greater sense of independence and freedom and the ability to grow as global citizens.

Certified Teachers and Principals are hired to ensure student safety and to oversee the integrity of course instruction and assessment and to prepare students for their next level.

Programs feature extensively planned itineraries packed with both educational and recreational activities. Costs include all group excursions, ensuring everyone shares the same exciting experience.

We use a model that breaks away from the traditional classroom, giving students the opportunity to learn from new, first-hand encounters and make meaningful applications to the real world.

ALL INCLUSIVE

Each program covers all essential costs and all excursions, whether educational or leisure. We believe that each group should share the same experience.

Educational tours faq, q. what are educational tours.

Educational tours are study trips made to provide immersive learning experiences that go above and beyond the traditional classroom. At EduTravel, our tours take students to exciting destinations that elevate the learning in a particular course, offering students the chance to explore new cultures and environments, resulting in a deeper learning experience that has real-world implications – all while earning high school credits and coming away with a lifelong love of learning and travel.

Q. What are the benefits of educational tours?

In short, travel education programs lead to immersive experiential learning that stays with a student long after the trip is complete. Students gain an authentic understanding of the world on educational tours; hands-on learning encourages critical thinking and cultural awareness and often leads to a more passionate, exciting learning experience! Our tours have been built from the ground up to combine curriculum enhancement with adventure, leading to an engaging and memorable learning experience. Our educational travel programs also offer students the chance to explore the destination in their free time under the guidance of our qualified staff.

Q. What does ‘travel for credit’ mean?

Just like it sounds, it means that students get to travel the world while earning high school credits that will set them up for success and get a leg up on completing their Ontario Secondary School Diploma. These credits are universally recognized by school boards and private schools, and are a great tool to help students reach their academic goals. Think of it as a fun, exciting way to complete a high school education or add a credit to their transcript.

Q. Are student travel programs safe?

Our trips are the perfect combination of allowing students to gain a sense of independence and a taste for post-secondary life, while still being in a structured and safe environment. Safety is our number one priority. Each group is led by certified educators and follows strict safety procedures so that students are cared for at all times. Our educators and trip leaders are seasoned professionals who have often completed these trips dozens of times – you can rest easy knowing that your child is in good hands.

Q. What destinations offer trips?

You can choose from a variety of different destinations, each chosen for its combination of educational value as it relates to the course of study and excitement factor. From historical sites in Europe to beautiful vistas in South America, our student travel programs are highly curated to bring the subject matter to life and to offer something for everybody. Every destination offers students the opportunity to travel to a faraway place that has a unique connection to the subject. For instance, we offer travel education programs on biology in the Galapagos Islands, where students can see and feel exactly what Darwin experienced all those decades past.

Q. How can I enroll in a travel for credit program?

Easy – visit our website, choose from our program options, and follow the enrollment process. Our team is ready to assist with any questions you may have. See below in the FAQ for a full list of our educational travel programs.

Q. Do all student travel programs at EduTravel offer credits?

Yes! Every single one of our student travel programs offers high school credits crafted around ensuring students meet their learning objectives.

Q. How are the trips structured?

Our educational tours balance academic learning with cultural exploration. Each day includes educational activities, guided tours, cultural immersion opportunities and personal time for socializing and completing coursework.

Q. What support is provided during travel for credit tours?

During our trips, students get full support from Teachers, Teacher Assistants, Principals and Tour Directors, whether the help they need is academic, logistical, or emotional – we have amazing, caring staff members who support students throughout the trip.

Q. Is financial assistance available for Travel for Credit programs?

One of EduTravel’s core values is “total inclusiveness” which makes these programs equitable, accessible and inclusive. EduTravel offers an extensive bursary program that we run internally and offers thousands of dollars dedicated to assisting families that otherwise could not access our programs. No application that is submitted is denied funding. For a bursary application please email [email protected]

Q. Does everyone get a good grade?

It’s important to remember that this is still school – the classroom may have the Colosseum as the backdrop instead of a blackboard, but the focus of our student travel programs is education. That said, students often find it easier to excel when on our trips. Why? We’ve found over the years that the lower student-educator ratio helps make sure that every child is given the appropriate amount of attention they need to help them learn concepts at their own pace. What’s more, educators can alter their teaching strategies to better meet their students and their preferred learning styles. And here’s something we all know – when learning is fun, it’s a lot easier to retain the information you’re acquiring. Reading about Darwin’s trip through the Galapagos Islands and actually setting foot on them are vastly different experiences, and experiencing it firsthand really helps connect students to what they’re learning, creating a tangible and memorable learning experience that’s far less esoteric and far more relatable.

Q. Why choose EduTravel’s educational tours?

We are Canada’s leading Travel for Credit operator for a reason. We have issued over 12,000 credits with an immaculate track record of safety and student success! EduTravel for Credit has years of experience creating experiences that blend academic excellence with breathtaking travel experiences and total cultural immersion – all supported by a dedicated team of educators who have a passion for the subject, the location, and teaching in general!

