Top destination facts

Your students will be immersed in one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. The USA is a 'melting pot' of culture. In addition to Native Americans who were already living on the continent, the population of the United States was built on immigration from other countries. American culture has a number of expressions and has been influenced by African, Native American, Asian, Polynesian and Latin American people. As a result, you will find many social subcultures in different parts of the United States.

At the federal level, the United States has no official language, however English is considered de facto national language. Unsurprisingly, given its vast diversity of cultures, over 300 languages are spoken. Sadly, most languages native to the U.S territory have now become extinct. Surviving native language is threatened by mainstream culture.

Students will love working their way through the unique blend of cuisine in the USA. Due to its vast size, the cuisine depends largely on geographic location. For example, in the state of Louisiana, their cooking is known for its use of cajun spice. American food however commonly uses ingredients such as turkey, corn and maple syrup.

Educational Student Experiences in the USA.

Offering a rich plethora of academic experiences, the USA is an ideal destination for your school trip abroad. Experience rich culture, visit iconic landmarks and participate in technology workshops at NASA. As a trip destination, the USA cannot be beaten.

On a school trip to the USA, you can expect: 

• A focus on your student’s educational requirements.
• Professional and dedicated educational providers.
• School trip packages tailored to suit your schools budget, time frame, and objectives.

A school trip to the USA could mean studying robotics at NASA or participating in drama and music workshops on Broadway in New York. With stunning landscapes such as the Grand Canyon and Yosemite national park; to the world-famous cities of New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, the USA is a country full of contrasts and it offers something to meet every learning outcome.

Take your students on an educational tour through the United States of America, with learning opportunities in STEM, geography, history and politics, and the arts.

Spark your students’ creative flair as you explore the world of high-tech innovation at Stanford University, Silicon Valley and NASA. Watch as your students are inspired on a history-fueled music trip through America’s deep south, where they will discover the beginnings of jazz and rock and roll.

"As a result of this trip, we have three students considering picking up mechanical engineering at university, and a host of students considering STEM-related A-Levels. An action-packed, awe-inspiring week away. I can't wait to go back next year!"

Amazing Experience with Dedicated Guide

"Hi Nancy, We arrived safely in HCMC, and our trip is almost through. I got your package once we arrived here–thanks so much for sending the shirt and especially the artwork. I have not looked at it yet–I will keep it packed until I get back to the states. I appreciate your friendship and kindness, and I know that the cadets appreciated your help throughout our trip. Thanks for being a great friend–the same goes for everyone at Educational School Trip."

Thank you a lot, Educational School Trip!

"My three colleagues and I took our KS3 students to Vietnam for 9 days from Manila, the Philippines in June. Nancy was extremely helpful and went above and beyond when we had a couple of problems at check-in. She was available all the way up to the trip via email and helped us with any queries we had. We strongly recommend Educational School Tours for a school group; the students had a fantastic time and we felt well-looked after by our knowledgeable tour guide. Everything was well-planned and safe. An excellent educational school tour company."

Awsome Experience Ever for My Students!

"Excellent service from Tracey who worked with us to set up the tour, check on us during the trip and follow up afterward to see if our students were happy. Our guides in Cambodia and Vietnam were superb as they always show their passion and humor for our children. We especially enjoyed the trip to the Angkor complex where our guide taught us so much interesting knowledge about it. We were also excited to explore the Cai Be Floating Market in Mekong Delta and a trip to the traditional village along the river. It was so much fun and we had a chance to witness the hustle and bustle trading and engage with the friendly locals."

Importance of Educational Excursion for Students

• What are educational excursions?
• Significance and importance of excursions for students

Educational excursions or tours are short trips by students, under the supervision of the school management. Students are taken to a place away from their usual routine environment.

The main aim of education is to impart knowledge. Imparting knowledge through a hands-on experience is one of the ways of making learning more interesting.

There are different methods through which schools and colleges try to deliver academic concepts. One of the most effective methods is by conducting educational tours.

Schools nowadays have made educational tours a part of their curriculum thereby making studying fascinating and engrossing.

The importance of educational excursions in schools is manifold. Here we have jotted down a comprehensive list of the benefits of school excursions. Though the list is not exhaustive, the key advantages are listed below.

