Scholar Exchanges

2024-2025 Scholar Exchanges

Our Scholar Exchanges give students the opportunity to discuss constitutional topics with a lawyer, judge, or constitutional scholar and their peers from around the country. In this setting, students gain deeper constitutional understanding and engage in enhanced civil discourse.

Sessions are free and open to classes ranging from elementary school to college.

Select topics are offered at any time throughout the year. Additional topics are featured on a monthly or seasonal basis.

Sessions are scheduled on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, at times that work for teachers and their students. When at all possible, classes are scheduled with other grade-level appropriate groups from around the country to increase opportunities for students to engage with other students of different perspectives.

If you have any questions as you schedule your Scholar Exchange, please feel free to reach out to the Education Team at [email protected].
