Presidential and Congressional Academies
Posted in CERL Research
The Academies provide high-quality educational engagement in American history and civics.
The Presidential Academy is for secondary school teachers, and the Congressional Academy is for high-need high school students. The Academies, funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, were held in 2019 and 2021. The Center for Civic Education began the 2019 Presidential Academy for teachers and Congressional Academy for high-need students with a highly successful two-week summer institute at Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland on July 7-20, 2019. Throughout the summer institute, leading scholars and mentor teachers led participants in the study of constitutional history and principles of the We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution curriculum.
