"Travel…the Perfect Freedom" is a timely message as we enter 2003! Not only does the ability to travel represent the inherent values of our country, travel also creates an extension of the classroom into the real world.
Education cannot be completed in the classroom. You know that, we know that and together we have been providing a link to the real world that students need in order to fulfill your educational objectives as well as those set forth in the National Fine Arts Curriculum guidelines. Recently, Claude Smith, composer of instrumental music for school age children spoke to a small group of travel industry professionals about the integral part travel plays in the music education of today's youth. Mr. Smith pointed out "National guidelines simply cannot be met by teaching music within the boundaries of the classroom."
As your districts place more emphasis on the educational value of your travel plans, it becomes more and more important that you are working with a company that can help you create experiences that will meet those needs. The staff at New Horizons clearly understands the critical role we play in providing experiences that not only fulfill your objectives but also meet the requirements of your administration and your district. You can count on us to continually be expanding our contacts with festivals, clinicians, performing venues, and educational workshops and weave your music goals with additional educational curricular disciplines. Whether it is a Magic Music Days performance at the Walt Disney World® Resort or Disneyland®, participation in a festival in San Antonio or Myrtle Beach, a workshop in New York City a clinic in London, or a school visit in Germany, your students will receive the best educational experience outside of your classroom.
In addition, New Horizons is offering additional assurance that your travel plans are in good hands. We now carry $10,000,000 of liability Insurance and $700,000 of deposit protection. We also offer security guards, lanyard style name badges, phone cards, and of course our A+ Tour Escorts that you tell us are outstanding! Hopefully this will ensure you, your parents and your administration that your travel plans are educationally sound and that you are being taken care of by the "best in the business."
