What is a World Challenge expedition?

Education through experience is the heart of our philosophy, and our expeditions offer the experience of a lifetime. World Challenge expeditions are packed with eye-opening cultural exchanges, physical challenges, and meaningful service projects in some of the world’s most beautiful countries. From 8 to 28 days in-country, a journey of self discovery begins benefitting your students from any and all backgrounds, interests and experience levels.

World Challenge works with middle schools, high schools and individuals to promote leadership and personal skills development and a better understanding of the world.

Follow our four simple steps to going on an expedition...

1. Contact us: We are available over the phone, by email or in person for a school visit.
2. Decide: Where to, for how long and what time of year. Our experts will work with you to select the best expedition for you and your students.
3. Recruit: We facilitate the launch process from presenting to students and parents to the first team meeting.
4. Enrol: Students will sign up directly with World Challenge and gain access to their ‘My World Challenge’ web portal.
