LeaderTrip is built around real-world learning. Students do not just hear about history, government, culture, and leadership — they experience them directly.
What Students Experience Through LeaderTrip
History & Civics
Students visit museums, monuments, memorials, and historic sites where national stories come to life. They experience the institutions, symbols, and spaces connected to American government, citizenship, and public service.
Culture & Place
Students explore the energy, neighborhoods, food, transit, and diversity of Washington, D.C., and New York City while learning how place shapes people, stories, and communities.
Independence & Responsibility
Students practice awareness, decision-making, confidence, flexibility, and personal responsibility while navigating major cities as part of a structured group.
Leadership & Growth
Students grow through shared experiences, group travel, reflection, real-world challenges, and meaningful moments that help them see themselves, their country, and the world with greater perspective.

LeaderTrip 2027 is currently being planned. Final trip details, dates, itinerary, and pricing will be confirmed as airfare, lodging, transportation, and reservations are finalized.

Expected final range: $1,990–$2,090

Deposit: $250 reserves a spot and is applied toward the total trip cost
The all-in price is expected to include major trip expenses such as airfare, lodging, transportation, food, admissions, shows, events, scheduled group activities, and planned trip administration costs.
The final price depends on airfare, lodging, transportation, ticket availability, group size, and reservation costs. The goal is to keep the trip affordable while protecting the quality, safety, and organization of the experience.
Because airfare and lodging prices can change, the final all-in price will be confirmed once major reservations are secured.
LeaderTrip is currently designed for UCAS students and their parents/guardians. Participation is limited and subject to approval, availability, and completion of all registration requirements.
LeaderTrip is operated by Isom Experiences LLC and is not sponsored, endorsed, supervised, or insured by UCAS.
