Featured Destination courses are new for 2015 - you'll love the first location we'll be studying/visiting!

 
Exciting New Addition for 2015
Introducing the FEATURED DESTINATION!
What is a Featured Destination course?
A NEW educational course is being offered by BMCC (Borough of Manhattan Community College) in partnership with Cultural Hi-Ways.  The destination is one that we know students / au pairs have a strong desire to visit but it's too far to drive for a weekend trip.

Like the current Learning Across America educational options available, "Featured Destination" courses will consist of 3 classroom sessions and a trip to the destination studied.  However, the trip will begin and end at the destination (transportation to/from the destination is not included) -- each student will book their own flight.  Transportation from the airport to the hotel (and back to the airport on Sunday) WILL be included.  Guests will be met at the hotel by a Cultural Hi-Ways tour manager who will be with them for the remainder of the weekend.

ONLY 25 PLACES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR EACH FEATURED DESTINATION COURSE!

Why the Featured Destination course is for you
* You choose what time you travel!
If you do not have to work on Friday, book your flight early and enjoy the day at your destination.  If you have to work most of the day, book your flight later.  All guests must check in at the hotel by 11pm.

* Travel alone or travel with friends the hard work is done for you!
Whether you're a travel pro or still feeling a little uncertain traveling in a new country, all you have to do is book your flight and get to the airport!  Detailed instructions will be given on how to catch the shuttle service from the destination airport to the hotel.  At the hotel you'll be met by a Cultural Hi-Ways tour manager and given your travel packet for the weekend.  The tour manager is there with you for the entire weekend.

* Study - Travel - Meet your educational requirement!
As with all Learning Across America courses offered by BMCC (Borough of Manhattan Community College) with successful completion of 3 classroom sessions, all coursework and the tour you will earn 4.5 CEU's (45 hours). 

Featured Destination courses offer the opportunity to learn and experience a city that you might not otherwise have a chance to visit -- at least not as easily as those within driving distance!

"I've participated in two Learning Across America courses.. So that obviously says something!

 I was able to experience two weekends away that I would never have on my own or with friends.

Learning about the history and background of each city made a lot more sense when going there. You had more knowledge about each place you went to. Having plenty of free time that allowed you to then explore what you wanted to explore was an added bonus.

Both the hotels that I stayed at were really nice!! I highly recommend these courses especially because you receive credits. I have encouraged all my friends to do the same!"

"I tried going to classes at a community college and spent so much money that even the fact that the classes were really interesting it didn't make me feel it was worth it.

Then I decided to take the Learning Across America Course. It is intense but it's much better spending some weekends busy than a whole semester and after all that you get to know a new place.

 The Cultural Hi-Ways staff are very thoughtful and give their best to make every part of the trip perfect.

I am totally going to do more Learning Across America courses at BMCC so I can learn more and see new places, all on a reasonable budget. :)"
