Student Activities
Close Up Washington
Eligible Students: A select group of proficient junior and senior students
Moderator: Mr. James Walker
Meetings: Several meetings scheduled prior to travel to Washington D.C.
Close Up Washington is a unique weeklong government studies program in Washington, D.C. The students will stay in a Washington area hotel with other students and their teachers from across the United States. The intensive study of the democratic process will let students witness government in action on Capital Hill and throughout Washington D.C. During the students' action packed week, they are guided by Close Up program instructors dedicated to helping students get the most out of their learning experience. These knowledgeable educators accompany students on study visits, conduct daily small-group discussion workshops, and get to know each student individually.
