WorldStrides - International

A WorldStrides educational travel program goes beyond the typical sightseeing tour of Europe. Our hands-on programs include interactive insights that allow students to experience cities the way locals do. Through real-world activities that provide students opportunities to interact with locals, students gain a firsthand understanding of the language, food, transportation, recreation, economy, politics, art, and culture of another country. Our itineraries are built around a thematic curriculum that connects with all kinds of learners, so everyone will become excited about your European program.

At WorldStrides, we believe that travel enhances the process of self-discovery, leading your students to learn as much about themselves as the places they visit. Experiences like these give students a deeper appreciation of the cultures they explore because they don’t just see it…they live it.

WorldStrides was the first organization to earn national recognition as an accredited travel study school. Our accredited status gives you confidence – when you present this program to parents, you know you have chosen the best possible educational value for their children.

Accrediting organizations, such as the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools (NAAS), develop guidelines and perform evaluations to ensure member institutions consistently display integrity, educational excellence, and adherence to rigorous academic standards. WorldStrides voluntarily participates in the accreditation process to demonstrate our organization’s commitment to providing the highest quality programs. As part of the ongoing process to maintain accreditation, each year WorldStrides evaluates programs, assesses student learning, and develops new programs, techniques, and materials to enhance our educational offering. WorldStrides has been accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools since 1996.

Educators and parents can have a high level of confidence in WorldStrides’ programs because of the organization’s industry-leading accreditation status and adherence to national educational standards. All WorldStrides programs – designed by a team of teachers, administrators, and instructional experts – are based on national curriculum standards and promote higher-order thinking.
