Join us for LanguageBird’s Summer 2023 Educational Travel Opportunity!
This trip will be a language and cultural immersion experience taking your student to France and Spain with other like-minded high school students
LanguageBird strongly believes this travel abroad experience will foster global awareness and broaden students’ horizons in the following ways:
- They will gain face-to-face, hands-on experience in a new country
- They will naturally become more independent through exposure to different ideas and local ways of life
- They will expand their language skills through true immersion and daily life abroad
Students will still have sufficient time to enroll and take a LanguageBird course before or after travel and have the additional option to gain high school or university credit from George Mason University for the time spent abroad. This is a wonderful opportunity to put their language skills to the test with native speakers and make memories of a lifetime! To read more about credit opportunities, scroll down.

WorldStrides
We have chosen to travel with WorldStrides because they are the leader in international student travel. They set the bar for Global Competence programs and have over 50 years of experience. We have also been very impressed with their commitment to health & safety, customer service, and to providing truly immersive and interactive travel experiences.
Earn Academic Credit – Global Competence
Students! You can register for Discovery for Credit coursework before, during, or after the travel portion of the program. Courses consist of the travel portion of the program combined with an online course. Most assignments are designed to be completed after travel since they ask that you incorporate much of what you learned during the field experience. We encourage you to log on before travel, if time permits, to get a feel for the course and explore its components. There is a 6-month deadline from the return date of travel to complete all online assignments. Upon successful completion and the processing of credits, a transcript may be ordered directly from WorldStrides or George Mason University. Transcripts can be submitted to school registrars for consideration or attached separately to college applications or résumés. Students and educators should check with receiving institutions with regard to credit transfer policies. WorldStrides holds accreditation through multiple regional agencies, including both corporate-level and school-level accreditation through Cognia (formerly AdvancED). This enables our traveling students to earn academic credit in conjunction with travel programs.
