Information | Testimonials

The people behind the World Leadership School have a long history of successfully managing student groups. We also are parents ourselves.

As a parent, here is what you can expect from us:

Safety
The safety of our students is our number one priority. We build safety into every level of a World Leadership School trip.

We begin with seasoned in-country directors who have a long record of safely handling students in their country. These directors personally select the communities we work with and screen host families. They are responsible for coordinating all logistics such as ground transportation and activities.

The next level of safety is provided by the World Leadership School instructor, who travels with the group. The instructor has gone through our training program and has the requisite first aid training. He or she understands how to keep students safe and works closely with the school’s teachers, who are also on the trip.

The final, and most important level of protection, is the community itself. We select communities that are small and closely knit, where neighbors take care of each other. Our host families take the safety of their students very seriously.

Learning
Your child will come away from a World Leadership School trip with a unique and eye-opening experience.

He or she will develop a meaningful connection with a culture very different from her own.

She will understand a global problem like climate change and witness its impacts with her own eyes.

She will work alongside inspiring local leaders and, in the process, view herself as a leader. She will ask the questions: “What is my leadership style? What do I stand for?”

Fun and Adventure
All learning at World Leadership School is experiential, hands-on and fun. We also take every opportunity to explore the country around us by rafting, hiking, camping and engaging in other safe adventure activities. We want to get kids out of the classroom and allow them to learn in new ways.

Safety
At World Leadership School, we take safety very seriously. Apart from our risk management protocols and pre-established evacuation plans, each program has three basic levels of safety.
