This is an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in the local way of life and to practise your English in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. You will stay in a single or double room with half board provided and, taking into consideration the size of the city, you will have to expect a journey of around 45-60 minutes to get to the school.

Residence (from 18 years)
For more independent students, our partner school proposes staying in a student residence. You will stay in a single or double room and you can choose to have 5 to 14 meals provided per week or live in a residence that doesn't include meals, if you prefer to cook for yourself. Our Kaplan-Aspect partner school offers 3 different residences, all located in the city centre and well served by public transport. Contact us for further information regarding the various residences to choose from.

Testimonial

Patricia Rodrigues My language course with ESL at Kaplan Empire State Building was a rich and unforgettable experience. The courses were interesting. The teacher chose topics that were thought-provoking on an intellectual level and allowed us to work on our language skills, but also to have a real intercultural debate. The students came from Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Korea and Japan. There were people from various ages in our group, which allowed for a high intellectual level and a great atmosphere.
