CTA was founded in 1981 by Glen Fulton, a middle school science teacher dedicated to creating an atmosphere of exciting inquiry among his students. As the first to organize the Cape Cod student whalewatch program, the company was on its way to becoming one of America's foremost educational travel providers. Science, foreign language and class trips are now all part of the CTA menu, along with custom packages for most any curriculum and age group. One teacher may go free with every ten paid students.

CTA is the only company to employ CERTIFIED TEACHERS as our Trip Directors - one on every bus. Full security background clearance, plus at least 20 years experience working with students, set us apart from all other students tour companies. Our Trip Directors are among the most respected in their fields.

All CTA hotels are balcony-free, and our contracted bus companies are safety pre-screened for driver qualification and mechanical certification.

CTA tour participants receive two forms of our exclusive 24-hour toll-free emergency 800 number. Rarely needed but always provided, this single feature illustrates the CTA commitment to detail and our focus on the safety of your students. And for each destination city, CTA implements a Prepared Emergency Procedure Plan, reviewed at the outset of every trip with all chaperones, students and bus drivers.

The CTA quality commitment will make a world of difference in your next student tour.
