New York City served as the nation’s capital shortly after the Revolutionary War and hosted many events of historical importance. Students will enjoy visiting Federal Hall, located downtown in the historic Wall Street district, where the Constitution and Bill of Rights were ratified and where George Washington was inaugurated as the nation’s first President.
During the 19th century, scores of immigrants passed through Ellis Island and settled in New York, contributing new cultural influences and transforming the area dramatically. CTA will custom design a tour to celebrate ethnic character, food and culture for students in French, Spanish, Italian, Asian, Jewish or African American studies including visits to “the neighborhoods,” including Harlem, China Town and Little Italy, or to museums, ethnic restaurants and cultural performances.
For students studying economics, NY’s Financial District is THE place to visit for investigating the relationship between Wall Street and Main Street, amidst the movers and shakers of world financial markets. Through good times and bad, New York City has emerged as the financial capital of the world.
In 1950, the headquarters of the United Nations was established in New York and emphasized the importance of New York’s political influence. A tour of the UN will provide students the opportunity to explore and understand current issues, programs and challenges faced by this vital organization.
Today, New York rivals Paris as the center of the art world and is host to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MOMA, the Whitney, the Guggenheim and more. Students on an art tour of the city will not be disappointed and we will infuse their tour with other unique experiences to keep them from being overwhelmed.
New York City has long been an entertainment magnet and home to the best selection of performing arts in the nation. Drama, music, theatre, and dance - it is all here and CTA will design a trip to include a live performance plus a Meet-the-Artist interview or hands-on workshop.
