With so much on offer for students, an educational trip to New York requires a few days to maximise their time. However, to really make an educational tour abroad worthwhile, combining New York with another of America’s northeastern cities – like Boston or Washington DC – can help create a well-rounded tour that allows students to delve into the politics and history of the USA. To that end, an ideal tour might last from 7-10 days.
As well as instantly recognisable landmarks such as the aforementioned Empire State Building and Central Park, students on New York educational trips may be drawn to visit the World Trade Center. Here, they can learn about how New York rebuilt stronger following the 9/11 terror attacks, offering a powerful educational experience and fostering a deeper understanding of the 21st century’s capacity for strength and solidarity.
Other good school field trip ideas in New York include heading to Liberty and Ellis Islands for a close-up view of Lady Liberty herself. Celebrated arts, cultural, and heritage venues as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Harvard Art Museum, and the American Museum of Natural History will also be highly intriguing and relevant to many young people who take on educational school trips to NYC.
There are numerous reasons why teachers and educational professionals may be attracted to the idea of New York school field trips.
New York is home, for example, to the United Nations (UN) building, which is the ideal place for students of many different ages to learn about the global politics and governance. All five of the city’s boroughs are awash with history and culture.
Business students, for example, have the opportunity to see Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange in action. Meanwhile, students of the arts can marvel at the treasures of some of the world’s finest art galleries, or see a professional production on the iconic Broadway.
Well-equipped with all the amenities and attractions that your travelling group could conceivably need, New York lends itself to personally rewarding and highly educational trips right through the school year.
The “low season” for tourism is around January to March, and the September to October and April to mid-May periods see relatively moderate tourist demand. So, these can be good times to plan New York educational tours, given the generally lower prices and less intense crowds compared to November and December.
