Why Are We Traveling? Field trips allow students because they allow students to see how what they are learning is applied in the real world. Trips also give students an opportunity to learn outside of the classroom, which helps keep the classroom routine from getting to monotonous. A field trip is a day out, not a day off. Just because we are not in the classroom does not mean we will not be learning. This trip has been designed by our teachers with education at the forefront, not as a vacation with a few museums thrown in.

Who Is ETC? We are a professional tour operator who has been designing and executing student trips for over 32 years. Our team is made up of people from business backgrounds that help us create trips that are of high value and educational.
