Science-Based Student Travel Packages
Xperitas STEM Programs offer students immersive, hands-on learning experiences where science, technology, engineering, and environmental studies come to life through real-world exploration. Designed for educators seeking experiential learning beyond the classroom, these programs connect academic concepts to global environments and sustainability efforts. No prior language study is required.
Students travel on thoughtfully designed itineraries that highlight ecosystems, conservation initiatives, and scientific inquiry. From studying biodiversity in the Galápagos to participating in reforestation projects or exploring Costa Rica’s rainforests, students engage directly with the natural world while gaining a deeper understanding of environmental systems and global responsibility.

Hear From Other Teachers and Students
The partners in Costa Rica are fabulous! Everything was well-organized, and kids were always engaged. Our guide, Jimmy, truly is an educator and ambassador of his country. All of the students and leaders really enjoyed his personality, love of his country and knowledge. The Family Stay Experience was also very wonderful!
The first day, I immediately went up in a restaurant and ordered my food in full German. That confidence and encouragement from the restaurant staff set me up to feel confident in my skills and I was extremely proud of myself! Be open to new experiences. It’s a whole new culture and way of life, so if you seclude yourself from really cool opportunities, you won’t get as much out of everything!
Immersing students in the language and culture are keys to a successful trip overseas with students, and I can always count on our in-country Xperitas guides to communicate exclusively in the target language with our students while showing them a new culture.
It was really amazing. I got to hang out with my friends and classmates while touring Berlin and then I got to experience German life with my host family. Spending time with my classmates from America in the German school also made it more fun, since I could still hangout with friends and make new ones in a different language. I saw beautiful sights and ate wonderful food and got to see a sliver of German life and a little bit of the world too.
