The program seeks to pick students with leadership potential, to develop their leadership skills while within the U.S., and to support them in alumni activities after they return home.

Annually, World Learning places approximately 8-10 of the 1,000 high school students, who have the chance to measure within USA with American host families and attend high school during the tutorial year.
