01 The Young Historians Program US-UK
British schools are able to use funds from the Turing Scheme to send entire classrooms to New York City for a week to prepare for their debates and learn alongside their American classmates. These visits enable US and UK students, teachers, schools and school leaders to deepen their learning and forge close ties. Our partner institution, the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum and Garden on East 61st Street provides a historic 18th Century museum, extensive knowledge of the colonial period and an extraordinary setting for learning in midtown Manhattan. The Young Historians Program US-UK was founded at MIT in 2001. It brings together schools in Great Britain and the United States for a year of shared inquiry into the history of British colonization in North America. At the end of the school year, students participate in a parliamentary-style debate on a legal, moral or ethical aspect of Colonial America. Causes of the American Revolution
