Jennifer E, Costa Rica Program
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!
Beth L, Germany Program
I hope we can get back to filling our lives and our student’s lives with beautiful meaningful immersive experiences again soon! Yes, culture shock is such a great thing.
Justin P, Spanish Programs
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.
Jane D, French Programs
It goes without saying that the reason for my program's success and popularity is the Xperitas partnership.
Megan O, Spanish Programs
The focus on language and personalized touch sets this program apart from the rest.
Linda H, German Programs
What I loved from the beginning is that they were as committed to my students' learning as I was.
Board Member, Jan Ditewig, grew up in a small town in Washington and was always drawn to languages.
