Experience of a lifetime!

I had the time of my life on ACA Barcelona! I met amazing new friends and participated in so many cool and exciting electives and activities! The weekends were filled with fun trips. We got to see so much of Spain and we even went to the French Riviera. The staff were amazing and always helped and supported us. The hotel where we stayed was very nice and in the best location! I loved going to the beach, shopping on Las Ramblas, going to Park Guell, the Picasso Museum, and hanging out in the Gothic Quarter. This program helped me become more independent and help me feel more prepared for college. Best summer ever!!!

Worst Summer program EVER!

This program is a total ripoff. The counselor are not equipped to be teaching and keeping your children safe.

The program offered a beach clean-up, which was a different volunteer experience than expected.

The kids were not taught in Spanish. The trip to the south of France was miserable the kids were in a bus for 8 hours.

They claimed to have a parent night and they did not have anything planned. DO NOT send your child here, this program should be shut down for many reasons.

Cons
  • Fraudulent
  • Irresponsible
  • Grossly over priced

Barcelona ACA Summer

My experience with ACA in Barcelona was like no other! From the time we met at JFK for our group flight to the day we took the flight back home, I had the best time. Every minute was packed with activities and adventures. I met so many people from all over and will remain friends with them forever. The classes were fun and exciting. We went on a lot of field trips and got to experience real Spanish culture. The hotel was super nice and in an awesome location. I had so much fun on my trip that I went to Florence the next summer with ACA and had an even better time! The staff made both trips so fun and were very organized. I felt very safe at all times.
