Benefits & Rewards

What we provide our Traveling Teachers

We know how much work dedicated educators put into immersion travel programs and seek to make the process go as smoothly as possible. We provide you with assistance and support every step of the way.

• Necessary items like insurance already included in the base price
• A dedicated Program Manager to rely on for help with planning, recruitment and program success
• The best financial aid program for immersion travel in the industry
• "Campaign-in-a-Box" student/family recruitment materials
• Fundraising programs and ideas for independent fundraising
• Classroom and at home activities to prepare students (and families) for their trip abroad
• Support while abroad from Xperitas staff, our network of in-country partners and coordinators

Additional Benefits for Teachers While Traveling

In addition to our generous traveler benefits, teachers traveling with high school or middle school groups receive additional benefits: 

• Liability insurance for group leaders
• Teacher stipends to minimize teacher’s out-of-pocket costs during program
• Pre-travel resources to prepare students for a safe travel experience

New teachers (those traveling with us for the first time) are offered a Guide on their program at no additional charge. This offer is limited to select published programs or groups with a minimum of 24 participants. Smaller groups may be combined to reach the necessary group size. If a Guide is already included in your chosen program (min group size of six) or groups cannot be combined to reach minimum size, the teacher receives a $500 classroom grant upon program completion.

In appreciation of teachers or others who refer colleagues to Xperitas, we offer a $1,000 Referral Reward! Once the referred colleague or friend travels for the first time with six or more students, we send you the reward. Who qualifies?

• Colleagues or friends who teach a different language at your school

• Colleagues or friends who teach any language at other schools

Global Leadership Conference

All traveling leaders who meet minimum group size requirements are able to attend free of charge! 

Every year, Xperitas holds their Global Leaders Conference (GLC) in Minneapolis. The focus of the weekend is planning and preparation for their upcoming language immersion program. Teachers and leaders meet individually with their Program Manager and international partners to finalize program details. Recap of our 2023 Global Leaders Conference (GLC).

• Transportation, lodging and meals
• Keynote speaker
• Outings and other social activities
• Networking opportunities with other traveling teachers
