World Class Programs

World Class Programs, established in 2016 by University of Minnesota alumni, offers a large array of study abroad summer programs for high school students.

World Class Programs is the result of a cooperative effort by top-performing educators and young professionals from internationally recognized institutions and schools. Our team consists of staff members and curriculum developers from leading universities like the University of Minnesota, University of St. Thomas, Gustavus Adolphus College, and the University of Florence.

World Class Programs provide quality learning that fosters cross-cultural understanding, academic enrichment, and personal development. We maintain an unparalleled reputation in the field of pre-college study abroad programs because of our credentials as well as our commitment to serve students beyond the trip itself. We help teenagers experience authentic language and cultural immersion in other countries while maintaining a safe and respectful environment for them to live within. Our staff of qualified professionals provide them with respect while inspiring their intellectual curiosity and making them feel comfortable with the foreign language and culture they are discovering.
