Customize your trip to enhance the goals of your program:
Educational
New York City is the ultimate destination for hands-on learning outside the classroom. Dive into American history at the Statue of Liberty and 9/11 Memorial, explore science and nature at the American Museum of Natural History, or connect your curriculum to real-world experiences through interactive exhibits at the Tenement Museum and the Museum of the City of New York. Whether it’s social studies, STEM, or language arts, your students will return home with a deeper understanding of the world, and their place in it.
TRiO Educational Programs
Support college readiness and cultural enrichment through a TRIO-focused tour of NYC. Walk the campuses of prestigious universities like Columbia and NYU, attend college prep workshops or admissions presentations, and inspire students with the stories of resilience and achievement found at the African Burial Ground National Monument or the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Combine personal growth with unforgettable experiences that empower first-generation students to dream big.
Performing Arts (Band, Choir, and Orchestra)
New York City sets the stage for unforgettable performance opportunities. From the excitement of performing at a landmark venue to participating in a professional workshop with Broadway musicians or Juilliard faculty, your ensemble will grow artistically and personally. Past groups have performed at iconic locations such as the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and even aboard the deck of the USS Intrepid and the beautiful ambiance of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Take your music to new heights in a city that lives and breathes performance.
Theatre & Dance
Step into the spotlight in the world’s performing arts capital. Experience the thrill of a Broadway show, then go behind the scenes with immersive workshops led by professional actors, dancers, and choreographers.

For theatre and dance students, there’s no better place to explore their passion, and see where it can take them.
