*If a student attends the session he or she deferred to, a one-time credit of the $75 reactivation fee can be applied to the ALCI tuition of the student's first session.

 "For
the first
time since I began studying English, I am able to speak comfortably.
The social activities that ALCI organizes have given me the
chance to practice English in a fun way. I enjoy hanging out
with students from other countries and learning about different
cultures. ALCI instructors are friendly and helpful. The classroom
activities are interesting and help to prepare students for university courses."
