About Us

NYC Global Center was established in 2024 by a team of excellent educators. From the beginning, it was clear that a large number of students needed to improve both their spoken and written, English-language skills. To meet this need, NYC made the transition from being a preparatory school to become an institute for English as a Second Language.

NYC Global Center is now located in a newly-renovated, facility in Chelsea, New York, offering a comprehensive program of communicative, English-language courses at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels to serve the needs of English language learners.
