At Xperitas, we care about the teachers that entrust their student group travel to us. We provide additional benefits to make sure teachers are supported when taking students abroad. Xperitas also offers rewards for teachers who travel on our immersion programs and invite others to join the Xperitas family of traveling teachers.

In addition to our generous traveler benefits, teachers traveling with high school or middle school groups receive additional benefits: 

  • Liability insurance for group leaders
  • Teacher stipends to minimize teacher’s out-of-pocket costs during program

REWARDING OUR DEDICATED EDUCATORS

New Teacher Rewards

New teachers (those traveling with us for the first time) are offered a Guide on their program at no additional charge. This offer is limited to select published programs or groups with a minimum of 24 participants. Smaller groups may be combined to reach the necessary group size. If a Guide is already included in your chosen program (min group size of six) or groups cannot be combined to reach minimum size, the teacher receives a $500 classroom grant upon program completion.

Referral Rewards

In appreciation of teachers or others who refer colleagues to Xperitas, we offer a $1,000 Referral Reward! Once the referred colleague or friend travels for the first time with six or more students, we send you the reward. Who qualifies?

  • Colleagues or friends who teach a different language at your school

  • Colleagues or friends who teach any language at other schools

What Teachers Say About Our Programs

Quality

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!

Sharing

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.

Language Focused

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.

Partnership

It goes without saying that the reason for my program's success and popularity is the Xperitas partnership.
