🌟 Building Community Through Language 🌟

We're proud to celebrate one of our Intensive English Program students, who recently earned 🏅🏅 two medals at a regional jiu-jitsu competition after joining Team Link Northampton - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

At ILI, learning English is about more than what happens in the classroom. It's about finding opportunities to connect with others, pursue your interests, and become part of the local community.

We're grateful to Team Link for welcoming our student and providing a place where he could challenge himself, build friendships, and achieve this exciting milestone.

Congratulations on your hard work and success, Matías! We can't wait to see what you accomplish next! 👏🥋

🍦 It was a hot week in Northampton, so our Intensive English Program students and staff decided it was the perfect time for a frozen yogurt break at GoBerry 'n Cream!

One of the things we love most about ILI is that learning doesn't only happen in the classroom. Sharing experiences, exploring our community, and spending time together are all part of the journey.

Thank you to GoBerry for helping us cool off and enjoy a fun afternoon downtown. We are grateful to be part of such a welcoming community. 💙
