Educational Programming

LESHP adheres to state-wide educational standards and utilizes unique multimedia props, primary source documents, maps, and experiential techniques to provide a hands-on, interactive, and fun approach to learning.

Our professional educators have decades of experience in the NYC school system, and were public school students themselves -- an invaluable advantage, we believe, in relating history authentically to local students.

We can provide teachers with proven grade-appropriate lesson plans or work to customize a program which best fits your curriculum.

We have customized and provided excursions for such notable institutions as:

  • Stuyvesant High School
  • The Earth School, Avenue B
  • Little Red School House, Greenwich Village
  • Emma Lazarus High School
  • United Jewish Federation of NY
  • New York University
  • Hofstra University
  • NYU Gallatin
  • The Children's Aid Society
  • Bronx High School of Science
  • Brooklyn High School of the Arts
  • Leon Goldstein HS, Brooklyn
  • Bard Early College HS
  • Tompkins Square Middle School
  • Villa Park High School, So California
  • and many more...
