Last year, the Linneman family embarked on a year-long adventure to Barcelona, Spain to have a unique cultural experience as a family. While overseas, their son, Carpenter, seamlessly continued his GAC education by utilizing Ethos online courses, ensuring he stayed on track academically.

One of Carpenter’s Ethos courses was Spanish, taught by Ms. Carmen Ibanez, who surprisingly enough, lived in Madrid. Taking advantage of their shared time in Spain, the Linneman’s made the journey – twice! – to meet Ms. Ibanez for coffee. For Ms. Ibanez, being an online teacher, this was a first: meeting one of her students in person.

The connection was a memorable experience for both Carpenter and Ms. Ibanez and exemplifies the personalized academic preparation that GAC offers.
