SUMMER PROGRAMS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Summer RISE (Reimagining an Innovative Student Experience) is an initiative of Montgomery County Public Schools, implemented in collaboration with businesses, government agencies, higher education institutions, and nonprofit organizations. The program is for rising MCPS juniors and seniors to participate in a career-based learning opportunity during the summer. Students will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning opportunities related to their field of interest. The 2026 program will run for five weeks, from June 22nd through July 24th, with a minimum of 50 hours of either in-person, virtual or a combination of the two experiences.
Military Summer Programs
Students who have an interest in learning about opportunities to attend a U.S. Service Academy for college are encouraged to apply to participate in a summer program. Each Academy’s summer program provides a week-long immersion into the academic, military, and social life of that Academy. The Academies are ranked among the top undergraduate public universities in the country.
Participation in a summer program is considered a student’s first step in navigating their future to becoming one of our nation’s next generation of leaders. Summer programs introduce one to life at an Academy, where they will experience first-class academic, athletic, and professional training at one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the country.
Summer program applications are now being accepted for the U.S. Military Academy (Summer Leaders Experience, West Point, New York), U.S. Naval Academy (Summer Seminar, Annapolis, Maryland), and U.S. Coast Guard Academy (AIM Summer Program, New London, Connecticut).