Importance of Excursions for Students

1. practical knowledge is better than bookish knowledge.

According to a research article conducted and published in the US National Library of Medicine , National Institutes of Health, about 65% of students prefer visual learning aids.

These learners prefer to see how to do things rather than just talk about them. They prefer to watch demonstrations rather than sit through a lecture.

True to the famous phrase ‘seeing is believing’, your perspective changes when you see something in person.

For example, learning about a historical monument by actually visiting the site gives you a better insight than reading about it through text.

Educational excursions help students to grasp concepts through visual learning.

2. Stress Buster

Students are confined to the four walls of a classroom for most of their day. The drudgery and the monotony of the four walls can lead to a stressful learning experience .

However, educational trips organised by schools serve as a miracle stress buster. The very announcement of a school excursion gets students excited and enlivened.

Educational trips relax students who are otherwise anxious in a competitive classroom environment. It serves as a break from the normal routine of a usual day in school.

3. Builds Corporate Attitude

Educational tours build corporate attitudes amongst the students. Students taken on tours to corporate offices and industries will be exposed to the current employees in the sector.

This kind of exposure introduces them to the actions, conduct and practices of the employees.

Usually, these practices are formal and official which is a stark contrast to the informal behaviour and mannerisms of a college student.

Being exposed to the corporate attitude can give students an insight into the corporate attitude which they may have to adopt in the future.

4. Interactive Sessions

One of the main benefits of school excursions is the interactive sessions during these trips. Such field trips allow students to freely interact with friends, teachers, and others.

Educational excursions usually involve the interaction of a third person who is not a teacher or not part of the school management. This gives students a bit of liberty to interact with these new contacts.

For example, a trip to a science centre or a museum involves the interaction of students with the curator or guide of the museum.

5. Discipline

Teachers often expect the students to be on their best behaviour when on a field trip. Students follow these instructions well, as they are aware that their behaviour will reflect on their school.

So educational trips indirectly teach students discipline and control.

6. Added Information

Visiting a site often results in the transfer of new information. At times, certain data is not included in a textbook. Such omitted data can be directly gained from the excursion venue.

Further, experts can add more valuable and practical information to students during live interactive sessions.

For example, a doctor or hospital manager can explain a concept missing from the textbook during an educational trip to the local hospital.

A sales representative can elucidate details on sales invoices during an educational excursion to the supermarket.

It helps to get more exposure to any topic. Apart from textbook information, educational tours can add more exposure to any subject. It dives deeper into the topic than what is taught inside the classrooms.

7. Academic Augmentation

One of the importance of Educational excursions is the boost it gives to concepts learned in the classroom. A teacher can reinforce basic concepts by arranging an excursion to the topic related site.

For example, management students learning about human resources and employee management can be taken on an excursion to a factory or a company.

This gives students an enhanced learning experience on how resources are managed in factories and companies.

This also improves academic performance of students. A student exposed to educational tours has more practical knowledge .

Being able to transfer this practical knowledge on to paper during examinations can give you a better chance of scoring higher grades.

Students not exposed to excursions and educational tours will have only bookish knowledge and may just simply try to reproduce what the text book claims.

8. Opportunity

Educational excursions organised by schools allow students to travel to these new sites. It also provides the less fortunate students an opportunity to travel to these places without incurring much expenses.

9. Knowledge Organisation Is Better in A Naturalistic Learning Experience

Research conducted and published in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology concluded that the organization of knowledge is crucially important for many cognitive processes.

The current study investigated whether naturalistic learning experiences can drive rapid measurable changes in children.

An investigation on the effects of a week-long zoo summer camp (compared with a control school-based camp) on the degree to which 4- to 9-year-old children’s knowledge about animals was organized.

These findings provide novel evidence that naturalistic experiences can drive rapid changes in knowledge organization.

10. More Memory Power Through Hands-On Experiences

Seeing, touching, and live experience of an academic concept enhances memory power.

According to the findings published in Psychological Science , a journal of the Association of Psychological Science, exploring objects through touch can generate detailed, durable memories for those objects.

