Something for everyone.
In all 50 states of the Union, there’s something for everyone. Regardless of what you’re teaching students, you’ll find a site that answers your learning objectives.
The USA is a nation rich in history, archaeological sites and museums of all kinds. In every state, there’s a vast array of educational opportunities which fit the bill.
From New York to Orlando – fascination.
Florida is about much more than beaches and the Everglades. In Florida, with its unique climate and location, there are opportunities to engage in numerous activities and excursions. Orlando offers fun and learning at Disney World, where students can enjoy everything from performance opportunities to performing arts workshops.
Universal Studios and the Kennedy Space Center can also be found in Orlando, offering educators a wide range of subject interest and extraordinary experiences for students.
New York City is replete with learning opportunities, from the cultural history of its vibrant ethnic neighborhoods, to the Statue of Liberty. Experience the excitement of Wall Street, or the thrill of live theatre at the world class level in this iconic city that never sleeps.
Art students will thrill to the enormous collections on display at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). They’ll be treated to the endless fascination of almost 200,000 pieces of art in its continually evolving repertoire.
