Program Overview

Program Description:

LSI New York is based at the Manhattan campus of the Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY), located Downtown in SoHo, near the Financial district, with Chinatown, Tribeca and Greenwich Village all within walking distance.

As well as being a friendly and welcoming place to learn English and interact with international and American students, LSI New York offers students access to all the art, theatre, shopping and entertainment that makes the Big Apple the greatest city in the world. If you want to learn English in the United States, New York has it all.

Our language school features bright and spacious classrooms with spectacular views across Manhattan.

Facilities include a first class library, two computer rooms with free internet access and a student lounge where you can relax when not studying for exams. You will have every opportunity to mix with American students as well as international students.

LSI New York is one of the designated ESL programmes for students taking classes at MCNY, which means that students can enroll in MCNY classes for up to six credits while studying at LSI, or transfer into MCNY’s undergraduate or graduate degree programmes without providing a TOEFL score so long as they’ve completed LSI’s advanced course.

The accelerated design of MCNY’s courses means that students can complete an MBA in as little as one year of study.


General language courses at LSI provide language training in a group environment. These programmes will improve all areas of your language skills. You can also choose to specialise in a number of different areas.
During Standard lessons you rapidly improve your communication skills in a variety of everyday situations. In 2 lessons each day you will cover the following areas: grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation. In a further 2 lessons you concentrate on: speaking, listening, reading, writing. You use a text book and a wide variety of materials and exercises including roleplays, authentic materials, newspapers and magazines.

We are also committed to providing the latest technology inside the classroom. We utilise the most cutting edge audio, video and web based resources.

Cultural Exchange:
We are proud of and committed to the cultural exchange that happens within our centres. As you ‘learn and live the language’ you will gain a greater understanding of the country that you are studying in. And as our students come from all over the world, our centres are not just places to learn languages, but are also places to meet people from other backgrounds and cultures. This is why our students find our programme to be such an enriching experience.
