Community Classes

Language brings our community together

Our ASL program is proudly Deaf-led, with all Deaf instructors with training, ensuring you receive an authentic and immersive experience rooted in the rich history and culture of the Deaf community.

Our ASL classes are designed to be approachable, accommodating your busy schedule, and providing a supportive learning environment.

We use the True-Way Curriculum, an accredited program that adheres to the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages.

TRUE+WAY ASL (TWA) is a technology-driven curriculum that provides online videos and interactive activities. TWA’s main objective is to promote real-world conversations related to students' daily lives with the goal of students being able to converse with Deaf people in the community.

We offer courses from levels ASL 1 to ASL 3. In addition to our courses, we provide access to your portal for one year to keep practicing, and we offer online tutoring in multiple categories to help you improve your ASL skills. Because we use TWA, you will have access to review your coursework whenever you need, and forever after purchase.
