Who We Are

Unearthed Education is a New Zealand-based educational travel organisation that designs and delivers immersive, student-focused expeditions and educational school trips both internationally and within New Zealand.

Our vision is for our programs and organisational practices to have a net positive impact on the world.

Our Mission is to make the world a better place by providing extraordinary learning adventures that assist students in gaining the skills, confidence and insight to realise their potential in an increasingly global society; developing empathy for other cultures; furthering understanding of international issues; and heightening appreciation for the earth's wilderness and diversity.

From the initial program launch and student registration, through comprehensive pre-departure training and on-the-ground administration, Unearthed Education provides unwavering support to students, parents, and school leaders.

Our commitment extends beyond the program itself, with post-program feedback sessions and re-entry support to help students integrate their experiences back into their lives. At Unearthed Education, student safety is paramount. We maintain rigorous safety protocols, employ
experienced leaders, and provide comprehensive and in-person support to ensure a secure and enriching experience for every participant.

At Unearthed Education, we pride ourselves on our impeccable safety record and commitment to student welfare, and are proud to be powered by Pacific Discovery and Pure Exploration. With over two decades of experience, we have managed countless international programs without any major incidents. We are accredited by reputable third-party organisations, including The Gap Year Association, Adventure Mark, and Year Out Group. Our robust risk management protocols and comprehensive emergency contingency plans ensure peace of mind for educators, students and their families.
