School Geography Trips

The best way to learn is through adventure!

Our international school geography trips are designed to provide you and your students with a holistic geographical experience – all elements of physical, human and environmental geography intertwined.

You’ll witness first hand some of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders… Iceland’s’ gleaming glaciers, Sicily’s magnificent Mount Etna, Morocco’s Sahara Desert or perhaps the Azores, a truly breath-taking garden of Eden.

You’ll explore the interactions between people, place and environment. And understand the contemporary geographical challenges we’re faced with today.

And through unique opportunities like visiting local communities to discover how people skilfully navigate challenging landscapes, you’ll see personal growth in abundance!

Offering a wide range of destinations, our geography field trips will take you off the beaten track and we’ll provide even more support with our specialist Field Study Tutors and award-winning study resources.
