Our  Approach  to Planning Your Class  Trips

Our precise approach is inherent in all our processes so that your role in the class trip-planning is smooth, user-friendly and without any unwelcome surprises. All our underlying logistics are meticulously-planned: your transportation and accommodations are well-timed and respectful of your budget, your meals and activities are seamless, enjoyable and complimentary of your trip objectives, and our communication with you is prompt, helpful and transparent. We believe that every student tour deserves this level of service at the very least.

We also implement a personalized approach to foster lasting relationships and further enrich both your planning and student tour experience. Here’s how:

• We assign a personal Tour Consultant to every school because we believe in supporting the trip-organizer with dedicated resources. This includes a 24/7 emergency line that patches you directly to our senior staff.
  
  
• We strongly believe in hiring and training our Tour Leaders in-house because it’s the best way to provide your group with a personalized service that will bring your itinerary to life. They stay with you for the duration of your trip. They’re young, dynamic, University-educated and bilingual, if not multilingual. Our Tour Leader team is crafted to inspire your students and instill confidence and comfort in you and your chaperones.
  
  
• Having spent almost three decades in close collaboration with teachers all over North America, we believe in developing our own exclusive activities to compliment curriculum objectives and encourage student engagement. Examples include:
  
  
  • Our Spanish immersion programs in New York City and Montreal. Before Jumpstreet, few inroads had even been made for student groups to apply their Spanish and learn about immigration in North America via communities like the Lower East Side
    
    
  • Exclusive programming developed in-house by our Operations and Marketing departments, including photo scavenger hunts at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, a Media Studies workshop for the 9/11 Museum, a French-language scavenger hunt that takes place in Quebec groceries and markets, custom fact-finding missions in all our major destinations, local dance and percussion workshops for our Spanish immersion trips, ‘Green’ tourism workshops animated by our Tour Leaders, and workshops dedicated to Canadian folklore and oral history on the Beaupré Coast in Quebec City.
    
    
• We also developed a suite of helpful Trip-Planning Resources because we believe in sharing and empowering communities with student travel smarts.
