K–12 Teachers

K-12 educational travel is most impactful when it supports your goals as an educator. We design student travel programs for middle school and high school teachers across a wide range of subject areas.
We partner with:
Teachers and Educators with teacher-led travel programs. We understand the need to customize educational tours by curriculum.

- Art Teachers can plan student art tours and history school trips
- Language teachers can plan student language immersion tours.
We also work closely with K–12 principals and administrators, department chairs, curriculum leaders, instructional coaches, arts supervisors, program coordinators, and academic clubs to design school trips that align with academic priorities, safety standards, and student development goals. From risk management to student sign-up and payments, ETA provides comprehensive student travel support so you can lead with confidence.
