FAQs About This Tour

How do I know my student will be safe at ACA?

All ACA students stay at coed facilities staffed with 24-hour security. Each locale has been selected for its high safety standards. Students are chaperoned by ACA staff members throughout their stay. Additionally, our safety policy also requires students to travel in pairs or groups. ACA uses chartered coach and taxi services to get around town when needed, never public transportation.

Who are the staff and what are their qualifications?

All of our directors and counselors are at least 21 years of age and college graduates. Having worked extensively with high school and middle school students in the past, they genuinely look forward to their summers with ACA. All staff go through in-depth training on ACA’s philosophy, policies, safety protocols, and procedures.

Can my student bring their cellphone?

We allow students to bring their cell phones. Please contact your cell carrier to set up an international plan which will enable calling and data plans when not on WiFi on our European Programs. The use of cellphones are not allowed during classes and electives.
