Wouldn’t my son’s Spanish or Italian improve even more at a homestay program, rather than a residence program like ACA’s?
ACA’s European and Central American programs provide cultural access that is as effective as any home-stay program, but with three distinct advantages: First, each student has access to a top-caliber bilingual staff dedicated to helping him or her improve their language skills. Next, constant peer interaction encourages collaborative study, minimizing the “culture shock” some students experience when they’re on their own. Finally, the ACA approach ensures the safety of students, while providing consistent quality of accommodations, meals and activities. These benefits are not found in home-stay programs.
