Sixth Form & FE Trips To Washington

We understand the immense value of hands-on learning experiences beyond the classroom, and that's why we have carefully crafted an array of captivating and enriching itineraries for students of all ages. 

Washington is a fantastic walking city and an iconic destination for Sixth Form and FE college student group trips for History, Law and Politics.

Don’t forget, New York isn’t too far away. We recommend taking your students on a two centre trip to get value for money.

History

Top Attractions

Home to the Congress, Whitehouse, Pentagon and Supreme Court, among myriad other famous monuments and sites including the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Cemetery, a Washington tour is particularly great for history students but still delivers on all levels.

The American capital also plays host to a wonderful range of galleries and museums, such as the Smithsonian, which are free to visit and will surely inspire groups studying a range of subjects. Students studying Art & Design might wish to visit the American Art Museum, which could be twinned with a trip to New York for a once in a lifetime experience.

Other experience options include a visit to the US Capitol or The Pentagon for Law & Politics students, or a trip to the National Air and Space Museum for Science & Technology students.
