New York City

We’re going to New York in Spring 2026, and you’re invited!

We’re excited to tell you more about the trip we’re planning with EF Explore America, our educational travel partner. Please be sure to register for this info session to be considered for this opportunity: https://rsvp.efexploreamerica.com/4ve8f8g

When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.

We’ll be covering all of the tour details, what’s included, how it works, and we’ll be opening up the tour for enrollment at the end of the meeting. There will be limited seats on tour so be sure to RSVP and attend if you are interested!
