ACA is a leader in pre-college summer enrichment programs in the United States and Europe. Please keep in mind that we are looking for someone who can work with educators, high school students and families to reinforce the advantages of the ACA experience, help coordinate and participate in activities, and contribute creatively to the overall experience of the students. ACA employees must be mature, responsible, caring, creative, conscientious, and hard working. Most importantly they must love what they do and love working with teenagers.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this questionnaire. We look forward to another great summer at American Collegiate Adventures and your feedback will play a critical role in our success.
