NOVEMBER 4-8, 2026NYC: Where Identity Meets Opportunity (An American Story)
The ExperienceNew York City isn’t just a place on the map — it’s a living testament to possibility. From the sweeping vision of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, to the bold leaders who shaped a nation, to the artists redefining culture on Broadway, NYC invites every traveler to ask, Who am I — and who could I become?
This immersive journey combines U.S. history with personal reflection and big-picture thinking. Students and parents alike explore iconic sites like the Statue of Liberty, Federal Hall, Harlem, and Broadway — not just as landmarks of the past, but as stages where individuals dared to sculpt their own futures. You’ll walk in the footsteps of newcomers seeking freedom, founders forging new ideas, and artists amplifying their voices. You’ll explore how people from all backgrounds contributed to the American story, and reflect on your own dreams, identity, and potential.
In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of. -Alicia Keys
