Do any Montgomery County public schools offer this type of program?

St. Andrew's offers this during their spring break. This year they went to Spain and France. My DD didn't go (she's in 7th), but we may send her next year.

Washington Episcopal School offers this.

what middle schools offer this?

Thanks PPs. My DS is mature but I was curious if 13 is too young. I think it will be a good experience.

what school was this please?

My DS has an opportunity to travel to Europe for 10 days as part of his language program. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has a Junior High student who participated in an exchange program recently. Did you feel it was worth the cost? Did they get a lot out of the experience? Anything to specifically ask prior to signing up?
