• This program offers teachers the BEST way to immediately impact a student with the least work.
• Give your students an educational opportunity to experience first-hand history, science, government, and art.
• Witness your students’ life-changing cultural development, their first time away from their family, taking a plane, sharing with roommates, budgeting souvenir money, meeting kids from other backgrounds, exhibiting etiquette and reverence at national memorials and exploring a new and exciting place.
• Upon return, witness your students’ increased grades, discipline, college interest, self-esteem and maturity.
• Our client teachers, on average, take 15 trips. Many have taken the trip 25 times or more.

• STA provides you with all promotional and registration materials- You simply hand out “Invitation Letters” to your students and/or parents. Your biggest challenge will be figuring out the best way to reach the most number of students.
