About WorldStrides

We provide life-changing experiences that take learning outside the classroom for millions of educators, parents, and students. Through our educational approach called LEAP (Learning through Exploration and Active Participation®), students on a WorldStrides tour do more than sight-see, they engage in hands-on activities that challenge them to think critically. Whether diving into new cultures abroad, taking center stage at iconic music venues, or connecting with our shared human history, participants in our educational travel programs foster unforgettable experiences.
