Travel with Us

Collaborate with Putney

Putney Student Travel partners with schools and other organizations to create customized experiential education programs for student groups. Putney has been a leader in educational travel since 1951, and our team collaborates with educators to design programs that leverage our local expertise and travel experience to meet curricular goals. 

“We have collaborated with Putney on five travel programs now, and each one has been safe, well organized, and has provided my colleagues and students with a true immersion experience. The most rewarding aspect though, is to see the students return with an expanded view of their place in the world and an ongoing commitment to global understanding.”

— Cathy B., Teacher, Memorial High School, Houston, TX
