I have been working with GAT for four years now and our school has a history with the company that dates back nearly 10 years! Each experience has been better than the last. The response from returning students is overwhelmingly positive! As we start up the school year each year, the students are excited to know when the trip will be so they can save the date. Some of my students will rarely get 50 miles from their home during their lifetime, so this is a tremendous opportunity to see the rest of the world. I enjoy showing them the opportunities out there. By staying in contact with the students in high school, they have told me that some of their college choices were influenced by the trip. They were able to find colleges the did not want to go to as well as some that they did. GAT provides a remarkable experience the students never forget! - Scott Wiessner
