Washington D.C. Tours

There’s no better time than now for students to explore one of the most powerful cities in our country. Take a class trip to Washington D. C. to see incredible national monuments, The White House, countless museums, and tours of some of the places that have served as a political landmark for our country pack this trip with history, culture, art, and natural beauty.

During a student tour of Washington DC, students experience government in action for themselves and see firsthand what it takes to keep a country running. Visiting our nation’s capital encourages students to appreciate the people, places, and events that have taken place here and have helped shaped our country. We plan hundreds of educational 8th-grade student Washington D. C. tours every year!
