School Activities

May was a nice month. We enjoyed many sunny and warm days. We took a really fun trip to the Bronx Zoo, where we were able to see so many exciting and unusual wild animals.  Did you know, the Bronx Zoo opened in 1899, and is part of one of the one of the first conservation organizations in the USA.
School Activities We also took a trip to Brooklyn, via the world famous Brooklyn Bridge. When it was completed, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world, the first steel-wire suspension bridge, and the first bridge to connect Manhattan to Long Island

Student Testimonial

"I am an air traffic controller so my job is to communicate with pilots over the radio. What I needed the most was to speak and to improve my skills in communicating. So my private tutorial with my teacher was perfect. I learned English using games and using text. I got to talk a lot. I am also a little claustrophobic so sometimes we went outside to have classes. It was nice to walk and talk, and learn English in real life."
Philippe Soulier, France
