Student Groups
Notch Above Tours is not built on “one-size-fits-all” pricing—it is built on purposeful, fully customized student travel.
We design 100% private, tailor-made programs that are never combined with outside groups. Each itinerary is thoughtfully crafted around your curriculum, your goals, and your students—ensuring meaningful connections, authentic cultural exchange, and experiences that go far beyond standard sightseeing.
Our journeys are developed by experienced travel professionals and former educators, giving us a deep understanding of how to balance education, engagement, and logistics. From behind-the-scenes access to hands-on learning opportunities, every element is intentionally designed to create impact.
Tell us where your students want to go—and more importantly, what you want them to gain—and we will build a custom educational experience that delivers lasting value, not just a trip.
Meet our Director of Student Travel
Theresa Mazza brings nearly three decades of experience as a Spanish teacher, World Language Department Chair, and international exchange coordinator in the Burlington metro area to every program she helps shape.
Deeply rooted in the local education and business community, she works closely with teachers, schools, and families to ensure each travel experience is seamless, well-organized, and grounded in meaningful educational outcomes. Her background in language instruction, cultural immersion, and student development—combined with a global network of trusted partners—allows her to design programs that are both academically relevant and personally impactful.
Theresa’s approach goes well beyond logistics. Every itinerary is thoughtfully crafted to foster connection, curiosity, and real-world learning, ensuring students return with a broader perspective and a deeper appreciation of the world around them.
We are fortunate to have a dedicated local leader whose work reflects a genuine commitment to making the world better—one student at a time—through education, cultural understanding, and transformative travel experiences.
