Welcome

Now in our 40th year, Presidential Classroom relies on educators who submit nominations that will present a life-changing, enriching opportunity to those students who will learn, grow and excel after completing the premier non-profit civic education and youth leadership development program in Washington, D.C.

Presidential Classroom responds in a proactive way to the crisis of disengagement and disinformation affecting many of today’s students who lack understanding about the basics of democracy: the Constitution and Bill of Rights; separation of powers; campaigns and elections; legislative process; the roles and functions of the executive branch; and the role of the embassy and ambassadors. Presidential Classroom provides the next generation of civic leaders with an extraordinary academic and leadership development experience in Washington, D.C.

Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.
