My children, Henry and Caroline have been Sol Abroad participants on three occasions over the last several years. Caroline to Mexico and Henry to Mexico and Costa Rica. As a result of her experiences, Caroline actually majored in Spanish in college along with Poly Sci. It was because of SOL that Henry and Caroline had the confidence to do the Macchu Picchu trek by themselves several years ago, taking the more obscure and difficult Salkantay Trail. Fly to Liima, go to Cusco, arrange the guides, do the trek, come back. No assistance from from us. . . . Perfecte! "

This program was a wonderful fit for our daughter mainly because the Director, Eva, was so good at her job. When Makayla needed advice it turned out that she was hearing the same message from us that she was hearing from Eva. There was a good balance of personal responsibility, self reliance and support. I think that was the highlight that shaped our daughter. Also, our daughters Spanish is much improved. Not one whole grade (not really sure why -- maybe because she wasn't switched into private classes until weeks into the program) but much better. "

Thanks to Eva for helping Morgan sort out the immigration issue (resulting in a missed flight) on his departure. A lot of drama but no problem in the end. Without Eva it might of been a lot worse. "

We chose Sol because it focused exclusively on one language, with four different locations. Your program had focused school work. She didn't waste time sight seeing all of the time. The staff in Austin was wonderful in the run up to departure. There was a lot of paper work, but they were very efficient and accommodating. I researched their reputation and found very good reviews.

Initially we were researching year-long programs and we needed a program that could accomodate a vegan diet. AFS couldn't accommodate us, which lead us to Sol Abroad! "

We researched Sol on many different websites and found that it had the best feedback for what we were looking for within our budget. Small group of 25 max, Spanish classes, director on site, host family, small town. Everything was very well organized. "
