Rustic Pathways Groups

The Educational Value of Travel
Rustic Pathways Groups believes that travel is an opportunity. We believe it's an opportunity to show your students the world and immerse them in international communities. We believe it's an opportunity for your students to form new perspectives and expand their creative horizons. By bringing your students out of the classroom and into the world, you are providing them with valuable first-hand experience as they formulate their idea of global citizenship. Rustic Pathways Groups is here to help you provide these life-changing experiences for your students.

Creating the Perfect Program
When it comes time to plan your perfect trip, Rustic Pathways Groups will make the process straightforward and stress-free. With a personal program coordinator to assist you in the process, you'll be able to identify a program that fits all of your requirements. In addition to having a set of established itineraries, you'll be able to sort through your options by selecting one of our six trip themes, your ideal program length, and/or your country of choice. For added variety and a personalized touch, look through our collection of itinerary modifiers, ranging from afternoon supplements to an additional five days of activity-specific travel. If your program still doesn't feel quite right, work with your program coordinator to design a fully customized itinerary.

A Holistic Approach to Travel
Rustic Pathways Groups believes that our responsibility to you, your students, and their families does not start and end within the confines of your trip. From the time you express interest in a program until well after your group has returned home, we pride ourselves in offering the most comprehensive travel options in the industry

We begin by helping you identify the perfect trip for you and your students. Next, we provide you with personalized tools to help market the program to your students and their families. Leading up to your departure, we suggest books, articles, and documentaries to help your students engage with their coming adventure. During the trip, our country directors and experienced local staff provide first-hand knowledge and expertise about current events, important issues and local ways of life. When your trip is over, we provide your students with the resources they need to stay involved in the issues or service they encountered.

On the administrative side, we are always available to students' families to answer questions they may have in regards to any aspects of the trip.
