Amazing Things Happen Outside of the Classroom
Founded 25 years ago, Beyond Classrooms was created by an international team of educators who recognised the need for school travel to be designed intentionally around learning outcomes rather than tourism experiences.
Over the years, we have delivered programs for schools across Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania, continually refining our educational approach through real-world implementation and educator feedback.
All of our programs are curated around learning principles such as Kolb’s theory of experiential education, problem based learning, and game based learning theories.
Our team has a combined 100,000 hours of teaching experience. Beyond Classrooms is the ultimate solution for learning outside the classroom and school trips abroad.

Every Beyond Classrooms program is built on structured educational principles, operational accountability, and a commitment to meaningful global learning.

Real Education Outcomes

During a program in Taipei, a student reflected on the cultural differences between cities and how it broadened their perspective on people, pace of life, and community identity.
