Are you planning on taking your students on any school trips in 2018? If so, there’s a lot to consider, including your destination, distance, travel time, and transportation. Constitution Coach, a charter service based out of Hartford, CT, has a few suggestions for your school charters this year, based on the distance you and your students want to travel.

Short-Distance School Charters

If you’re looking for shorter-distance school charters, consider New York City or Philadelphia. New York City is roughly a two- to three-hour drive, and there’s never a shortage of museums to explore, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art. Plus, you can tour the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. Philadelphia’s historical significance is a great destination for history classes, as it's the location of the Constitutional Convention in 1787. It’s about a 4-hour drive from Hartford.

Mid-Distance School Charters

In addition to being our nation’s capital, it also features countless museums and must-see attractions, including the National Mall, the Smithsonian, the Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the National Air and Space Museum. These offer endless learning opportunities for history and political science classes, and it’s five- to six-hour drive.

Long-Distance School Charters

If you want to venture a little further away from home, Constitution Coach has you covered. They offer school charters to any destination nationwide. Chicago is about 13 hours away from Hartford. Similar to New York City, Chicago has a Zoo and Botanic Garden and the Art Institute of Chicago, which are perfect for biology and art classes. It’s always fun to check out some of the more entertaining attractions, too, like Navy Pier.

One of the best ways to get your students excited about a new topic is to do some teaching outside of the classroom. Whether you want to take your students on a school trip near or far, Constitution Coach will get you to your destination safely. In addition to their school charters, they also offer charter services for many other large groups. They’re currently offering special rates for school groups and seniors, so give them a call today at (860) 646-0363 or visit their website for more information.
