Flexible
ALPS adapts to each student’s scheduling needs and caters to students of every level.
Practical

Since the Lebanese learn Spoken Arabic in the home and not in school it can be difficult to find a good curriculum. ALPS textbooks have been developed by linguistic specialists, perfected through years of experience, and proven to produce great results.
