For a parent with a student who struggles with large classes, or with a student who needs personalized attention, the ALC is perfect. Since starting at ALC my child has thrived and excelled. Before it was a struggle to attend school, but not anymore. And graduation is on track. The teachers are wonderful and caring. 5 stars!
