The National Constitution Center provides engaging and informative educational experiences to students across the United States through our virtual programs. These programs ensure that young learners can explore history, engage in constitutional conversations, and deepen their understanding of both history and the Constitution in a dynamic and accessible way.
Scholar Exchanges
Scholar Exchanges give middle and high school students the opportunity to discuss constitutional topics with a lawyer, judge, or constitutional scholar. Classes can choose from an extensive range of topics and engage directly with an expert in an interactive setting, deepening their understanding of the Constitution.

I love using Scholar Exchanges to reinforce course concepts! My students can ask questions that the visiting scholar can then discuss with the class...Every topic is well thought out and presented extremely well, combining factual information and storytelling.-Brittany M., Teacher Advisory Council member, Texas
Civic Stories is an amazing program that enriches my classroom content. The interactive session encourages engagement and active participation, helping students to grasp complex concepts in a relatable way.

The wrap-up cultivated knowledge, respect for diversity, and a sense of responsibility, setting the foundation for informed and engaged future citizens.-Shelby L., social studies teacher, Virginia
