Fun and learning for them, peace of mind for you

As parents and educators ourselves, we know there are many factors to consider when choosing enriching experiences for our children.  Safety, enjoyment, and meaningful education are foremost among them.  At Earth Explore, we've been crafting unique travel programs that combine these key elements since 1995.  The process begins with the selection of adult chaperones and the world's finest educational partners, and continues with the lowest student to leader ratios of any educational travel experience in the nation.  More than 90 percent of our alumni say they would travel with us again, or recommend us to friends.  That's tops in student travel.

Students can earn academic credit on all Earth Explore programs.  That makes them an outstanding springboard for academic achievement and future success.  This is reflected in the parent comments we receive each year.  Our students go forward with an enhanced understanding of real-world science and cultures, an academic "leg up", and a solid platform of confidence to achieve their goals.

Only Earth Explore offers students the opportunity to earn both high school or college level academic credit through their participation.  This amazing opportunity adds greatly to the educational experience, and reflects the quality and consistency of Earth Explore programs.   The credits earned allow Earth Explore students to stand out academically as they approach college.
