What is the StudyTravel Leading Star award?

In 2013, English UK became the first school association to be inducted into the ST Super Star Hall of Fame. This honours those who have won their respective award category five times, the maximum number of times any single award can be won.

Currently, 40 organisations have reached 'ST Super Star' status. These include two of our corporate members, two language centre members and two partner agencies.

In order of inauguration date, these are: GuardMe, EC English, Twin Group, Academix, Language Kingdom and Londonist DMC.

The ST Leading Star award category is exclusively contested by the ST Super Stars. Of the five shortlisted for the award in 2025, four of them (including ourselves!) are part of the English UK family.
