U.S. Capitol Building

While everyone is settling in for a snowy day or two in the Berkshires, BCD’s Seventh Grade is eagerly anticipating their five-day class trip to Washington, D.C in three weeks.  Carefully planned and enthusiastically led by members of the Upper School faculty, the itinerary is impressive.  Students return each year and share that the trip was inspiring and informative, not to mention engaging, full, and fun.  While final plans are still being made, the following lists (in alphabetical versus chronological order) some of the sites and experiences that have been planned for our students this year:
