Our week culminated in Charleston, where we visited the Slave Mart Museum in the morning. It was a very powerful experience, as the walls are built by the bricks made by slaves. To hear that slaves were sometimes walked more than 20 miles a day...
While the Magical History Tour has been going on, we've been doing SOMe really aweSOMe activities here at the schoolhouse with the students who didn't participate in the trip. On Tuesday, the boys and Hunter biked to Putt'n Around to play 32 holes of mini golf! During...
Unfortunately, we weren't the good luck charms for UNC that the Russell family hoped we'd be. After the amazing breakfast they hosted for us at their even more amazing home this morning in Raleigh, we really thought all that good mojo would secure the Championship....
Today, the coaches successfully pulled off what has come to be known as Operation Yorktown, a belated April Fools Day surprise day off from our history studies and a chance to unwind on some windy roller coasters! The students were briefed on the bus on our...

We arrived at our hotel in Alexandria at 2pm, quickly turned around and headed to the Newseum. Whoa! What an incredible place! The 90 minutes we had wasn't nearly enough, but we got to learn a lot in the short time! Of course Gavin couldn't help...
We went back in time today to the start of our nation's history. Our morning kicked off at Jamestown, easily one of the best and most engaging museums around! Our tour guide, Suzanne, was absolutely amazing! We walked through the museum exhibits and learned about...
We woke up in Savannah to amazing weather! The Clubhouse split off from the high school and hit the Georgia Railroad Museum and got some awesome street food for lunch (hello duck curry for under $10!) The high schoolers toured the Savannah College of Art &...

We leave on Tuesday! Space of Mind's 6th-12th graders will be traveling up the East Coast this Spring to visit many of the historic places we’re learning about through this year's integrated curriculum theme, "Our Living American History." We will be documenting our journey through photos...
