Global Classroom

We believe that learning never ends and some of our most memorial moments happen when we are out exploring the world.

Where will YOU go?

Experienced educators offer domestic and international trips as well as exchange programs throughout the year to students and community members.

We post trips 2 or more years in advance and encourage travelers to enroll early so they are guaranteed the lowest program fee and an affordable monthly payment plan. Long term planning also gives travelers time to fund-raise and look forward to the adventures ahead.

Space is limited on our trips, which often fill to capacity, causing travelers to be wait-listed and sometimes even turned away, so start planning now.

The Global Classroom Krewe offers community tours in partnership with EF Educational Tours, as well as exchange programs in partnership with Benjamin Franklin High School.

International

Student-centered tours include high activity levels, budget-friendly hotels and accommodations, service project opportunities and high school/college credit opportunities.

Berlin, Prague, Krakow, and Budapest

June 2027

Travel through the Iron Curtain and World War II to Gothic cathedrals and ancient cities that are now more vibrant than ever. Berlin mixes historical significance, rich culture and an exciting cosmopolitan energy. Prague, which escaped the bombs of World War II, woos you with old-world charm. And in Kraków and Budapest, two of Europe’s most underrated cities, architectural gems await around every corner.

England, France, Switzerland, and Italy

July 2027

From England to Italy, go in depth with some of Europe’s most loved cities. Witness London’s royal tradition outside Buckingham Palace. Experience Paris’s artistic heritage at the Louvre. Marvel at the grandeur of the Swiss Alps. And learn how Italy transformed the world two times: Florence produced the Renaissance, and Rome was the center of an empire.

Exchange Programs

A high school exchange program allows students to live and study in another country while immersing themselves in a new culture, language, and education system. Through daily life with host families and local schools, students build global awareness, independence, and cross-cultural communication skills. These experiences foster personal growth and prepare students to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.

Be on the lookout for upcoming exchange programs.
