Tell me, and I will forget.  Show me, and I will remember. 
Involve me, and I will understand.  - Confucius

Live It Learn It's mission is to boost student academic achievement and motivation by supplementing conventional classroom instruction with rigorous, academically-focused trips to DC's world-class resources.

Live It Learn It uses experiential learning to make education relevant and engaging.  The centerpiece of each Live It Learn It program is an academic trip to one of DC's tremendous local resources.  All programs are tied to DC's academic learning standards, are interdisciplinary in nature, and feature rigorous pre- and post-trip classroom lessons and assessments.  Each student takes part in three trips and six pre- and post-trip classroom lessons over the course of the school year.
