Presidential Classroom

The Presidential Classroom is a high school program in which students spend a week in Washington, D.C., at the Georgetown Marriott Conference Center at Georgetown University. During each one-week visit, students tour different sites in DC, including the State Department, the Capitol, the Supreme Court, Mount Vernon, Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, World War II Memorial, and various advocacy organizations, such as the NRA, RNC, DNC, and ACLU. Students often visit embassies and meet personally with the ambassadors.

Students hear from leading political officials and insiders about the Constitution and the current political scene.
