Facilities

The ACLs school facilities are located in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by a good residential district, a fine business district and a nearby university campus. Public Transportation and shopping centers are also conveniently located near the school facilities. These factors are an essential trigger for foreign student to study English in the United State, because most of the students do not have a car for a transportation while they are studying here. Therefore the ACLs locations work very well and brings to our program a number of benefits. Classrooms are equipped with instructional aids: computers, audio cassette tape recorders and T.V. sets with DVD/VCR.
