New Orleans
 New Orleans is called “The Most Interesting City in America” and it is one of the most diverse, cultural, artistic, historical, and FUN places you’ll ever visit! In your online orientation classes, your teacher Libby Bollino, an extraordinary New Orleans historian and 10th generation Louisiana native, will introduce you to the city with stories, pictures, videos, and assignments meant to give you a deep understanding of the culture and history of this wonderful city. After this, it is time to hit the streets on foot and on trolley in person!
The French Quarter, the vibrant, colorful, musical heart of New Orleans is the start of your visit. This is the city’s oldest neighborhood and the center of the city’s exciting nightlife. You will see famous sites such as Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, the Mississippi River, and St. Louis Cathedral. You’ll also visit St. Louis Cemetery #3, one of New Orleans’ famous above-ground cemeteries as you hear about the unique funeral traditions of the city and some of its best ghost stories.
You’ll experience the natural beauty of City Park, a 1300-acre green space and see world-class art in the NOMA Sculpture Garden. Finally, students will learn about the birth of jazz in Armstrong Park. Libby will guide you through Congo Square, the very location where enslaved people gathered to keep their African culture alive, and the monuments to important contributors to American music.
