Why did CMSE move to School Tours of America and why have we’ve chosen to continue to partner with STA

By Erin Slavik and Kelly Seglem

Relationships

"STA puts people first and doesn’t just consider our school and students another number or another trip. Anyone we’ve come in contact with at STA is accessible any time we’ve ever needed anything. They listen and don’t have a 1 size fits all approach, for example, they allowed families grace and additional time during the Pandemic to add the Refund Protection Program."

Positive reputation and credibility

"STA doesn’t try to be the biggest tour company, but the best. They aren’t just a company, but rather like family and truly want to partner on behalf of our students traveling."

Customize each year’s trip to maximize the experience for our student travelers

"Partnered with us and remained flexible and adaptable to meet our needs when traveling during a Pandemic. Personal tour coordinators know our tour preferences, favorite guides, restaurants, hotels, and flight schedules."

Drivers and guides STA partners with are top notch

"STA partners with licensed, master guides that truly gives the best educational experience and value for students."

Offer unique opportunities for students/families that other “bigger” companies don’t provide

"Scholarship dollars have been awarded to past travelers made available thru STA partnerships and they offer a unique fundraising platform built into the STA student portal."
