NYC: A Living Classroom of U.S. History

Registration Coming Soon 
The Experience

This is not a checklist trip. It’s a three-day immersion into the ideas, conflicts, and stories that shaped the United States—experienced in the very streets where history unfolded.

Designed for middle and high school students and their parents, this New York City experience blends iconic landmarks with thoughtful pacing, meaningful discussion, and moments of awe. It includes a semester-long American history guide exploring unique themes of the trip. From the Statue of Liberty to Broadway, students don’t just learn history—they will feel it.

❋ Immersive, place-based learning

Visiting some of New York’s most iconic landmarks

❋ Built-in reflection and discussion

Connection and curiosity built into both the home curriculum and group discussions

❋ Walkable days with breathing room

Full itinerary but not overwhelming to allow for free time and down time

❋ Experiences that resonate across the ages

weaving history, art, and culture that transcends age

In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of. -Alicia Keys
