When planning a group tour for middle or high school students, one of the most popular destination choices is New York City. New York educational trips aren’t just about seeing skyscrapers and iconic sights — they also offer faith-building experiences for students. 

This megalopolis, seen only in movies by many, is a cultural, historical, and spiritual hub where students can expand their horizons, grow their faith, and learn. But what exactly makes the city that never sleeps such an ideal location for a Christian school trip?

Should Christian Schools Consider New York City?

When you think of New York City, your mind might first go to Broadway shows, towering skyscrapers, and the bustling atmosphere in Times Square. But when Forge Christian Tour Co. helps coordinate your trip, your experience is tailored to Christian students. Our tours focus on education and faith-building, making New York an excellent choice for school groups.

Hands-on Learning

One of the advantages of New York educational trips is the ability for students to engage with history hands-on. Students will witness God’s creation on a scale far beyond textbooks as they walk through the American Museum of Natural History. And when they stand in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, they can reflect on the themes of freedom and justice — values deeply rooted in Christian teaching. 

Following one of our trips, a counselor told us, “Our students learned how God was instrumental in the history of our country, and parents learned about miracles that only God could have orchestrated to help our country grow and prosper. They put the truth back in our history!”

What Our New York Educational Trips Include

A Forge Christian Tour Co. trip to New York City is educational and meaningful. Here are some must-see locations and activities you can expect when you book a New York educational trip with us:

  • Historical landmarks — Visits to sites like Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, and the 9/11 Memorial
  • Museums and cultural experiences — From the American Museum of Natural History to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, your students will gain insights far beyond the classroom

With these experiences, students learn more about American history and consider how their faith intersects with culture and history. You can also see how much students enjoy themselves in the photos in our gallery. 

Faith-Building in the Big Apple

Christian parents and educators want their students to grow spiritually and academically. New York City has numerous historic churches and religious sites where faith has historically played a pivotal role. Forge takes student groups to significant spots like St. Paul’s Chapel, Trinity Church, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, where students can connect with the history of Christianity in the United States.

In addition to visiting spots with specifically Christian history, Forge tour guides also weave devotionals, discussions, and reflection times into their itineraries to encourage students to think more deeply and connect the dots between what they are learning, and what they understand about God.
