StudyTravel Secondary School Awards 2026 finalists announced

Now in their sixth year, the StudyTravel Secondary School Awards are spread across 15 categories, including regional awards for schools and agents, dedicated categories for chain schools and school boards in Canada, and awards for industry associations, service providers and guardianship organizations.

The winners of the ST Secondary School Awards 2025.

An innovation for 2026 is the Leading Class award, contested exclusively by those organizations who have already won their respective categories five times: Bright World Education & Guardianships (Guardianship Organization), Canadian Association of Public Schools – International (Educator Association) and Mercedes College (Australia and NZ High School).

The winners will be announced during a special gala dinner and ceremony at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, Park Lane on April 12th, during the ST Alphe Secondary Focus, London 2026 conference.

The voting period was conducted over two months, with schools voting for agency partners and vice versa, with a maximum of five voting forms per company.

Matthew Knott, News Editor of StudyTravel Magazine and one of the presenters of the awards, said, “Congratulations to all of the organizations who are finalists in the ST Secondary School Awards 2026; it is a great achievement to be recognized by industry partners. We look forward to celebrating them and the entire work of the high school study abroad sector at the ceremony.”
