WorldStrides - Focus on Europe

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 first-hand understanding of the language, food, transportation, recreation, economy, politics, art, and culture of another country.

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 a supplemental travel education school. Our accredited status also gives you confidence – when you present this program to parents, you know you’ve chosen the best possible educational value for their children.

Accrediting organizations, such as the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools (formerly Northwest Association of Accredited Schools and of Colleges and Universities), 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 curriculum 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 within the company – are based on national curriculum standards and promote higher-order thinking.
