Why North America?
Domestic Travel Teaches Students About America
Students certainly don’t need to leave the country to get all the benefits of travel. The United States is a vast and diverse country, offering a wealth of educational travel destinations for students. From the bustling cities of New York, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles, to the natural wonders of the Grand Canyon, the U.S. has so much to offer. Students can visit historic landmarks such as Independence Hall in Philadelphia, see decades worth of artwork from around the world at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, or explore the country’s rich cultural heritage at the National Museum of the American Indian and the National Museum of African American History and Culture in D.C. Other educational destinations include science centers like the Kennedy Space Center and cultural events like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC and the New Orleans Mardi Gras. With so many options, students are sure to find a domestic travel destination that will expand their knowledge and broaden their perspectives.

International Experiences With Less Travel Time
Our neighbors to the north and south offer safe and accessible opportunities for students to immerse themselves in a different culture. The histories of Canada and Mexico are closely tied to that of the United States and therefore offer unique opportunities to examine how countries so geographically close and often interdependent can be both familiar and foreign.
