What educators are saying about Grand Classroom

"From start to finish, it was one great activity after another. A truly diverse and exciting trip to one of the most beautiful places in the world." -Suzi, teacher from CA

"My experience as a teacher in the past on organized group tours has been somewhat disappointing. With Grand Classroom, I did not have to worry about a thing! They were so into the experiences themselves that the energy rubbed off on the students and maximum learning occurred. Thanks, you guys are the best." -Bob, teacher from FL

"Grand Classroom was truly an awesome experience. It brought our classroom setting from school to life! The education in the field plus the friendships made with students from other schools make it an experience of a lifetime. It's what learning is all about." - Amy, teacher from MN

"I thought that this was the greatest opportunity/learning experience, that has come my way so far, and I strongly recommend this trip to everyone!" -Nicole, teacher from NC
