Washington & New York

 
landing_banner

A visit to the USA will enable students to study more than 200 years of American History. Choose to visit either city or even combine them both!

Given the huge scale of this vast country it is fortunate that nearly all the major themes of American history studied in British schools are amply reflected in the, by American standards, comparatively compact area of the two great cities of Washington and New York and the area in between. From revolution and independence, the civil wars, the roaring twenties, the 1929 crash, the new Deal to the Civil Rights movement and more recent politics it is all there.

Curriculum Focus

 
  • The War of Independence
  • The American Civil War
  • The Roaring Twenties - from economic boom to the Wall St Crash and its consequences
