Classes are held at the Baobab Training and Resource Center, a comfortable setting conducive to both serious study and friendly contact and communication with other students and Senegalese staff. All of our home-stay families are located within walking distance of the Center.

Our training center recently consolidated into two adjacent locations and is well equipped to meet the learning needs of our students. Located in SICAP Baobab, a suburb of Dakar with access to small shops and neighborhood restaurants, ACI’s facilities have seven classrooms, a conference room (available for rental), office space, Wi-Fi access, a central court yard where students and teachers gather for lunch each day, and kitchens for food preparation. The Center also provides students with filtered drinking water. A youth cooperative has a permanent exhibit of original batiks for sale in the court yard and other artisans occasionally display their art work, clothing and jewelry.

"...the Baobab Center was a helpful and comforting place to visit when I was in Dakar some years ago to research my undergraduate thesis. I still remember it fondly! "
