In 1964, a middle school social studies teacher from Chicago discovered the incredible experience of traveling to Washington, D.C. with his students. He was so encouraged by the powerful effects travel had on his students, he left teaching in 1967 to create Lakeland Tours - an educational student travel organization. Through his vision, the company has become the industry leader in student travel.
Since then, the company has worked with thousands of teachers and schools from all 50 states and several foreign countries. In the late 90s, Lakeland Tours merged five of the country's leading student travel companies: American Student Travel, Educational Field Studies, Heritage Festivals, Bowl Games of America, and Wider Horizons.
As many as 200,000 students in a given year travel with WorldStrides to destinations throughout the United States and the world. WorldStrides is the only company of its kind to be a supplemental education provider.
