Founded in 1995 EXTENSION PROGRAM: THE PLACE TO BE For more than 16 years the Extension Program has been offering its students an exceptional academic experience. We propose not only a high quality, full-fledged linguistic program but one that during the week also covers all the aspects of the American culture through its traditions and history. Throughout the years, we have established a reputation of excellence and hard work thanks to our team of teaching professionals whom are all mother tongue speakers and hold a teaching degree; the majority of which also hold a Masters from the United States educational system and are trained in teaching the English language and not just English as a foreign language. At the start of each Summer Camp, they prove themselves with innovation and creativity in establishing an original linguistic approach that brings out the maximum learning potential in each student in function with their aptitude while motivating them with a constructive critical eye, imagination and making them feel part of the group. Our mission: to give each language learner the necessary tools that will help them develop their individual talents and groom them into building their individual path towards success.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK Folklore states that the Dutch may have purchased the Island of Manhattan from the American Indians for a handfull of dollars and a few simple trinkets. Its nickname, « The Big Apple » comes from a variety of sources. One dates back to the 1920’s, during the Great Depression, when the Streets of New York were filled with bankers still dressed in suits yet reduced to selling apples. Another potential source is a Harlem Jazz club called « The Big Apple » that was for many musicians, the sure fast track to stardom. Broadway, one of the most famous avenues in the world, and Central Park are just two of a long list of places of interest to see in this mégapole of 8 million inhabitants. NYC is a melting pot of cultural diversity and contrasts; a symbol of wealth with its skyscrapers as big and tall as the American legend itself. On your feet ! Come with us and admire the city where one walks with their head held high.
Hip Hop Students will be encouraged to dance hip-hop as a team and improve their English while enjoying one of their favorite activities.
