Educational Discovery Tours, or EDT, has been a provider of educational student travel for over 42 years, helping educators plan school trips and travel programs for students. EDT works with teachers to build an educational student travel experience that supports your teaching agenda.  If your goal is for your students to learn the history of a city or country firsthand, perform live with their ensemble, or celebrate their graduation at your students’ dream destination, EDT will take care of all the details to make it happen. Check out the various types of student travel programs and begin planning your dream trip today!

There are several benefits to planning early for your educational tour, one of the most important being affordability. Oftentimes, hotels and activities offer discounted rates to groups that book well in advance of their selected trip dates; traveling during low-peak periods can also lower package pricing for groups. Beyond actual pricing, families take advantage of a longer payment schedule with lower monthly payments.

EDT will work with you to help clarify and understand your goals, and then create a matching itinerary to enrich those lessons learned in the classroom.
