  • About the Washington, DC Interview Tour 2018

    Every two years, juniors and seniors from Mount Madonna School travel to Washington, DC to meet with both political and NGO leaders. This is the blog for the 2018 journey.

    The goals of the “Values in World Thought” program are to develop our capacities of self-awareness and to support an ongoing inquiry into the values that inform our actions and our life purpose. We do this in order strengthen our ability to engage in positive and mutually beneficial relationships with each other and with our communities. It is our intention to support the development of the citizens the world most needs now; those who can respond with creativity and care in these changing and challenging times, and those who can balance their own needs in relationship to the needs of others in the communities of which they are part.
