Woodson does a trip to Europe every spring break (I think this year was Italy?)

Oakton absolutely does this. There's a trip to Europe this summer. Kids have to be approved (basically nobody with discipline problems) and parents pay.

Years ago the French dept chair at Chantilly would take students to France over the summer. She used a tour company to coordinate the itinerary, travel, lodging, and some meals. She retired, so I don’t know if another teacher does this now.

I also know a kid from Oakton who once went to London with theater over spring break (precovid) and one who went to Galapagos over spring break (also precovid). These are most definitely 100% parent pay but have to have staff to organize them--I haven't seen anything in a few years about trips except that chorus trip just 2 months ago.

SLHS German program has been participating in The German American Partnership Program (GAPP) for decades.

SLHS students go to Germany for 3 weeks -- a week or so is a homestay while they attend school and then the rest is travel around the country. German kids then come in the fall for a week or so homestay here.
