I don't think MCPS have such programs. If the exist, they are organized privately by the teachers.

No personal experience with MC schools but my nephew in private spent 2 weeks abroad in high school and had a wonderful experience. I think if your child is comfortable being away for that long and you tthink he's mature enough, it will probably be a very interesting. learning experience.

My DS has an opportunity to travel to Europe for 10 days as part of his language program. Would be interested in hearing from anyone who has recent experience with an 8th grader who has participated in a similar trip through a Montgomery County Middle School.
