Wall Street, The Brooklyn Bridge, The Graves of Alexander Hamilton and Robert Fulton, St Paul's Chapel (where President Washington went to church), to name just a few spots within walking distance.
Don't miss walking along the Hudson River and the Winter Garden at the World Financial Center.

don't forget the South Street Seaport, it's a little bit of a walk from Ground Zero but the pay off is the Brooklyn Bride in its massive full glory. The S.S.Seapot also has a museum and such. Try to look up some info from them and see if you can arrange something theire. Historical and authentic.

I recommend Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty. I'm sure many of your students had relatives that came through Ellis Island.
There are a number of great museums in lower Manhattan. For a list, go to the New York City Convention Center's web site:

If you click on the link for "Planning Your Trip" and then click on "Family Travel," you'll be able to get ideas for visiting with kids or teens.
Let me add that few people mention that the United Nations is in Manhattan. I remember visiting it with my school as well as with my parents and I was do impressed that I can remember it to this day.

Take them to Ground Zero and show them World Trade Center 7(it's open) then cross the Brklyn bridge. Battery Park and show them the Statue and ellis Is. show them the cilton Cir. I thnk they let people in the woolworth building. Should be safe now because there are like police on every corner in Dwntown

you can get a tour of the NY stock exchange thats pretty interesting depending on the age of the kids and NBC a local news station does tours for high school groups too! Have a great time
