Who:

Educational travel with a group of other globally minded students and families is a unique opportunity. Like traveling with a public or private school, solo students will be chaperoned on the tour by Homeroom Education’s dedicated faculty, but unlike school affiliated trips, families are invited to travel with their students! So, whether your student will be stretching their wings and traveling solo or the whole family is coming, this trip is bound to be the experience of a lifetime!

  • Students age 12-18 have the opportunity to join the tour as solo travelers. Solo student travelers who choose to travel without their families will be chaperoned and supervised by our faculty.
  • Students age 5-11 must travel with at least 1 family member, or guardian, above the age of 25. We kindly request that no lone adult be responsible for the supervision of more than 2 children under the age of 12.
  • Families, of all sizes, are welcome to join the tour and travel with their students. Italy is sure to be an unforgettable family vacation so mom, dad, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, family friends, EVERYONE is invited!

Please Note: All family members are welcome on the tour with their students, and there is no limit to the number of adults who can travel with each student. However, all adults traveling with a student must be approved by the student’s legal guardian.
