A stronghold in the history of the United States of America, Washington DC bore witness to the many meetings between the Founding Fathers. In the eyes of America and the world, it symbolises at the same time the independence of the United States and their attachment to the Old Continent. The Potomac River passes almost right in front of the school and Theodore Roosevelt Island is just opposite it. On the other bank, you are welcomed by the prestigious George Washington University and the calm of Potomac Park. Before rushing towards a subway entrance in order to reach the cultural heart of Washington within a few minutes, take the time to stroll along the streets of Arlington, retracing the steps of the first President of the United States. The small county of Virginia, privileged neighbour of Washington DC, is distinguished by its highly multicultural population who are among the best educated in the country. On leaving the school grounds, discover the most prominent building in Arlington, the Pentagon. go for a walk through the two hundred parks of the county, take a bike ride or a walk along the more than 100km of pathways, get the most out of the art and history of the cultural establishments, don't miss out on the elegant shopping areas and finish your day in one of the highly appreciated restaurants of the surrounding area...
