Customize your trip to enhance the goals of your program:

Educational

New York offers unmatched opportunities for immersive learning across history, art, science, and business. Students can stand where history was made at Ellis Island, explore innovation at the American Museum of Natural History, or study financial systems firsthand on Wall Street. With every corner offering a new perspective, New York transforms learning into a living experience.

TRiO Educational Programs

New York City is a place where dreams and determination intersect, making it an ideal destination for TRIO students. Visit top-tier universities like Columbia, NYU, and Fordham to explore pathways to higher education. Participate in workshops on leadership, diversity, and personal growth inspired by the city’s rich social and cultural landscape. From the stories of perseverance at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum to the innovation on display at the New York Hall of Science, every experience in New York encourages students to aim higher, think bigger, and believe in their potential.

Performing Arts (Band, Choir, and Orchestra)

There is nothing like the energy of performing in New York, where every performance feels bigger, bolder, and more memorable.

Broadway-style workshops and music masterclasses give students the chance to learn from working performers and instructors, sharpening their skills while experiencing the artistry behind world-class productions. Beyond the performance, groups enjoy unforgettable New York experiences, from seeing a Broadway show to exploring iconic neighborhoods, making this trip as inspiring offstage as it is onstage.

Theatre & Dance

Experience the heartbeat of Broadway through behind-the-scenes workshops led by industry professionals. Students can take acting, singing, or dance masterclasses, explore stage production techniques, and attend a Broadway or Off-Broadway show. Whether performing on stage or learning from the pros, students step into the spotlight of the world’s theater capital.

Gerber Tours is one of the best companies with which I have ever done business! I take my students on an 8th grade trip to Washington DC each year. They are totally dependable and trustworthy and have always delivered on their promises. I have taken our school to the East Coast with Gerber for 42 years and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend Gerber Tours for all you need in group student travel.
