Your English School USA

YES USA runs amazing fully-inclusive Junior Camp programs for 12-19 year old students. The program includes 24/7 supervision, English classes, accommodations, full board, daily excursions, entry fees, local transportation.

Classes

Students will have 20 academic hours (15 clock hours) of English lessons weekly, from Monday to Friday, with our highly-qualified and experienced teachers. We use cutting-edge techniques to help students improve their fluency and accuracy in speaking. Not only do learners improve their English but also have fun doing it by holding interesting and motivating discussions with their instructor and classmates, playing educational games, and learning about life in the USA and New York in particular.

After class, the learning continues as students continue to speak English with their activity leaders, and each other, as they enjoy our rich and exciting excursion program. Campers are strongly encouraged to use English at all times and practice using what they learned in class in real-life situations during trips and social activities.
