WorldStrides is the largest and most
trusted student educational travel company in the country. WorldStrides
has provided a variety of educational travel programs to more than
two million elementary, middle, and high school students since its
inception in 1967. Each year, 250,000 students travel with WorldStrides
to destinations throughout the United States and the world.
The WorldStrides mission is "Enriching
Students' Lives" by extending education into the worldwide
classroom and providing the best opportunity for learning through
seeing, experiencing, and interacting.
WorldStrides was established through
the merger of six of the country's leading student travel companies:
Lakeland Tours, American Student Travel, Educational Field Studies,
Heritage Education & Festivals, Bowl Games of America and Wider
Horizons. Lakeland Tours, the platform company around which WorldStrides
was created, was founded by Phil Wendel, a junior high school teacher
from Illinois, in 1967 to address the void in student educational
travel. Since then the company has worked with thousands of teachers
and schools from all 50 states and several foreign countries.
At WorldStrides, student educational
travel programs are the products. WorldStrides offers students a
wide breadth of program options ranging from history and science
to music and the performing arts.
