Language school New York, Queens campus

School

A stone’s throw away from Manhattan, this 31-hectare campus provides modern university facilities in a typical high school environment. The contemporary red brick buildings are surrounded by large green spaces and you will find a campus shop and some welcoming cafés and restaurants on campus where you can meet up with your new friends. You will attend English classes in the morning, which leaves plenty of time for sports and cultural activities in the afternoon and in the evening. In this relaxed atmosphere, qualified teachers will follow your progress and motivate you to learn English. Since you will be communicating in English at all times, with all of the other participants from the whole world. The campus is safe and its exceptional location will allow you to explore THE place to discover: New York!

Accommodation

Residence
You will be staying on campus in a comfortable residence. In this way, you will have everything on-site and experience the life of an American student. You will be accommodated in a double room and share the bathroom with other students. You will take the three meals in the residence cafeteria. If you go on an excursion, you will receive a packed lunch. In the residence, you will also take advantage of student rooms where you can relax, play cards or chat with the other participants. You will soon know lots of other international students who will be sharing this New York experience with you! Supervision is ensured 24/24 by the school staff that stays in the same residence.

Leisure

Everyday, the school organises activities that go from an orienteering race to a karaoke night, or else a talent show. Together with the other international students, you will spend pleasant evenings on campus. Besides, you will be supervised by the experienced staff of the school in order to discover New York in the best possible conditions. It is during guided excursions that you will explore the city, where you will be able to visit the Empire State Building, the Grand Central Station, Macy’s department store, Central Park or else the Natural History Museum. A visit to Wall Street is also scheduled, as well as a shopping trip to Soho or a pizza evening in Little Italy. The Rockefeller Centre and 5th Avenue will add to the fun. Other visits will be devoted to the Flushing Meadows Stadium or to the Queens Museum of Art. Finally, Sundays will allow you to relax with your friends on campus, unless you would prefer to take part in an optional activity. You will return home with hundreds of pictures and memories of a lifetime!

English + dance & performing arts
Like Broadway stars, you will have a chance to express your artistic talents thanks to this optional activity, to be booked prior to departure. Be the star of the show!

Passport info
If you are of Swiss or European nationality, no visa is necessary to participate in the programme, insofar as you are in possession of a valid biometric passport which is valid for at least six months following your return date, in accordance with current legislation. Nevertheless, students need to get an electronic travel authorisation, to be completed online a minimum of one week prior to departure (credit card necessary to pay for US administration file handling fees). Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.

Flight info
New York is a great destination for a language study trip abroad. However, you must know that the journey to get there is relatively long with, generally, one stopover, depending on which city you are flying from. Most airline companies will be able to offer you an accompaniment service; therefore do not hesitate to contact us for further information. It is necessary, however, that the student feels capable of managing this long journey. Then, all he/she has left to do is to enjoy American life!
