WorldStrides was the first accredited
student travel organization in the world. Our accreditation through the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools is your guarantee
that, when you travel with WorldStrides, you have chosen the best educational opportunity available.
Our accreditation and unique endorsements demonstrate the educational
integrity of our organization. Our staff has a longstanding history
of commitment to education. Our programs are designed by a team
of teachers, administrators, and instructional experts within WorldStrides, and our
accreditation distinguishes our programs from
all other educational student travel offerings.
"Accreditation
demonstrates the educational integrity of an organization."
As an accredited travel study school, WorldStrides undergoes the same accreditation process as other schools in the United States, and we
adhere to strict guidelines of integrity, educational excellence, and high academic standards.
Our programs are based on national curriculum standards and promote
higher-order thinking. Certified Course Leaders challenge students
to assess and apply what they are learning through firsthand experience,
so students take away the most from their travel program.
