Washington D.C., our nation’s capital, is a “living classroom” sure to captivate your students! Imagine standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial with your students and gazing across the Reflecting Pool at the National Mall. Experience government and politics in action at the U.S. Capitol, White House and Supreme Court. Marvel at treasures in the Smithsonian Institution’s numerous museums. In this city of awe-inspiring monuments and memorials, students will stand in the shadow of our most famous Presidents and pay their respects to Americans who have fallen in war.

Holocaust Museum A living memorial to the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum inspires citizens and leaders worldwide to confront hatred, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity. Located among our national monuments to freedom on the National Mall, the Museum provides a powerful lesson in the fragility of freedom, and the need for vigilance in preserving democratic values. Many resources are available for teachers striving to help students learn the history of the Holocaust and reflect upon the moral and ethical questions raised by that history.

National Cathedral Come see the beautiful architecture and grounds, learn more about our history, and enjoy the spectrum of spiritual and cultural activities offered year-round by Washington National Cathedral.

The 6th largest cathedral in the world, it has no congregation, but is a house of worship honoring all faiths from around the world.

O’Brien temporary exhibit gallery; the Boeing Learning Center; and the William G. McGowan Theater. The Learning Lab provides an on-site collaborative research experience for middle school students.
