George Washington: Boy Before Legend

“The guides were wonderful. They were able to work with the Special Education students and maintain the interest of the entire young class. I even learned a few things! Thank you.” - 2nd grade teacher, Bowling Green Primary School, Caroline Co., VA

This multi-disciplinary program encompasses the life of George Washington, starting from childhood. Students learn about the important role that math and science played in his future jobs—first, as a surveyor, and later, as a farmer. This program also teaches the historical significance of George Washington as a soldier, commander-in-chief, and president. The students will understand George Washington as the child, the man, the myth and the legend.
