How it works and what is included

The English & Art & the City NYC group experience includes five days per week of fully immersive English language classes in NYC and 3 afternoon or evening activities each week. Every morning, you meet your teacher on location at indoor and outdoor locations across the city.

From Tuesday to Thursday, our classes explore iconic city spots and hidden destinations with class excursions, offering ample opportunities to practice speaking while discovering NYC.

On Mondays and Fridays, tailored language practice focuses on error correction. Your EO teacher addresses your specific needs, ensuring meaningful progress within a week.

EO's three topic-driven class excursions, combined with two days of tailored error correction, provide the perfect combination of language practice and NYC exploration. It's the ideal English program in NYC.
