At World Challenge, we believe that overseas travel is one of the most empowering, life-altering forms of learning possible.
We’re passionate about what we do and have dedicated ourselves to the pursuit of creating unique school trips that educate, enrich and inspire the next generation.
For over 35 years, we’ve enabled transformative travel experiences right around the world. These experiences complement school learning, giving students the opportunity to become true life-learners and global citizens.
It’s the kind of learning that students will carry with them long into the future; learning that can only come from experiencing this amazing planet and the unique cultures that inhabit it.
We give students the opportunity to write their own stories, make their own mistakes, live their own adventures, learn and grow with peers, and see the world with open eyes that are focused on those around them.

Lean In Girls is a leadership program that helps girls see themselves as leaders in a world that often tells them they’re not. We want to equip girls to be self-assured, resilient, and inclusive everyday leaders and inspire them to lead boldly. And we want the world to remove the obstacles in girls’ way and encourage them to lead on their own terms. At the heart of Lean In Girls is a curriculum for girls and young teens who identify with the girlhood experience (ages 11 to 15). With a balance of strength-building activities and real talk on important topics like bias and allyship, participants learn to embrace their leadership superpowers and reject stereotypes about what girls can’t do.
