Throughout the program, students will learn about some of the cultural traditions, history, climate and politics of the United States, including how over 23,000 people work at the Pentagon alone! After exploring the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, students will visit the Washington National Cathedral before sitting down in a diner for some typical American fare: cheeseburgers and French fries.
