This is STS Education
In 1958, we organized the world’s first language trip and a brand new way for young people to travel was born. Since then, over 1,200,000 students have experienced the wonders of our world by learning a new language and achieving the personal growth that comes with gaining cultural understanding. STS Education’s wide selection of services and educational programs helps kids discover the world on their own, with our support and stable guidance.
STS stands for Student Travel Schools and is a globally leading educational company offering high school exchange programs and language trips. We have offices in multiple countries all over the world and our global network of incredible schools, warm host families, fantastic international colleagues and professional partners grows daily. We regularly explore innovative new ways to make our students’ experiences even more memorable.
We strive to continuously develop our programs in order to stay relevant in a constantly changing world and to continue to give young people the chance to grow through education and cultural exchange. Our programs encourage students to broaden their global perspective and strengthen their understanding of new cultures.
STS Education is since 2024 owned by Educatius Group.
