What we like about the school
  • Exclusive student access to a fitness center and dance studio on campus.
  • Indoor swimming pool
  • One of the oldest English schools in New York founded in 1965
What we dislike about the school
  • Lessons are 40 minutes long, which is shorter than in other schools.

Location: EF International Language Center New York is located on the outskirts of the famous city of New York, USA. The school is housed on a massive 25 acres of grounds in Tarrytown, around a 90-minute train journey from downtown Manhattan. The school campus is a 10-minute walk from local shops, cafés and restaurants, allowing for a comfortable and unique experience to be had by all. Attractions such as the Empire State Building, the Rockefeller Center, Central Park, the Empire State Building and the MOMA Museum are all within a train journey of the school, Grand Central Train station being around a 60-minute trip from Tarrytown Station. JFK International Airport is within 100-minutes of the school via public transport.

School facilities: The facilities of EF New York are excellent and exceed the expectations of many adult and junior students. Due to the large size of the school's campus, 25 acres, and the slightly remote location of the school in Tarrytown, students receive facilities such as an on-site fitness centre, an indoor swimming pool, a large landscaped garden an outdoor space, as well as a dance studio. The school also has a cafeteria, auditorium, kitchen use for students, a computer lab and a student support desk for any questions or queries that may arise.

Course selection: Course selection offers something for students of all ages. Throughout the year, adult students have General English, Business, Exam Preparation (FCE, CAE, CPE, IELTS) and Internship programmes with local industries. Junior programmes are available as Immersive or day programmes at various times throughout the year.

School chain: EF was founded in Sweden over 55 years ago. It has since then helped millions of people experience new cultures, see new places and learn new things about the world and about themselves. Across the globe, they have more than 600 schools and offices in over 50 countries, delivering the best in education and student care throughout all locations. As a group, EF has hubs in Boston, London, Barcelona, Mexico City, São Paulo, Shanghai, Stockholm, Zürich, and more!

EF understands that language programmes can be much more than the sole process of learning a language, as cultural immersion and diversity play a key part in any student's educational and life development.

Throughout the EF schools, programmes are readily available to adults and juniors, for career, personal and educational development.

Taking place on EF New York’s Tarrytown campus, classes of international students from all over the world work on advancing their language skills with the 26 weekly lessons on the popular General English course.

The curriculum used by this school is intended to allow you to apply your English knowledge to any situation, including academic and professional contexts. To ensure that you are working in a group that’s right for you, EF asks you to complete their online placement test before getting started. Once enrolled in your General English course, you will be assessed again every 5 weeks to measure your progress - this is a feature that makes students feel like the school cares.

You will be given 4 Special Interest Lessons, allowing you to ask your teacher to work on specific topics that are most relevant to you, such as exam preparation for example.

There is more to EF New York than just studying though; you will be able to take advantage of their swimming pool, gym and dance suite, as well their days out to places of interest such as the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
