The pitch, in a sentence

Commit your school’s travel to us, and we’ll give you back something a budget company can’t — partnership.

The Passports Exclusive School Commitment Program is built for districts and schools that want one travel partner across every program, every year. In exchange for that exclusivity, you get streamlined planning, dedicated personnel, full insurance and liability coverage, and equity scholarships that no per-trip vendor relationship can match.

What you get

Eight commitments, in writing.

Streamlined quotation process

Clear, customized travel proposals delivered fast, so administrators can decide quickly. More time on what matters — your students' learning.

Dedicated consultant pair

Each committed school gets a dedicated Tour Advisor and an Operations Liaison. Same two faces for every trip, every year.

Extra training trips

Group leaders earn additional overseas training trips — preparatory journeys that build confidence in the cultural contexts they'll lead students through.

Full overseas medical coverage

Comprehensive medical coverage for every participant. Peace of mind for parents, students, and administrators in the unlikely event of an emergency.

Full umbrella liability

An extra layer of protection for the school and district. Legal and financial exposure handled with care and full professional coverage.

Contractual clarity

The travel contract is between Passports and individual participants — not the school or district. Educational institutions stay protected; parents and students stay empowered.

Equity scholarships

Travel should be accessible to every student. Special scholarships ensure financial constraint isn't what keeps a student from going.

Recruitment reimbursement

Optional: enroll 10 participants and earn $500 toward any school expense. Every 5 paying participants thereafter, another $250. Use it for pizza at planning meetings, photo-party costs, or another scholarship.

Plus the standards

The four things every committed school also gets.

Customizable itineraries

Tailor each trip to a specific course, theme, or curricular goal.

Parent information sessions

Engaging, reassuring sessions that address every aspect of the trip.

Sustainable travel options

Eco-conscious choices as part of our commitment to responsible tourism.

24/7 support during travel

Continuous support throughout every trip, ensuring smooth, safe journeys.

Welcome scholarship

Every participant on your first tour gets $200.

Make Passports your school’s travel partner, and every traveler on your first tour with us receives a $200 welcome scholarship — applied directly to the cost of their trip. No forms, no hoops. Just a thank-you for choosing us.

Our bottom-line guarantee

We are real people trying to do something good in the world.

We’ll work tirelessly to earn your school’s trust and to be the best partner we can be while offering a valuable service to you and your community. If you have any questions, you can speak with our President, David Markle, or our Vice President, Dale Davies, who work every day with school administrators and group leaders one-on-one.
