Hello All!
This year Central Park East High School is offering a Spring Break trip to Portugal and Spain! We are a small school in East Harlem, NYC with students eager to explore the world! We've had numerous successful trips and we want to keep this tradition alive. The trip cost for each student is about $4,000 plus tips and spending money. We are hoping to fundraise enough money to cover all the tips and optional excursions while on tour and we also hope to offer students travel scholarships to help defray the cost.
Thank you so very much for your consideration! The students that have gone on previous trips have a new perspective of life and culture. Many of them have expressed an interest in studying abroad while attending university.
Below is our detailed itinerary that shows the important historical and cultural experiences we will have. Thank you in advance for your support!
