WorldStrides was the first accredited
student travel company in the world and also an accredited
supplemental educational travel school. This is your guarantee
that you will choose the best educational opportunity possible.
Our accreditation and unique endorsements demonstrate the educational
integrity of our organization. Our staff has a long-standing history
of commitment to education. Our programs were designed by a team
of teachers, administrators, and instructional experts within WorldStrides.
Accreditation and Discovery Courses distinguish our programs from
all other educational student travel offerings.
"Accreditation
demonstrates the educational integrity of an organization."
Accreditation recognizes educational
institutions for performance, integrity, and quality that entitle
them to the confidence of the educational community and the public.
WorldStrides was accredited the Northwest
Association of Accredited Schools using high standards similar
to those used to accredit a school before it opens. In addition,
our programs are accredited by the Commission on International and
Transregional Accreditation (CITA).
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 first-hand experience
so they take away the most from the program.
