Globalize Your Classroom
Using travel as an educational platform to help students become global citizens, we inspire critical thought while exposing youth to diverse and inspiring regions of our planet.
Theme-Based Programming
Insight’s team of educators carefully craft itineraries that connect the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals with student experiences abroad. Our custom programs typically combine two to three themes, ensuring students get exposed to diverse concepts while abroad.
Community-Focused & Action-Based Learning
Our team works closely with local communities to ensure that students in our programs get an authentic experience with opportunities grounded in informed action. Students will meet inspiring change-makers and learn practical ways to support community-based projects abroad and at home.
Engaging workshops & debriefs
Each day of the program will wrap-up with a thought-provoking debrief, drawing connections between our daily activities and the program themes. As a part of our program, Insight offers in-school workshops and debriefings, both before and after the trip experience.
Personal Developement
Our itineraries are filled with hands-on activities that will help students build personal and cross-cultural skills. Activities will involve student-led inquiry that will challenge them to think critically, become more open-minded, and develop teamwork and communication skills. Our programs place a high-level of importance on intentional reflection.
OUR PROGRAM LOCATIONS
Over the last decade, Insight has brought over 600 high school and university students to the Global South. In all of our programs, students visit project sites, engage with local change-makers, question existing norms, and develop a holistic understanding of some of the challenges and opportunities present in our global society. With over 75+ partnerships with community based organizations, companies and academic institutions, Insight prioritizes local perspectives and collaboration.
We are excited to deliver a truly life changing global experience for your students.

SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY
Travelling abroad is a big step for students and their parents. Before your child’s departure we want to answer any questions you may have so that you can feel confident in our risk mitigation and safety procedures. Each year, we undergo intensive risk assessment in each of our countries that we operate in. Extensive precautions are taken to maintain the physical, emotional and mental health of each participant while travelling abroad with us.
As part of our risk mitigation strategy, all our High School programs include:
- Parent and student pre-departure preparation
- In-country orientation and daily briefings
- Experienced team of local guides and global facilitators
- Reputable hotels, bus/transit operators
- Professionally managed itineraries
- Comprehensive travel insurance
- Clear student safety rules and policies
If a medical emergency situation should arise, our in-country team and facilitators are there to support students and teachers with obtaining medical care. In developing all of our itineraries, our team will ensure that each location we visit offers access to emergency medical care.
