Union Station Politics Tour 6
The seat of power of arguably the most powerful country in the world cannot fail to inspire students of Politics. Washington’s grand buildings, parks and monuments present a calm and ordered façade, the antithesis of the political debates that take place within. Without doubt the city’s political significance dominates the Washington landscape and is therefore the ideal destination for a study trip.

It’s very difficult to put into words how much fun we had, the students that I teach come from one of the most socially deprived areas in the north west so to be able to give them this opportunity was amazing. Thank you for helping me create my dream. Gateacre School
