Parent, Washington, D.C. Trip
My 8th-grade student had an amazing experience on the Washington, D.C. trip. Beyond seeing historic landmarks, the trip helped students connect what they learned in the classroom to real places and events. Communication was excellent throughout, and we never had any reason to worry.

The trip was awesome. I was able to go with my daughter as a chaperone, and we loved it. Our trip director, John, did a great job. Enjoyed hearing about and seeing our country’s history.
