ACIS Educational Tours

An educational tour is a wonderful way for teachers to explore the world with their students. No matter the destination, as guardians entrusted with the safety and well-being of students overseas, educators’ reputations are on the line, which means finding a trusted travel partner that makes everything run smoothly. But knowing how to choose an educational travel company can feel daunting in a market full of options.

Every destination in this beautiful world has something to share and teach us, and through educational travel, students have the chance to discover these lessons for themselves! With educational travel tours, many itineraries often provide a direct connection to academic subjects with real-world experiences, and while every destination has a variety of things to teach, some places excel with specific academic subjects.

When traveling to Costa Rica, you’ll find plenty of beautiful places to visit, from Montezuma Beach and Rio Celeste Waterfall to the Monteverde Cloud Forest and snorkeling in Guanacaste. In the 21st century, Costa Rica has become a center for some of the world’s greatest sustainability and biodiversity practices, but it hasn’t always been like this. In the 1970s and 1980s, there was massive deforestation across the entire country.

Travelers have-long planned their itineraries centered around daytime sightseeing, but a growing trend known as Noctourism has been encouraging people to explore and experience the wonder of destinations after dark. Noctourism focuses on exploring cities, iconic landmarks, and have cultural experiences at night, which offers a fresh perspective on familiar places.

One of the biggest reasons people – especially students – travel around the world is to see the incredible architecture it has to offer. Through architecture, we can learn more deeply about the history and culture about a location and how the past shaped the present community. Architecture speaks to the people who built it and showcases their beliefs, ingenuity, fears, and ambitions; But sometimes, those stories only come to life when you look past the big Bucket List monuments.

Hi! My name is Veronica, and I am an International Program Manager at ACIS. In my role, I work with group leaders – both new and experienced – to plan educational journeys abroad. I support group leaders throughout the trip-planning process, from tailoring their itinerary and recruiting travelers to preparing groups for departure and welcoming them home. I started at ACIS on the Traveler Support team, working directly with travelers and their families.

We’re often asked about ACIS trip recruitment over summer break, and the answer is, it’s a great idea! With families in summer mode, it’s the perfect time to get their attention, so they can save the date of your upcoming trip and sign up. Do you have a communication director at your school?

So a tournament that started more than a month ago in the what now seems to be the temperate time of June has finally ended. The 2026 World Cup belongs quite rightly to Spain. The Argentinians who had surprised us all with their skillful play and, of course, the incredible Leo Messi were beaten into submission by a much better team.
