OUR MISSION

To teach, motivate, and empower individuals curious about American Sign Language and Deaf culture. Sign Language Center supports your ASL-learning experience and your desire for human connection, no matter where you are in the world. Sign Language Center was created with all students of all abilities in mind. Our goal is to be a steward of American Sign Language and spread awareness of Deaf Gain concepts -- bridging the gap between the Hearing and the Deaf communities.

The environment at SLC nurtures non-competitive, conversation-driven, and student-centered learning. Our instructors are all Native Deaf individuals who come from a variety of cultural backgrounds. We are proud to be the only Deaf-owned ASL school in the nation. SLC looks forward to signing with you!
