Travel Changes Lives

For more than 30 years, ACIS has helped students and their teachers discover the world through premier travel and education.

Travel is not about seeing the Eiffel Tower or the Great Wall.  It’s about every exhilarating moment that leads up to it, every story you tell and relive and share after. It’s about being inspired, motivated, humbled and forever changed by being there.

At ACIS, we go to extraordinary lengths to make being there the most inspiring, exciting, and educational experience possible. We’re determined to make sure your accommodations are perfect, your food is excellent, and your tour manager is charming and brilliant.  We eliminate the worries and stress, so you can focus on experiencing more. ACIS is not just about being a travel company or an education company. We’re about creating perfect opportunities so that you can get more than you ever imagined out of being there.

Financial Stability

With more than $130 million in annual revenue and worldwide assets exceeding $100 million, AIFS (American Institute for Foreign Study) is one of the most financially secure companies in educational travel. In addition, ACIS, as an Active Member of the United States Tour Operators Association, is required to post $1 million with USTOA, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the USTOA Travelers Assistance Program.
