English Outdoors

English Outdoors offers a unique way to learn English by turning New York City into the classroom, with lessons held in iconic outdoor locations like Central Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park. Small class sizes, cultural field trips, and an eco-friendly approach create an immersive, authentic, and sustainable language-learning experience.

About English Outdoors

Our original concept of outdoor classes ensures that students discover different locations every day and learn English in an innovative way. The city is the classroom! Instead of being in a room with 4 walls, students learn in places such as Bryant Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Industry City, Essex Market, Central Park and more. Locations have been carefully chosen based on comfort, space, ease of access, points of interest close by, proximity of public restrooms, etc.

Our classes are kept small (max 8 students) so that teachers can give students their undivided attention and the best possible language learning experience.This interactive and immersive classroom experience in authentic settings also includes regular educational and cultural field trips throughout the city including visits to museums, historic neighborhoods, historical landmarks...

By choosing English Outdoors, students can also make a positive impact on the environment, taking advantage of natural sunlight and airflow rather than being inside and using artificial light and AC! This makes our English language program the most sustainable, eco-wise choice for students.

Being in Brooklyn, we are able to offer affordable housing and have carefully selected our host families based on their levels of pastoral care shown to our students. Learn English with us and be part of a real New York community!

    I'm very satisfied because the classes at BSL don't have too many students, so I had a lot of opportunity to speak at school.

    I want to thank you about the two weeks that I spent in NYC. I really enjoyed my time at the school and I really was very satisfied about your lessons. It was my first English course abroad but your abilities in teaching and keeping the attention of the class really inspired me.

    Although 2 weeks were short period, I believe that I learned a lot of things at your class, not only English as a language but also how to behave in the global business situation. Now I am full of motivation for making this chance as a turning point in my life.
