About England: Focus on Literature School Trip Program
Immerse yourself in the rich literary heritage of England on this 7-day educational journey designed to bring classic and contemporary literature to life. Travel For Teens takes you on a guided exploration of the places that inspired some of the world's greatest authors, from William Shakespeare to J.K. Rowling, while discovering how English history and culture shaped their timeless works.
Your adventure begins in London, where you'll explore iconic landmarks including Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and the River Thames. You'll experience the city's literary and cultural treasures firsthand: take a guided tour of the Tower of London from one of the Queen's Yeoman Warder guards, visit Shakespeare's Globe Theatre on the South Bank, and ride the London Eye for panoramic views. You'll also visit the magical Harry Potter Film Studios in Leavesden, where you can walk through the Great Hall, see original costumes, enjoy butterbeer at the Butterbeer Bar, and visit Ollivander's Wand Shop—a student favorite that brings J.K. Rowling's wizarding world to life.
A highlight of your journey is a day trip to Stratford-Upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Here, local Shakespeare experts perform snippets from his works, giving you authentic insight into what life was like during the Elizabethan era. You'll visit Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare is buried, and explore this charming village that shaped the Bard's imagination. Back in London, you'll visit 221B Baker Street for fans of Sherlock Holmes and enjoy a West End theatre performance, either a classic Shakespeare play or a modern musical.
Throughout your 7 days, you'll stay in locally owned accommodation in the heart of London's city center and dine at authentic restaurants that reflect genuine British culture. Travel For Teens ensures a stress-free experience with dedicated staff, 24/7 support, and frequent photo updates shared with families back home. Teachers travel for free, and the program includes all accommodation, airfare, transportation, meals, activities, expert local guides, and a full-time trip director who travels with your group. This is an ideal program for students studying geography, history, language, and literature who want to deepen their appreciation for British culture while building lasting friendships and memories.
