The Organizer is the person with whom we communicate about the program. This person is often a teacher or school administrator, but can also be another school staff person or a volunteer parent.

The Organizer works with us in deciding which program will be offered, the dates of the program, etc. The Organizer also appoints chaperones. These chaperones can be teachers, school staff, or parents. Each chaperone is typically responsible for a certain number of students. Organizers promote the trip using suggestions and tools provided by Students on Tour. While on location, the Organizer helps with decisions if and when they need to be made and, of course, aids in supervision and discipline.

Students on Tour manages the money. Our accounting department works directly with each family.

Students on Tour and its sister company use a client trust account administered by an independent firm of Certified Public Accountants for the protection of your money. Other student tour providers have trust accounts to be sure, but they are self-administered. In other words, the tour provider can access your money; Students on Tour does not. All monies are held in a CPA administered trust fund, other than the deposit. Funds are only released for your program expenses when due. Any additional monies are released at the conclusion of your program. Your money is safely in the hands of the independent CPAs who pay the bills and only pay Students on Tour after your trip is over.

During the program, our Education Program Leaders (EPL) are with your group 24 hours a day from the time you arrive on location until you are on your way home. The EPL takes care of all arrangements, provides teaching throughout the program, and in general runs the trip.

We provide through-the-night hall security guards who will watch over your group at the hotel(s).
