Chaperones for THE TEXAS COLLEGE TOUR are sourced from our pool of exceptional teachers, coaches, nurses and administrators. Then, select parent chaperones willing to submit to a background check round out our group.
We surpass the 10:1 university requirement
for student-to-chaperone ratios, which means added security for your student.
Many of our campus tours take place during the academic day in order to give students a realistic view of college life & culture of each unique campus.
Campus visits often include benefits such as Q&A sessions with a current student, dining in the on-campus cafeteria, or even joining the student body in cheering on the home team!
We are parent-owned & operated, so we understand the expense and logistical challenges of starting the college search. We can help take the financial burden and initial scheduling hassles off your plate to free up time with your family. It's our goal for your child to come home excited about their college search & eager to
share it with you!

The Texas College Tour offers high-schoolers a baby step toward managing their own education. This is an overview of 7-8 Texas colleges, giving students a chance to experience public verses private universities, as well as what education looks like on campuses of various sizes and cultures. Our aim is for your student to come home excited about the possibilities and ready to share it all with you! The big decisions and family days now mostly happen after acceptances are offered, so rest assured, you will definitely be a part of the process. With that said, there is a chaperone interest option in the registration page. Let us know if you are interested in helping in that capacity.
These days, the college process is very different! Students are now encouraged to develop a list of 8-16 colleges to target by their junior year. Some of the larger universities we all know and love are only accepting 100 entering freshman into their chosen major of study. Yep- just 100! And, with the rising number of college applicants since 2020, our students must identify a broader list of target schools. With more college -bound students, availability for campus tours is sometimes slim. That's where The Texas College Tour comes in. Let us handle the logistics. We are ready to help your student get a feel for their Texas college options firsthand.
On average, 1/3 of our students do not know anyone before they arrive at our kickoff breakfast the day of departure. We have had more than 10 high schools represented on a tour before, which means they are all meeting new friends! We offer social activities starting the first day to encourage fun & conversation. We highly recommend joining us at our kickoff breakfast the morning of departure to meet the chaperones & other students so everyone feels welcome & comfortable!
