For twenty-five years, our travel programs to Washington, DC for junior high/middle school students have offered America’s junior citizens a wonderful and very special opportunity to visit our Nation’s Capital. These enjoyable and professionally administered learning and tour programs have been acclaimed by teachers, students and parents alike. Extending from a few days to a week in length, many thousands of American youngsters have participated in the programs over the past 4 decades, returning home with memories and new found knowledge to last a lifetime.

     Since inception, Travel Seminars to Washington, DC have been offered in cooperation with the Washington Workshops Foundation, founded in 1967 as a non-profit, non-partisan educational foundation. Washington Workshops is the multiple recipient of the Americanism Award of the Valley Forge Freedoms Foundation for “outstanding achievement in bringing about a better understanding of the American way of life.” The National Association of Secondary School Principals has placed the Workshops programs on the Advisory List of National Contests and Activities for 2004-2005. In addition, Washington Workshops has received the support of the National Association of Independent Schools, the National Council for Social Studies, and is endorsed by the Smithsonian Institution’s Office of Elementary and Secondary Education.
