Over the next ten days, these students will visit host American homes, stay in R-MA dormitories, audit classes with their R-MA host students, visit the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, UDVAR-Hazy Air and Space Museum, Skyline Drive, Luray Caverns, visit the White House and the US Capitol, as well as various local Front Royal attractions.
If you encounter these students on our streets or other locations, R-MA and Royal Examiner ask that you make them feel welcome.