11. Better Perspective

Travelling often involves new situations, new people, and new adventures. Some educational excursions are organised to a different state or country.

Such excursions introduce students to a whole new world. A world they might not have seen or encountered.

Therefore, field trips enhance students’ outlook and help them to gain a fresh perspective of the world around them.

12. Educational Excursions Make Students Curious

One of the benefits of excursions is that these educational trips make students curious and thirsty for more knowledge on the topic.

Students are eager to learn and see what they have learned in the classroom through textbooks.

13. A Fun Time with Friends

Excursions are a fun-filled time with classmates and peers. Students enjoy interacting with friends outside of the school campus. It increases the bond between classmates and allows them to interact freely with each other.

14. A Unique Learning Environment

Educational excursions provide a unique and informal way of learning. It provides a break from the usual desk and chair learning method.

Excursions to open spaces like zoos and botanical gardens and parks provide a natural learning environment . Such natural surroundings provide a casual and relaxed method of studying.

15. Opens a Window of Opportunity

Another importance of excursions for students is that this exposure opens up a window of opportunity when it comes to careers and choices.

During interactive sessions on educational excursions, students talk to different people from varied fields. In classrooms, student’s knowledge of the outside world is limited. This also helps in improving the art of communication in students.

Excursions introduce students to other professions other than the ones introduced behind closed doors of a classroom.

16. Two-Step Learning Process

One of the importance of excursions in schools is that it involves a beneficial two-step process.

Step 1: It is the first step where teachers usually research on the excursion site before taking students. Teachers prepare themselves well to supplement the practical knowledge with facts, figures, and additional information on the place of visit.

Step 2: It involves the knowledge enhancement for students in terms of the feel and live experience of education. These trips contribute to better academic performances for students.

Therefore, educational excursion benefits both teachers and students, making them more adaptable to new learning methods . This in turn enhances the popularity of the school.

Including educational excursions and trips in schools has become part of the curriculum in many parts of the country.

Due to the innumerable benefits of educational excursions, the modern educational system has included excursions and trips as part of the school curriculum in many parts of the country.

Students are given a hands-on learning experience on these trips, thereby providing a holistic approach to education.

The time has now come to include educational tours and excursions in the curriculum. Modern industries today warrant the need for educational institutions to compulsorily include excursions in the syllabus.

This practical exposure encourages students to perform better and score higher grades. It provides an all round development of students which is the main aim of today’s education.

Including educational excursions in the curriculum will guarantee a holistic approach for students.

Education department should learn from drowning incident: Chiloane

Mec says all school trips need to be sanctioned by the department.

The Gauteng education department needs to strengthen its school excursion regulations in light of the recent drowning of two pupils in Centurion, education MEC Matome Chiloane said on Wednesday.  

Chiloane said this at the funeral service of Siphamandla Peterson, 15, and Sibusiso Sibiya, 17, in Thembisa. The pupils from Daveyton Skill School drowned while they were attending a disciplinary camp held by NGO Rising Stars Generation last week.  

“What we should do is strengthen the protocol. If a school knows they are going to a place where there is water or a swimming pool, there needs to be a particular ratio ... one educator, one night guard per 10 children ... so that an educator knows 24/7 (where the children are),” Chiloane said.  

He said the regulations were already there, but some people were not adhering to them. He also said all school trips need to be sanctioned by the department.

“There is no such thing as a disciplinary camp. The disciplining of a child is the responsibility of the family. Our job is to teach children. It is not our responsibility to discipline.

“Corporal punishment was banished. It is the job of a school to teach, develop and enhance the talent of a child,” Chiloane said.  

Chiloane apologised for what happened.

“This is not the time to defend ourselves. As the leader of the department I should take accountability. The best way to demonstrate that we have learnt is what we do in future. We have a responsibility to make sure that we learn from what happened to our children.”  

He said since the drowning, much had happened.  

“We have appointed a (law) firm to investigate. They are bringing an independent view because we know workers change stories and protect themselves. To avoid that we are bringing people from outside who cannot be contaminated by the politics in the department but to do their work ethically with integrity and honesty.”  

  He said the deceased would never be forgotten.

  “These children will always be a reminder of what we should do right.”
