Our competitive pricing also brings out-of-classroom international experiences within reach of as many students as possible.

Adrian Byrne
Deputy Headteacher, Danygraig Primary School
"I have worked with Caroline, to arrange visits for groups I have led, for nearly fifteen years. She approaches everything with good humour and is always flexible and accommodating, endeavouring to ensure a great experience for all travellers for the best possible value. I would not hesitate to recommend Connect Studies to anyone wishing to give the children in their care a rewarding and memorable residential visit."
Andrew Frost

"Connect Studies is probably my greatest discovery since I started teaching. Truly unbeatable packages at unbelievable prices! Each of the seven cross curricular visits that I have had the pleasure of being part of have undoubtedly improved engagement, raised attainment and inspired our students."
Anna Still
Subject Leader for MFL, Caroline Chisholm School
"Connect Studies have organised our MFL trips for the past eight years and we have always been impressed by the high level of personal care and attention. Caroline is always available to help and assist with queries to ensure successful trips. She has listened to our requirements so we receive a tour that is perfectly suited to our students. Our students always have an amazing experience! Thank you Caroline!"
Mike Evans
Frome Community College, Somerset
"We have used Connect Studies for the last four years to organise Frome Community College’s stays in Paris and we have always been impressed with the organisation and the level of attention paid to the detail of the visits and with the policy of inclusive pricing in the quotation from the company. It was really a pleasure to meet Caroline Brandon for the first time and it was a relief to see that all the Risk Assessments were in place already and that Connect Studies had worksheets prepared for us to use."
