You were calm and unflappable and we felt completely in organized hands. I can’t remember one glitch the whole week. From my point of view, to spend a week so full, without having to make decisions about where to go, where to park, where to eat was incredible. I came away feeling we saw everything and also wanting to go back for more.

Make the World Your Classroom
Here at Academic Expeditions, learning goes beyond the classroom. Our curriculum-based programs bring lessons to life by taking students to important locations and landmarks in unique US destinations. Whether you’re exploring the history of our founding fathers in Philadelphia, understanding our struggle for independence in colonial Virginia and at Civil War battlefields, or learning about our nation’s multicultural past in New York, all of our academic expeditions are designed to open minds, expand perspectives, and aid classroom learning — all while having a good time!
Preparing For Your Tour
A lot goes into planning an academic school trip, especially if you’re working with large group numbers. That’s why here at Academic Expeditions, we’ve compiled a list of useful resources to help trip coordinators, teachers, parents, and students prepare for the experience. An Academic Expeditions program is a unique opportunity, and one you likely won’t forget for years to come. With the following tools, you can rest easy knowing that you’re making the most of your field trip.
Our Passion for Educational Travel is Contagious
Read What Our Clients Are Saying
The Holocaust Memorial moved me to tears. When I saw the video clips and the room filled with shoes, it appalled me that a human being could hate another race for no reason.
I wanted to say thanks for being people who see the value of nurturing the spirit of young people and showing that things are possible, with a lesson that is much more important than the trip itself.
One memorial that touched me the most was the Vietnam Memorial. After seeing all those names on the wall, it changes your life. I hope to go back there one day and leave a flower at the wall.
Meet Our Educational Leaders
Our diverse team understands the transformative power of travel, especially as a complementary educational tool. By experiencing history and culture first hand, we breathe life into the lessons learned in the classroom. That’s why our leaders are all current or experienced educators who are passionate about making learning relevant and personal. The best educational experiences are fun, engaging, and interactive — the very principles we construct our curriculum-based programs around.
As our destinations and the make-up of our travelers have diversified, we have partnered with Discovery Expeditions to better customize expeditions beyond the scope of our traditional US History destinations for student groups. Here are some examples of the types of expeditions available: International and Cultural Exposure for Students, Humanitarian and Non-Profit Expeditions, Academic Credit and Professional Development for Teachers, Family and Adult Custom Expeditions.
