ARCC Gap Wins 2023 “Best Support” Gap Year Award

Written by: ARCC Staff

The results of the GoOverseas 2023 Community Choice Awards are in and ARCC Gap is excited to announce that we have been recognized as a “Top Gap Year Provider for Support” in 2023!

What an honor to receive this award, especially considering ARCC’s Gap Year programs are often the first time students are traveling outside of their home country for an extended period of time. We are humbled that families trust us to make their student’s gap semester an educational, fulfilling, culturally immersive, risk managed, and fun experience they will never forget.

We pride ourselves on supporting our students throughout every step of their ARCC Gap Semester. From open communication throughout your application, to coordination assistance during your travels, and unwavering encouragement even after your journey comes to a close, our staff is there for every student that entrusts us with their gap year experience.

We’ve always believed that supporting our students and families with the logistics of a gap semester is of the utmost importance and we are so pleased to see that our alumni families agree!

Here’s what alumni families have to say about the support they received while attending an ARCC Gap Semester.

“We were so pleased with ARCC. We feel that ARCC is a well oiled machine and we would recommend an ARCC program to anyone! ARCC does an awesome job of preparing families and the students, engaging in meaningful programs with partners, ensuring the safety of the students at all times and making sure the students have fun along the way. We loved the education aspect too.”

“Anna’s experience with ARCC has been outstanding! 10 out of 10, from the application process to the last day of the ARCC semester. This was such a positive and enriching experience where she made great gains in her personal growth and self confidence. As her parents, we can’t thank you enough for providing Anna with this once-in-a-lifetime and unforgettable experience! Your exceptional communications to us throughout the semester definitely put us at ease.”
— Parent of Anna B., ARCC Gap Alum, Reading, MA

We had a terrific experience with ARCC. The communication was stellar. We knew exactly what we needed to do at every moment in order to prepare for the trip. While the kids were abroad, the home office continuously kept us up to date. They also made us feel that we could call if there were any issues at all. The instructors on the trip were supportive yet still empowered the kids to find their own way. This trip was intended to help our son to grow his level of independence. The trip did exactly what we were hoping.”
