Sightseeing

America is famous for lots of things, and most are located in New York City. We are excited to offer students who go on our August program the chance to share this amazing city with new friends from both Australia and Europe. There is no extra cost as this is included in the program fee. Unfortunately this offer is not available to those travelling in January.
