About STS

In 1958, STS organised what was perhaps the world's first language trip for teenagers. Since then we have exported the language trip concept and exchange programs to many countries. STS now operates worldwide and we have offices in 14 countries and a large global network of partners, schools, host families and local staff all over the world

OUR MISSION: Empowering young people to grow through education and cultural exchange

We are totally convinced that a person who receives the right opportunities can grow and reach their full potential. We also know that learning a language abroad gives young people an edge in an increasingly competitive world. With our portfolio and service, their journey towards that potential will be easier, safer and more enjoyable.

Today, STS is one of the world's leading organisations for language training and international youth exchange. Long experience and sensitivity to each customer's needs are the main reasons for our many years of success.

WE OFFER: Experience-based learning

Experience-based learning is how we define what we offer. Our service contributes to personal development and education, and allows people to reach their full potential, whilst having the time of their lives.

We are convinced that experience-based learning abroad is truly the best way to acquire new skills, a new language, boost self-confidence and grow as a person. Start Your Journey, and see for yourself!

Our organisation is divided into four main areas; STS Language Schools, STS High School, STS Au Pair and IBS International Business School. The headquarter is located in Gothenburg, Sweden.
