What Students Are Saying...

One of my favorite things about the program in France is the teachers' ability to teach French. They are very well prepared and excellent teachers. I was able to take the C1 exam at the end of the year thanks to them. They always keep demanding more from us.

I loved having the opportunity to be in an incredibly nuanced country like Italy, surrounded by kind individuals who are willing to befriend and help you.

Thank you, ACA, for enriching my experience both spiritually and culturally. Thank you for bringing the best professor, Dr. Stefanovic Zdravko, to teach Biblical Hebrew and for providing me with new tools to study the Word of God. He is passionate about what he does in a Christ-centered way. You grow spiritually and enjoy learning new things as well as exploring new cultures and places.

I would love to applaud the ESDES campus professors for being some of the best humans on the face of the planet. All of them treat us like family, and they treat us with respect. God's love shines through the teachers at ESDES.

Teachers were helpful and easy to work with. The language course students were mostly integrated into the school life as much as any other local student.

The Argentinian cultures is very welcoming, so you won't feel left out. All of the trips were amazing and fun, and the staff are very friendly.

ACA Student, Argentina 2025

I came for a new adventure and experience, but I found so much more than that. In the short few months that I've been here, I have grown, I have experienced great things, and I have learned so much. I've also been able to find a whole new loving family in Christ, and I know that life will never be the same.

Spending a year abroad in Argentina was the best decision I could've made. It gave me the opportunity to improve and practice my Spanish, and now I can say that I'm fluent in Spanish. The ACA staff were very welcoming and kind and made the whole experience 10 times better... During my time in Argentina I got to travel and explore, gain confidence in my second language, and make amazing, lifelong friends. I'm so glad I went, and I can't wait to go back and visit.

This program offers plenty of ways to learn, friendly professors, and an intimate learning experience... Bogenhofen has a strong spiritual component, loving teachers, and a beautiful campus.

I decided to attend Collonges because I've heard so many great things about the ACA experience from family and friends. I love how you're able to travel and experience new cultures, while at the same time be fully immersed in your target language.

Mari Weber (PUC)

Coming to Italy with ACA has been a dream come true. I have wanted to study abroad for years, and this experience is everything that I had hoped for. I have met incredible people, seen many new beautiful places during our travels, and learned a lot along the way. I know this year has been and will continue to be a year of growth and new experiences, and I'm so grateful for it.

Ellie Britain (UC)

This has been an incredible experience, marking my first summer in Seoul. The warmth of the teachers and the bonds formed with friends made it truly special. Immersing myself in genuine Korean culture beyond the classroom enhanced both my language skills and cultural understanding. It goes beyond memorizing words; it's about embracing the essence of the language.

Jason Park, South Korea

Being in Spain and being able to learn a language while also immersing myself in the culture has been eye-opening. I realized that it is nothing like learning a language in the States. I have noticed my Spanish vocabulary growing and it is very exciting to see myself go from barely speaking to now being capable of holding a conversation. I have been given the opportunity to travel to places I didn't imagine myself going to until I graduated college. God has blessed me in so many ways and I am beyond grateful for the experience thus far.
