Washington DC
Students flock to Washington DC each year to learn about systems of government and to tour the Smithsonian Museums - better teaching tools than any text book could possibly be.
As you tour America’s capital, be inspired by the touching monuments dedicated to the heroes who shaped the nation, won its freedom and fought to preserve it. Trace the path from British colony to a nation divided by civil war, to world superpower by visiting nearby Jamestown and Gettysburg, and the many Federal buildings. The Whitehouse, Capitol Building, Supreme Court, and Library of Congress are the pillars of American government and gain a better understanding of the past and present.

- Anacostia Museum
