About
At WorldStrides, we understand that learning is not confined to the walls of a classroom; it often happens through immersive experiences that broaden perspectives and instill a sense of global citizenship in students. As the nation’s largest educational travel company, we proudly offer hundreds of destinations and thousands of educational travel itineraries for learners at all ages, serving over 400,000 students each year. Our dedication to providing high-quality, engaging educational experiences stems from our belief that travel can ignite passions and encourage lifelong learning. Our K-12 teacher-led programs provide educators unique opportunities to bring lessons to life through firsthand experiences. We strive to ensure that each journey enhances their curriculum while also aligning with their educational goals, fostering personal growth in students through exploration. Our Higher Education programs not only immerse students in new cultures but also facilitate academic growth via study abroad and experiential learning opportunities tailored to their interests. By partnering with schools, we create customized programs that meet specific educational needs, ensuring that every participant returns with a newfound sense of knowledge and curiosity about the world.
