PROGRAM PRINCIPLES

The INTERLINK program is guided by the principles articulated in the mission, curriculum and cross-cultural statements presented below.

Mission Statement
Global interdependence has created an unprecedented and urgent need for better communication between individuals of diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. INTERLINK Language Centers, Inc., has chosen to help meet that need by committing its talents and energies to the intensive teaching of English, to cultural orientation, and to academic preparation for those from other societies wishing to work or study in the United States. more . . .

Curriculum Statement
From its inception, INTERLINK’s goals have been broader and deeper than those of typical English language programs. Fostering cultural awareness, personal growth and academic readiness has been as important to INTERLINK as improving students’ linguistic skills. This curriculum views learning not as the accumulation of data but as a dynamic process of personal growth. more . . .

Cross-Cultural Statement
INTERLINK directors and teachers help students open wide the beckoning windows and doors of Possibility. English language acquisition is the lever. Cross-cultural learning is the view beyond. At INTERLINK, we invite and prepare the student to begin a life-long pilgrimage of learning. It must begin well. Linguistic competency and academic skills provide important preparation. But beyond these, INTERLINK's Mission Statement calls on us to help our students learn to "bridge those precious differences that give us roots and rudders in an ever shrinking and restless world." more . . .
