Perspectives Programs

Experience new cultures. Come home with new perspectives.

WorldStrides Perspectives programs put high school students at the very heart of new cultures and ideas in nations around the world—up close and personal travel experiences that last a lifetime.

We immerse students in lifestyle, culture, and community. Going beyond sightseeing with authentic experiences—new foods, new friends, and new points of view.  Getting out there, in the wide open, opens eyes.

You're in good company

Over 10,000 teachers and over 400,000 students travel with us per year. Since our founding, we've taken over 7 million students across the globe! We're experts at taking students all across the world and bringing truly amazing experiences to life.

A chance to soak it all in

We believe real immersion in a culture makes for a more authentic experience. We want you to eat like the natives do, so we take you to local restaurants. We want you to bunk down right in the center of the action, so we put you in centrally located hotels. All this means more local flavor, and more hours to enjoy it! View more

An interactive approach to learning

Our trademarked approach to learning - LEAP - gets students actively involved in what they're seeing and doing.  This active engagement between students, the places they visit, and their Tour Directors allows students (and teachers) to absorb more and build their knowledge and social skills.

Our accreditation as a school allows us to offer free college credit for student travel. It's a great boost to student portfolios, and a competitive advantage when applying to college. To say thanks to our teachers leading the program, we also offer free professional development and graduate credit.  Read More
