CSLI Tours: Educational Adventures That Open Minds and Inspire Curiosity
Since 1997, CSLI Tours has been proudly providing Canadian high schools with unforgettable overseas programs focused on language, art, and history. Our goal is simple: to create safe, enriching, and life-changing travel experiences that bring education to life beyond the classroom. Whether students are wandering the cobblestone streets of Spain, exploring ancient ruins in Italy, or learning the nuances of French culture in the heart of Paris, every CSLI trip is crafted to spark curiosity and deepen understanding of the world.
We believe that educational travel should be meaningful, affordable, and worry-free. That’s why we work closely with teachers from day one to design a tour that fits their group’s specific goals, interests, and curriculum needs. Our experienced and friendly team is available to support trip planning from start to finish; every CSLI tour is backed by real people who care deeply about quality, safety, and student learning.
Each trip includes a CSLI Tour Director who travels with the group and is available 24/7 throughout the entire journey. Their job is to keep the tour running smoothly, support students and teachers, and handle any emergencies on the spot, in person. We know that peace of mind is essential when young people are traveling abroad, and our directors are there to provide exactly that.
What sets us apart? Our students don’t just visit—they live the culture
Cultural immersion is at the heart of what we do. On many of our tours, students have the unique opportunity to stay with trusted host families—carefully selected through a rigorous vetting process that includes background checks by local police, the International House World Organisation, and our own in-house assessments. We typically place 2 to 4 students per household, and we always allow students to request roommates so they feel at ease. These home stays are a favorite part of the trip for many students, offering a real glimpse into daily life in another culture and the chance to form genuine international connections.
To ensure safety, host families stay in regular contact with our Tour Director, and parents or guardians back home in Canada can reach both our staff and the families directly 24 hours a day through a dedicated phone line. We take communication seriously because when students travel with CSLI, families should feel as connected and reassured as if they were right there with them.
