Dates

Humanities Spring in New York 2019 will run from August 1st  to August 23rd.  From Monday to Friday, these three weeks will be dedicated to our intensive English course, with morning classes and afternoon excursions. On Saturdays and Sundays HSNY organizes optional outings. If you come we will all be very happy, but you are absolutely free to make other plans. The first Sunday of the course, for example, August 4th, we will go to a Gospel Mass in Harlem, then to an American brunch (breakfast+ lunch = brunch) in a nearby local restaurant and, in the afternoon, we will go listen to a jazz concert in Harlem Meer (at the northern end of Central Park).  in English from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day plus 2-3 evenings a week for concerts, plays, happenings, etc.).

Costs                                                                                               

HSNY 2019 will cost 2,650 euros for students who enroll by March 1st. For students who enroll after the 1st, the price will be 2.950 euros.

HSNY association fee: All students must pay the HSNY association fee which is 35 euros.

Students usually pay by bank transfer or check. Anyone who chooses to pay with PayPal should add a 5 % to the prices listed above (i.e. 2,650 + 132.50 euros to cover the Paypal commission).

Optional extra week in NYC with HSNY

Students may choose to extend their stay in New York by a week (until August 30th). There will be no classes during this week, but HSNY will organize optional excursions every afternoon. Anyone who comes along will be expected to speak English! We often go to a NYC beach during this last week, some years, twice! It is great for students to experience the ocean. We all take the subway to the beach; our favorite is in a charming and lively neighborhood in Queens with lots of coffee shops and food stands serving food from all over the world.

The beach itself is absolutely beautiful!

During our optional add-on HSNY week, breakfast is included. For lunch and dinner, students are free to use the kitchen at the HSNY house or to go out to eat in neighbors and at their restaurants and clubs (by now familiar!).

Whoever decides to stay on for the extra week will be given an extra week-long metro card which allows them to travel on buses and subways throughout the city.

The cost of this extra add-on week is 250 euros.

 

Enrolling in HSNY 2019:

To enroll in HSNY you must fill out the HSNY enrollment form in English.

Don’t worry! We are teachers and we all like mistakes.  Think of it as your first HSNY experience. It is a way for us to get an idea of your level of English (and this helps us fine-tune the HSNY 2019 curriculum). And it also allows us to get to know you a little before we all embark on this adventure together.