Q. Does EduTravel offer financial assistance?

At EduTravel, we are deeply committed to making sure our programs are equitable and accessible to everyone, regardless of differing financial situations. We embrace the principle of total inclusiveness and are proud to offer a comprehensive bursary program. This is key to making our educational tours equitable and open to all, providing substantial financial support to families in need. To apply for a bursary, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Q. How can I sign up?!

A word from a recent traveller...

“ From start to finish our trip to Costa Rica was over the top amazing. Every aspect of the trip was well put together and our guide Alex was awesome! The hotels, food, activities and learning opportunities were great. Loved the white water rafting, zip lining and an opportunity to serve in the rain forest. ”

What Our Clients Say

I have been traveling with Kaleidoscope for 19 years and still continue to be impressed by their expertise and willingness to go the extra mile to make my trip a success!

Our trip was a great success! Everything was well thought out and organized. I am very pleased with the level of care that went in to our trip becoming a success. Thank you!

Kaleidoscope Adventures was incredibly easy to work with while planning our trip to Disney World. The staff was knowledgeable, quick to communicate, and patient with all of my questions while planning. Our tour director was also flexible throughout our trip as we made sure all of our students were taken care of.

Using Kaleidoscope Adventures gave us the easiest, most enjoyable trip of my career. I used to plan trips myself, but never again! All staff went above and beyond to help me and provide my students with memories that will last forever.

This was our first school trip with Kaleidoscope taking a group of 80 students and chaperones from the Washington, DC area to Nashville, TN. Every expectation was exceeded! We will DEFINITELY use Kaleidoscope again for our school trip planning!

The parents and students all had an unforgettable trip and that is much to your passion for providing the best trip possible! You have such attention to detail and were always willing to talk to me through email or on the phone even if it was the fifth time that day! I truly appreciate the time that you spent making our trip so amazing! Thank you so very much!

What an excellent trip. Everything was planned out to make a very memorable experience for my students. Linda was a wonderful tour guide. She handled all my request with professionalism and expedience. Karla knocked it out of the park with helping me set up the trip, even through a pandemic! Kaleidoscope Adventures is a top notch tour company that will do what it takes to create the best experience for you and your students.

Working with Karla and Steve it was so easy. They were helpful whenever we needed them and went out of their way to assist us whenever they could. This is our second trip with them and we will definitely be using them again! We had some change of plans due to Covid and they were so accommodating and made things so easy for our group. This is a company that knows what they’re doing and is a great group of people to work with!

The KA team is outstanding. From the moment you begin to talk with an event planner until the moment you arrive home, someone is always available to make your life easier. Our consultant, Joseph, is incredibly knowledgeable and laid out every aspect of the trip, complete with the pros and cons of every option. Once settled, our account manager, Lisa made sure every logistical hurdle was cleared and laid out concise directions for how things needed to be done. Finally, our tour director, Cameron, was always there, in person, to make sure our events ran smoothly. He constantly advocated for our group and made sure we were taken care of. I would consider our trip to be a great success had it ended there, but there is still more. Our latest trip ran into a weather issue when it came time to return home. KA was there every step of the way to exhaust every possible option to get us home.  I don’t know what I would have done if it were not for the KA team. They planned an amazing trip and didn’t stop until we were home safely. If you’re looking for a tried and true company to plan your trip, your search should start and end with KA. You will not be disappointed.

Neal, Cameron and the entire Kaleidoscope Adventures team made our trip a great experience! From the planning to the on site help, the entire trip was made easy for the directors!

Kaleidoscope Adventures continues to be the best choice I have made as an educator to plan and execute our travel needs. I just worry about the kids now and can focus on our performance and no more worries about bus,hotel, meals and shows! Thank you for serving us so well for the last 19 years!!

Kaleidoscope Adventures makes traveling with your school group as easy and enjoyable as possible! I have worked with them for many years now and they are outstanding.

Kaleidoscope Adventures is a company that I’ve collaborated with for years and I feel in my heart that education and safety are right at the top of their priority list. They tailor a trip to the specific needs and requests of the group and are patient with all of the requests of the teacher in charge. In short, they are the best!

When you get tired of working your fingers to the bone getting your trip together, give in and use the staff at Kaleidoscope Adventures. I have never been less stressed when taking a trip with middle school kids. They are top notch and are extremely thorough. I will never use anyone else.

I have been working with Joseph and the team for 10 years in 2 schools after having worked with 2 other tour companies. The professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. They are always a phone call away from solving any problem and their experience offers fresh and new approaches to established group travel traditions. I once again thank you for yet another successful tour allowing me to focus on the students and not the logistics.

Kaleidoscope Adventures takes a personal interest in each and every trip and their staff works tirelessly to make sure it’s a great experience for my students. They go above and beyond with even the smallest details. We have loved every trip we’ve taken with KA and can’t wait until the next one!

Here’s everything you need to know.

No thanks, I’m not interested!
