We’re going to New York City in Summer 2027, and we’d love for your student to join us!
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:

(RSVP to request more info to see the meeting details. Please RSVP even if you cannot attend the interest meeting and we will reach out to you!)
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.
In this info session, we’ll talk about:
~How this experience will benefit your student
~What we’ll see and do on our trip
~Everything that’s included in this tour
~How your child can earn academic credit
~How we’re keeping this safe and affordable
~How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) and get a limited time discount
I hope to see you there and look forward to sharing how this trip can be a powerful and unforgettable chapter in your child’s life!
