International Christian Institute & Linguistics School

School Introduction

International Christian Institute & Linguistics School is a SEVIS approved school located on the Southwest side of Houston. We welcome F-1 students and other visa holders who wish to change to F-1 visa status. We are a small community of about 250 students and 20 staff members. We have added temporary parking spaces in the recent months to accommodate our growth and we are now undergoing construction to remodel our parking lots. ICI is a non-smoking campus. We respect our students and simply ask to go across the street when they need to smoke.
