Our Approach

Big Lessons

We carefully curate activities at each destination to build itineraries which achieve three core objectives: Travel Skills, Language Development, Cultural Experience.
Navigation
Travel Skills Language Development
Experienced independent travelers know that fast trains and regional jets are the best way to move between cities, suburban rail and bus systems provide easy access to nearby villages, metro systems save time exploring large cities, and walking is the best way to experience local neighbourhoods.
We encourage students to take turns navigating the group through regional airports and train stations, collaborate to determine the metro routes, and enjoy exploring streets with a good old fashioned map.
Dining
Language Development Cultural Experience Travel Skills
Every evening we provide a generous stipend to each student, advise them on local dishes and recommend lively streets and plazas where they can people watch and enjoy a great meal.
We then encourage the students to choose a restaurant together and decide whose turn it is to ask for seating, menus, and seperate bills.
Once seated, the students order their own meals from the full menu before requesting their bill and paying for their meal.
Performance Arts
Cultural Experience Language Development
Flamenco in Andalucia, Gregorian Chants in Paris, Traditional Music in Ireland, Salsa in Puerto Rico, or Opera in China.
We show students that there's more to culture than museums, paintings and sculpture.
Instruction
Cultural Experience Language Development
Swordmaking in Toledo, Gladiator School in Rome, Pottery making in Costa Rica, Umbrella Painting in China, Olive Oil in Andalucia, Artillary training in Quebec, and church bell ringing in Dublin.
There's no better way to engage students and bring culture alive than an interactive group activity.
  • Just got back from Italy (Rome and Florence) a couple of weeks ago with Peter Schmidt of SLT. What an amazing trip it was!

  • I am a huge advocate of Students Love Travel! Within the past year, I have booked two trips with this company, to two very different places, with fantastic results for each.The first trip was a 10 Day excursion to France with stops in Paris, Bayeux, Mont St. Michel, and St. Malo. while the second was a 5 Day trip to Montreal and Quebec.What Students Love Travel does exceptionally well is that they individualize nearly every experience for the student. Whether it is a cathedral, battlefield, or museum; tour guides for each specific site are provided ... See More

  • I chose Students Love Travel for our trip to France this year because my colleague had such a great experience with them last year on her trip to Germany. I was really excited about the itinerary that we chose (Paris, Nîmes and the Côte d'Azur) because it included places I knew as well as some places new to me. Our program director, Rob Delorie, was extremely knowledgeable...See More
