Great Experience

This was the first time we had sent our 15-year-old out of the country by herself, and it was a wonderful experience. The team in Austin was helpful and easy to get in touch with. They walked us through the whole process and provided plenty of support. She enjoyed meeting students from different places, still keeps in touch with her homestay family, and found her new favorite foods in Oaxaca! Thank you Arcos!

My 16 year old daughter went on this program. It was excellently run and managed. This was her first solo international travel experience, and we all felt some initial trepidation. However, all the staff and individuals involved in the program were extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and welcoming. This created an excellent experience and learning opportunity for my daughter; who came back with a renewed confidence and increased appreciation of the greater world around her.

To study abroad for my kids was a great experience. They learn a new culture, try new food and practiced a new language. With Arcos Journey my kids have been in Costa Rica, Argentina and Spain. Both kids loved the whole program.
