Mount Vernon isn’t just another trip to Washington, D.C. — it’s a historic, immersive environment designed to inspire reflection, purpose, and leadership. As the home of George Washington, Mount Vernon offers a one-of-a-kind setting that’s worlds apart from the bustle of Capitol Hill.

Located just 8 miles south of Old Town Alexandria and about 15 miles from downtown D.C., Mount Vernon combines the serenity of the Potomac River with the enduring legacy of America’s first president. This program takes place entirely on the estate grounds, surrounded by history, nature, and meaningful spaces that bring leadership principles to life. While you learn and engage at Mount Vernon, you’ll stay just up the road in charming Old Town Alexandria, a charming, waterfront community known for its cobblestone streets, 18th-century architecture, and vibrant dining scene. The combination offers a unique balance of reflection and connection, rooted in place and purpose.
