ALP students are from all around the world
ALP students have had an incredible variety of experiences and adventures before arriving here at our classes. We honor all that they've accomplished, endured, and overcome, and all that they continue to put into their education here in Alaska. We're blessed to learn as much from our students as we teach them.
First languages spoken and countries or origin only tell part of the story, but it is fascinating data nonetheless. Please enjoy these last few years of information about our students.
