This article discusses why so many schools are now turning to specialist ski companies for help organising school trips. With an emphasis on the educational benefits of opting for an all-inclusive holiday, it offers a concise summary of what to expect.

When it comes to schooling, students are often hard at work taking on new information, preparing for exams and completing coursework. However, when the work is complete and the term is over, many schools choose to treat their students with a trip or holiday to reward their efforts.
Whilst UK fun parks were once the key to an end of year treat, far more schools are now turning to the ski trip for something new and exciting; and for good reason, it seems. With more and more companies specialising in ski school trips, there's a lot to be said for using an experienced and organised team to get things up and running.
Ski schools.[/b]
Using a ski school company takes the stress and hassle out of arranging accommodation, travel and lessons for students and won't limit where you can go and what the children can do. For instance, a ski trip could take you to France and La Plagne, Serre Chevalier or Les Menuires. Or alternatively, you could take pupils to Austria, the pistes of Italy, Canada, the US, or the friendly resorts of Switzerland.
Resorts used by ski schools have the added benefit of being tried and tested, with resorts chosen for their high quality hospitality, tuition and aprrs-ski opportunities. Primary ages are also catered for, with extra care to ensure the area and hotel are appropriately equipped and offer a safe and secure option for younger travellers.
Coach transfer to and from the piste is often included, with doorstep ski options provided with many of the skiing schools packages. Of course, no extra organisation is needed for all of this and with so little time taken up with paper work, there's more time to spend working with and helping the students enjoy their trip.
Learning through play.[/b]
Whilst school trips packages like this are all about fun, they are also focused on helping the students to try new things and learn through safe play. With this in mind, some companies now provide extra learning opportunities, from language skills and mountain safety to gaining new knowledge regarding the tourist and leisure industry.
Focusing on creativity, independent thinking, team work and self awareness, the time spent on a ski trip can have a positive impact on schooling, general attitude and behaviour, as well as future hopes, aims and aspirations.
With so much to gain and so little of the usual stress involved in organising a school trip, it's hardly surprising that more and more schools are turning to experienced travel companies for help. With destination, tuition and booking information easily accessed online, there's never been a better time to make the most of what these ski schools have to offer.
