As a Presidential Classroom scholar, you will witness the federal government at work, interact with influential leaders and policy makers and visit renowned sites that may include the Smithsonian Museums, the U.S. Capitol, the U.S. Department of State and Arlington National Cemetery. You will also live and exchange ideas with other student leaders from the United States and abroad. Through discussion and debate on current issues and policies, you'll discover America's rich diversity and develop a deeper understanding of the issues affecting your life.

Download, print two copies (one for the student and one for the parent/guardian) and read this handbook carefully, as it provides vital information on what you need to know before you come to Presidential Classroom and what we expect from our students while in Washington, DC.
