2026 Trip Details
We are excited to announce that we will lead a group of 8th grade students on a EF Tours program to Washington, D.C. On this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, students will explore our nation’s most important historical sites and experience incomparable learning moments. This will be a trip that your child will be talking about for years to come!
Your child will return home excited to tell you about:
Standing where Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial
Discovering the true meaning of sacrifice at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Walking in the footsteps of our great leaders on Capitol Hill
Exploring numerous Smithsonian Museums, like the National Museum of Natural History and the National Air and Space Museum, and Much More.
