An Enriched Educational Experience

WorldStrides International Discovery

programs offer unrivaled travel experiences

to more than 60 countries on six continents.

For more than three decades we’ve leveraged

personal service, uncompromised quality,

expert craftsmanship, and an unwavering

focus on educational value to inspire and

enrich the lives of our travelers. Our unique

LEAP program uses creative and fun

contemporary teaching methods to maximize

the learning experience. LEAP engages

students, making them active learners who

translate information into knowledge and

understanding.

Why Quality Matters

WorldStrides quality enhances the educational

outcomes for our students, provides for the

comfort and safety of the whole group and

gives peace of mind to teachers and families.

We use centrally located hotels in safe

neighborhoods, which mean more time where

you want to be and less time travelling. Meals

are carefully chosen to reflect local cuisine.

Our Tour Directors are much more than

escorts. They use their extensive training to

act as cultural mediators, engaging students

throughout the program.

Safety

Your child’s safety is always our top priority.

Our staff members are on call 24 hours a day

and our Tour Directors stay in the same

hotels as their groups. Tours have a ratio of

one chaperone for every six students. Each

Group Leader is provided with an

international cell phone. We include travel

insurance and strongly recommend the

Cancellation Protection Plus.
