Course description

Our Summer Camp program is located on the gorgeous park-like campus of St. John’s University in a residential part of Queens - one of five boroughs that make up New York City. Our
students live, study, and eat most of the meals here.
The nearly 102-acre campus in Queens features a beautiful broad lawn, stone buildings, ultramodern student residence halls, high-tech classroom buildings, athletic facilities, and last but not least the most spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline. St. John’s lies within easy reach of Manhattan, allowing our guests to visit the magnificent places of interest NYC has to offer.

We are within a walking distance or a quick bus ride to the subway that will take you to the heart of the city in just 30 minutes.

Classes

It is our priority at YES USA that our students excel in English. Our experienced and qualified teachers will ensure that students don’t just improve their English but also have fun doing it. Learners have interesting and motivating discussions with their teacher and classmates, play educational games, and learn about life in the USA and New York in particular. The focus of our program is on developing conversation and communication skills. Students make quick progress in their fluency and speaking accuracy through constant interaction with teachers and other students in their class.

All classrooms are modern and well equipped and located in the same building as the accommodations.

Meals

The program includes the following meals:
• Lunch on campus on weekdays
• Daily dinners in local eateries or on campus.

Excursions

Our NYC program is packed with excursions and activities. Students have a unique possibility to see the main attractions, which are within a walking distance from the campus or just a short ride on the train.
Our friendly activity leaders will introduce you to the city that never sleeps, share their knowledge of one of the best cities in the world, its culture and history.

"It was one of the best experiences I've had in my life."

First of all, finding where the classes will be was hard but the rest of my experience was amazing.I had the chance to meet students from all over the world.Our teacher made our classes fun and informative at the same time.We were both able to do cultural activities and school stuff.I think the course not only made my English level better, but also made me more confident about talking English in the class.
