Program Overview

ALI is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing education instruction, motivation, and mentoring to under-educated/underprivileged adult individuals in the DFW.

Our primary focus is to assist individuals ages 17-35 that did not graduate high school by offering a 3-6 month alternative program that allows students to earn their Texas Certificate of High School Equivalency (TxCHSE - formally GED).

ALI helps students develop a personalized learning plan in each of the core subjects: reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. This unique program outline helps motivate students to complete the program. We also offer a variety of wrap-around support services for students upon graduation such as help with college enrollment, financial aid form assistance, and employment resources.
