New York

They call it the “world’s capital,” the “city that never sleeps,” and the “Big Apple.” All these nicknames fit, considering that New York is one of the most populous cities globally, a center of world economy, politics, international relations, culture, fashion, and show business.

To truly explore this city, you’ll need a lot of time. However, there are some places you absolutely must visit. These include the Chinese and Jewish quarters, the architecture of Manhattan, and the most famous museums – the Metropolitan and MoMA. New York boasts around 150 museums, 500 galleries, over 100 theaters, numerous department stores, and around 17,000 restaurants.

School

The Verbalists Language Network has been representing the educational group Kings Education for over 20 years. The Kings College was founded in 1980 and received accreditation from the British Council right from the start, serving as a guarantee of its quality. The rapid and successful development of this educational group was marked by the opening of language centers in London, Oxford, Bournemouth, Los Angeles, New York, and Boston. All teachers are university-educated, certified IELTS/TOEFL examiners with specializations from the University of Cambridge (CELTA, DELTA).

Kings New York is located in Riverdale, a safe and affluent part of the Bronx in New York, just a 30-minute subway ride to the center of Manhattan.

The modern language center is situated within the renowned College of Mount Saint Vincent, a liberal arts college established in 1847 and one of the five oldest colleges in New York City. Not only does the university boast a rich history, but its splendid location, unique campus, and excellent learning facilities add to its appeal. Staying at Mount Saint Vincent College provides our young participants with an ideal opportunity to experience the charms of studying in America.

The classrooms are bright and spacious, and part of the university complex includes a library with computers, sports facilities, a gym, a school restaurant, a fantastic terrace, and excellent student accommodation.
