Brightspark: Simplifying Student Travel

Travel plays an essential role in the learning experience, and, at Brightspark, we are dedicated to simplifying the planning part. With help from Brightspark, thousands of student groups have experienced history, performed for millions, or enjoyed a Broadway show that once seemed out of reach.

Our passion is bringing your curriculum to life and giving your students the opportunity of a lifetime by creating educational tours specific to you and your group. We take care of all of the logistics--from flights to hotels to tickets to the theatre--suited to fit your needs by our staff of experts whose number one priority is to be with you every step of the way.

For over 100 combined years we’ve been helping students and educators learn and grow, impacting their views of the world through unforgettable journeys that spark inspiration and fuel imagination.

We’ll plan the journey--you take it.

We Plan The Trip You Want:

We customize the experience to fit YOUR needs, curriculum, interest, age group and budget.

We Make It Simple:

We handle the nitty gritty, removing the stress that comes with planning and managing a trip. From the organizing stages to the moment you return, we’re with you every step of the way.

Our Relationships Save You Money:

We have cultivated strong working relationships with airlines, hotels, festivals and venues all over the world, allowing you to get the best value for your trip.

From hotel security to 24-hour hotline support, we create a safe travel experience for your students. We also use motor coaches and hotels that have been evaluated against a checklist of safety features and amenities to ensure the well-being of the students and adults.

We Provide Medical And Liability Insurance:

The best in the industry, actually. We offer health and accident insurance, with both general and professional coverage.

Refunds Are Guaranteed:

The choice to purchase Refund Guarantee Protection (RGP) provides peace of mind for parents, students and teachers by protecting trip payments in the event of an unforeseen cancellation.

Unexpected Expenses Are On Us:

We Make Payments Easy:

Leave payment collection and tracking to us – we have it covered. We work directly with parents and groups to collect, process and report payments. And our secure 24/7 online payment system allows parents to pay for the trip directly on our easy payment plan. Plus, you can review payment status any time.
