Village Preservation offers students an unparalleled opportunity to engage with New York City by exploring the history, culture, and architecture of Greenwich Village.
All courses are led by qualified educators and align with New York State and City learning standards for Social Studies, English, Language Arts, and the Arts. Classes are a wonderful foundation for the study of the history and development of New York City. We focus on diverse themes and distinct areas of the Village, and are tailored to the needs of your individual class, and can provide interactive lessons walking tours, and art projects.
These classes are available for free or at low cost to qualifying schools.
