About World Challenge

World Challenge excites and engages, stretches and challenges, develops new skills and opens doors for the future. It is not just an amazing trip to another country, but a developmental journey that starts long before students even step on the plane.

We are 100% focused on education. Every program we deliver is designed with the student’s personal development in mind. Teachers and parents tell us that this experience allowed their students/children to grow as individuals and develop understanding and compassion far beyond their years.

The World Challenge ethos

Founded in 1987, no other company in the world has come close to organising as many overseas expeditions for schools as World Challenge. However, our ethos has remained unchanged and runs through everything we do...

Challenge
When students are stretched beyond their comfort zones, learning outcomes are more powerful. As they overcome adversity, adapt to new environments and begin to understand their strengths and weaknesses, students will develop the ability to successfully manage problems.

Participation
We encourage student ownership of the whole experience. Months before they depart on expedition, the students plan and prepare as a team during the carefully crafted pre-expedition program, to develop increased responsibility, decision-making and team-work skills.

Environment
Over the duration of their expedition, students will learn to become more environmentally aware by exploring diverse landscapes, cities and rural towns. They will also develop an appreciation for other cultures and gain a broader global perspective.

Life is an incredible journey...

Students who participate in a World Challenge expedition embark on an amazing journey of self-discovery. The life skills they learn not only aid personal growth, but also help secure college placements and impress future employers. Partaking in such an adventure gives participants a unique opportunity to build strong friendships and gain confidence – all while having the time of their lives!
