Could you pass the civics test to become a United States citizen? To pass, new Americans must learn the answers to 128 questions about American history and government. They also must navigate an incredibly complex system of paperwork, interviews and more.

Our Citizenship Class sets our students up for success by helping them with every step of the process, from learning the 128 answers to understanding legal terms to finding parking near their testing center. We’ve never seen success like this before. Last December our student, Jaime from El Salvador, passed the interview and exam in the morning and was sworn in as a new citizen in the afternoon!

Jaime isn’t just a new citizen. According to him, he’s part of a new family.

“I would like to tell you that all the teachers at The ILC are beautiful, they’re beautiful persons. They’re people who will always ask you about how you’re feeling, how you’re doing, how your family is, how you’re doing with your job. Other schools wouldn’t do that. The ILC is different because they make you feel like you’re part of their family.”

You’re part of the family too. Without your support, there would be no “ILC family.” Thank you for your ongoing support to help future Americans achieve their dreams.
