Trip to Washington, D.C.
In their final year at Carlthorp, students travel to Washington, D.C., for an immersive experience that brings history and civics to life. Highlights include visits to the Capitol, White House, and Supreme Court as well as powerful storytelling moments at the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and Ford’s Theater. Alongside these experiences, students engage with lawmakers, explore iconic memorials, and reflect on the people and movements that have shaped the nation — deepening their understanding of democracy as they prepare for the next chapter.
