New for 2008

We're excited to tell you about what's new for 2008!

Life-changing!

“Everything was perfect. My family was great, they were really nice and they took me with them everywhere. The program was very well organised and the chaperones always took care of us and often called us to check we were ok. We did many activities and I think we saw absolutely everything of San Francisco. Besides, I improved my English a lot because I could speak English all the time, not only with my American family but also with the group because it was formed by students from all over Europe.”
