Schools

High Line School Programs cultivate youth dialogue, exploration, artistry, and self-actualization through hands-on experiential learning. The High Line partners with schools to support the aspirations and ingenuity of young people.

The High Line is a free public resource for schools to engage in hands-on learning about horticulture, design, public art, and New York City history. While visiting the High Line school groups can experience these disciplines first hand.

The High Line offers standards aligned teaching tools for schools and educators. These free educational resources enable students to learn about public art, horticulture, history, design, and engineering in participatory and meaningful ways.
