Expeditions are probably the best learning environment for young people.
Travelling to an entirely new part of the world pushes us outside our comfort zones, both mentally and physically. This is where the magic happens. When students are given an opportunity to shine outside of the classroom.
But don’t just take our word for it.
‘’Students, why go on expedition?’’
‘’I have become more confident and independent! Would like to do more travelling and learn about different cultures’’ Borneo Expedition
“An incredible mix of fun, cultural and adventurous activities in three weeks.” India Expedition
‘’It has made me realise how lucky I am aswell as how diverse the world is. I would love to explore more of South America.’’ Ecuador Expedition
“Travel can impact your life so directly it’s amazing. Go in with an open mind and soak up EVERYTHING! I also didn’t bring my phone and it was such a good choice.''Joni Roberts, China Educational Trip
“I’ve never had a travel experience like in Nepal. The buildings are completely different, culture is different and just every step through the city is a new experience.” Nepal Expedition
‘’It’s made me appreciate the smaller things in life and not to stress about small, unnecessary situations’’ Anna Fry, Kenya Expedition
‘’Teachers, why go on expedition?’’
‘’Queen Elizabeths enjoyed another fabulous trip with STC this year, this time to Borneo. There was a high level of personalised professional support in the organisation of the trip and the actual trip itself was a fantastic concoction of exciting and informative activities. The diving in particular was spectacular. The trekking in the mountains was eye opening and experiential and the homestay visit provided many of our students with their favourite memories. I couldn't recommend STC enough.’’ Mr Wright, Borneo Expedition
‘’We have just returned from a sensational trip to Peru with 20 13-18 year old boys. From the moment we started looking into a trip to the post trip debrief, the service has been exceptional. I have been on many school trips and can safely say that our experience with STC was outstanding. Our itinerary was a combination of local experiences combined with adventure activities and felt bespoke to our needs. All of our accommodation and food were flawless and our on-site guide was knowledgeable and caring. Whilst in Peru, STC were available to support with any queries that we had - a particular thank you to Meg who was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend this organisation and we are now in the process of planning our next trip - thank you to all at STC!’’ Miss Hoskin, Peru Expedition
‘’Exceptional communication by STC Expeditions at all times which made planning and executing our trip to Morocco even more enjoyable. No query was ever too small to address and the entire team in the STC office amazingly responsive. As a veteran running school trips for more than 20 years, I can honestly say that STC have been the best to deal with in my considerable experience. Cannot recommend highly enough. STC also seek holistic feedback in the post-trip phase and I feel confident that what little reflection I have shared is listened to and where small critiques have been raised, these suggestions will be reviewed and possibly actioned for future trips which is fantastic. Five star service - hope to work with them again on future trips!’’ Mrs Liston, Morocco Expedition
‘’Excellent experience from beginning to end in organising a school scuba diving trip to Egypt. Helpful staff, rigorous attention to detail and consideration of health and safety for all stakeholders. Thank you team STC! :)’’ Mr Foster, Egypt Trip
‘’STC have, once again, been a fantastic company to work with for our school expedition to Borneo. The UK based staff are friendly, patient and so knowledgeable and the planning process was seamless. Our expedition in Borneo was amazing and the students (and staff!) got so much from the experience and have memories which will last a lifetime. Thanks STC!’’ Miss Brown, Borneo Expedition
'’Parents, why go on expedition?’’
‘’Jake came back a different person, appreciative, more independent, ready to voice opinions and able to talk so passionately about the whole experience and the challenges they faced.
I know Jake looks back on the whole experience as a stepping stone to more travel, adventure and life changing challenges.” Mrs Wiltson, India Expedition
So to sum it all up…
Our goal is to ignite a life-long passion for adventure, a yearning for global learning and for students to be able to make educated decisions about risk-benefit and long term global sustainability. After all, we’re educating the next generation of travellers, teachers, nurses, engineers, politicians and potentially world leaders. It’s important we open their eyes to the world – the good and the bad.
