Stars and Stripes

Stars and Stripes covers two of the most historically dense stretches of the American East Coast in six days, moving from the colonial foundations of Williamsburg, Virginia, to the monumental core of Washington, D.C. The shape of the tour is deliberate: students encounter the origins of American democracy before standing in the city that was built to embody it. That progression — from the 18th century to the present — gives the whole trip a through-line that holds up in the classroom long after the group returns home.
