Educational programs that help students understand the world.

We Translate the Values of The New York Times into Educational Programs

We seek to bring together a diverse group of intellectually curious people whose varied backgrounds make for a wide range of views and perspectives. We place students in an engaging, informative and inspiring setting. Together we take on the critical issues and problems of the day with the analytical skepticism of a news reporter. We teach with the goal that the lessons learned will withstand students’ lifelong pursuit of truth and civic engagement.

We Are Committed to Diversity

We foster a culture of diversity, equity and inclusiveness. Our goal is to provide affordable educational opportunities to as many qualified applicants as possible. Explore our Scholarship Program.
