Mission Statement
INTERLINK helps students succeed in academic, professional and personal realms by providing intensive English, academic preparation and cross-cultural training. Guided by the values of quality and fairness, we promote higher order of thinking, enhanced ways of learning English, and caring and respectful attitudes, all of which contribute to individuals' academic success and personal betterment. 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 . . .
