About Us

CLE Abroad® designs thoughtful international journeys that combine cultural exploration with insight into the institutions, history, and ideas that shape our world today. 

Our programs invite travelers to experience destinations through deeper context by engaging with local experts and diverse perspectives. We believe travel becomes more meaningful when it is thoughtfully framed and experienced with curiosity and intellectual vigor.

Each journey is carefully curated to balance guided exploration, meaningful conversations, and time for independent discovery.

What Makes Our Programs Different

CLE Abroad programs bring together several elements that create a distinctive travel experience:

• visits to significant institutions such as courts, universities, public offices and local NGOs
• cultural exploration of historic sites and neighborhoods with scholarly guides
• dialogue with academics, practitioners, change makers and local experts encouraging open discussion and shared discovery

Together, these elements allow travelers to experience destinations not only as visitors, but as engaged observers of the societies they encounter.
