Abbey Road is committed to its students’ safety and enforces a clear set of safety rules and guidelines.
Staff supervise most activities and are available via a staff mobile phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Abbey Road staff are always available to walk or drive students home, arrange doctor's visits, or help students communicate with their host families.
“The supervision was everything a parent would hope for their child,” said Andrea Kinnard, whose daughter Lizzy went to Saint-Laurent-du-Var with Abbey Road in 2009. “At the same time, the teachers and counselors were personable, fun and kind.”
“The RA's were, according to Sarah, top class and very supportive and professional,” said Bill Placke, whose daughter Sarah went to Florence with Abbey Road in 2004.
Lorrie Latzen, whose daughter Elena went on Abbey Road’s Nice program in 2009, commented upon the kindness of Abbey Road staff to their students.
“I am so grateful to you for this experience, and I know that she is safe and is being educated well,” Latzen wrote to the Abbey Road staff during her daughter’s trip.
“I am a fan,” said Paula Burchill, who sent her daughter Lara Mirgorod to Verona with Abbey Road in 2007. “Lara learned so much in the program and was well-supervised—something parents of teens always worry about.”
“I’m so glad I went on this trip because it provided a safe environment in which I could learn, make new friends, and be immersed in a culture and language different than my own,” said Anne Goodman of her experience in Cádiz in 2009.
“I had a lot of reservations about sending my daughter, Alice, to Italy,” admits Sarah Cook (not her real last name), whose daughter went to Florence with Abbey Road in 2007. “However, Abbey Road took all my concerns seriously and dealt with them in the most professional and caring way. Alice came back a changed child. She loved the program and it broadened her ‘college and future plans focus.’ I recommend Abbey Road.”
