Discover America
in Washington, DC.
Wellington, FL homeschool families from the local Classical Conversations community have the pleasure of inviting you to Washington, DC from May 11–14, 2027. This independent family-organized trip is not an official Classical Conversations corporate trip. Everyone should arrive in the afternoon on May 11; the DC portion will conclude in the morning on May 14 so families can travel home.
Our trip materials follow a classical Protestant Christian approach: Scripture, prayer, careful observation, truthful history and thoughtful family discussion. Students practice narration and look for opportunities to show gratitude, courage and love of neighbor.
Join us for four days of American history and shared family learning in Washington, DC. Detailed schedules, reservation notes and student field guides are reserved for registered families.
This website will be updated frequently throughout the year and as the trip approaches. Please save it as a bookmark! We look forward to making this our best field trip yet.
