Why World Challenge?

As an educator, you ignite curiosity in students and open doors to new experiences. It is this passion we share at World Challenge and why we develop programs that give students opportunities they have never imagined, from managing a service project at an orphanage in Ecuador, to hiking through remote hill-tribe villages in Thailand, to visiting mountain-top temples in India.

World Challenge Program

Challenge: Students face a series of mental and physical challenges, taking them from outside their comfort zones and teaching them how to overcome adversity, cope with new environments and become more aware of both their strengths and weaknesses.

Environment: Students will become more environmentally aware by exploring diverse landscapes, finding out about other cultures or discovering more about their own. They will gain a broader global perspective and a greater respect for the world.
