Students will enjoy 3-4 trips to historic sites per week, supplemented by dynamic classroom experiences which include keynote lectures by distinguished guest speakers, History of American Democracy case studies developed by Harvard Business School Professor David Moss, parliamentary-style debates, and other unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
