Kings New York Summer Centre: Residential English Camp in New York City

The Kings New York Summer Centre runs the Kings Summer Course at the University of Mount Saint Vincent, on a green riverside campus in Riverdale, in the north of New York City. It accepts students aged 12 to 17. Programme and activities. Students take 15 hours of English lessons per week alongside a full programme of activities and excursions. The campus is on the Hudson in Riverdale — greener and calmer than Manhattan — while New York City remains accessible for the excursion programme, giving a mix of a quiet base and a world city. Accommodation. Students stay in residential campus accommodation at the University of Mount Saint Vincent, supervised by Kings residential staff. Living on campus keeps accommodation and teaching together; families should confirm room arrangements and what supervision applies outside teaching hours, though Kings provides its own staff. Ages, dates and duration. The centre accepts students aged 12 to 17. Four arrival dates are listed from late June. Location and travel. Riverdale is in the Bronx, in northern New York City, on the Hudson River. JFK, Newark and LaGuardia are all usable arrival airports, with journey times varying substantially. Families travelling from outside the US should check visa requirements well in advance, as these are not covered here. Who the programme may suit. This centre may suit families wanting a New York experience but preferring a greener, riverside campus to a Manhattan location, for a student aged 12 to 17. Kings also runs a Malibu centre on the US West Coast for families preferring California. As with any US programme, visa planning should start early, and families should confirm the airport transfer arrangements.
