"Travel in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience."- Francis Bacon

MBS International School strives to take learning beyond classroom. Thereby to promote the holistic development of the children, the school organised an Educational Excursion to ISKCON Temple, Dwarka for the students of Nursery and Kindergarten on Wednesday, 18 October 2023. The students were familiarized with the concept of neighborhood places and spent their time in the calm and serene environs of the temple. They were encouraged to sing and dance on the chants of ‘Hare Krishna Hare Rama’ followed by the ‘Gallery Walk’ where pictures from various Iskcon temples and Lord Krishna’s life were displayed. Delicious prasad was also served which was relished by the young devotees. The visit was highly appreciated and enjoyed by our little ones and is an apt example of learning beyond the classrooms.

How to Choose the Right Student Travel Agency for Your Next School Trip

More goes into planning educational student tours other than deciding where to go. You have to consider the logistics, the educational value as well as the safety of the students. There are many travel companies  today that can take the burden off your back. How do you go about choosing the best? The steps below should help you with that.

Evaluate the Company’s Experience and Track Record  

The choice of travel agency for students has to be done with much care. Make sure you work with agencies that focus on educational trips, especially if they have been in the industry for years and have built a reputation. For instance, older agencies would, most likely, have more contacts in dealing with buses, hotels, and tour guides, allowing everything to flow smoothly.

What to Check:  

Time in school trip organization- Have they been in this field for a particular duration?  

Type of schools and trips they have dealt with- It is crucial to check the kind of schools and excursions handled.  

Reviews or testimonials from professionals- You may check the internet for personal accounts from instructors to gauge the agency’s efficiency.  

The Company Should Prioritize Safety and Security  

A school trip should always be safe, and the agency should prioritize this. A qualified agency deals with risk assessment, danger plans, and has clear protocols for students. To add on that, they should be able to assign members of staff with the travelers plus give options for insurance.

Essential Inquiries:  

What protocols have been put in place?  

Is the personnel capable of providing first aid during an emergency?  

Are there any travel insurance policies available?  

Search for Customization and Flexibility  

No two school trips are the same; some are educational, some are recreational, and some are cultural. Select an agency that can tailor the lesson plans to fit your objectives, budget, and the age of the students you plan to take. A true partner in domestic educational tours will want to understand what you are hoping to achieve and create a proposal that is not rigid.  

What to Expect:  

Selection of locations and themes (history, science, arts, etc.)    

Ability to change arrangements for food, accommodation, and transportation  

Inclusion of specific learning outcomes and contributions from the teachers  

Check for Educational Value  

The organizers of the best educational tours for students should go beyond itinerary planning and reservations. Look for one that offers tours, museum-guided tours, cultural exchange programs, or language immersion classes to be incorporated into the itinerary.

Indicators of Learning Potential:  

Educational field trips that have strong curriculum links   

Active and stimulating lessons  

Trained educators assigned to the trip  

Comprehend the Costs  

Clear pricing without hidden fees is very important. It is wise to request a clearer breakdown of the provided services to check for undisclosed charges. Inclusions must be clarified ike meals, entrance, transport, and guide fees, to mention a few.  

What Needs Further Clarification:  

Are all possible additional expenses labelled clearly?  

Is there a graphic that clearly marks extras from main inclusions?  

Are there penalties for removals or modifications of the booking?  

Analyze the provided assistance

Consistent and reliable communication during and before the trip is very important. This helps in determining whether or not the agency is reputable. There has to be prompt support, proper documentation, and follow ups done on a regular basis and round-the-clock support in case of emergencies.  

Look for:  

A trip manager will be available throughout the entire trip  

Guidance and briefing for parents and students before the trip  

Offered post-trip support contacts  

Seek Other Schools’ Feedback 

Last but not least, make sure to ask other schools who have previously worked with the agency for references. Reviews and comments from both native and overseas students are a valuable resource for honing at what to expect. Teacher comments and reviews, posted testimonies and even academic guides speaking with other educators can provide reliable aid in making choices and decisions.

Conclusion  

It takes the right student travel company to strike a balance between safety, education, enjoyment and organization. Prioritize agencies that take your trip as more than a business deal. Do your research and ask the right questions. With the right partner, your school trip has the potential to be enjoyable and transformational for your students.  Looking for an educational travel company for the next school tour?
