International House New York, like the IH World Organization, was founded by two highly experienced teachers and teacher trainers, Ryan Horsnail and Tasha Hacker. The founders' strong beliefs in maintaining the highest standard of language teaching and teacher training led them to join the International House World Organization. They wanted to be part of an organization that upholds the same professional values and high standards for education and training, and therefore they are proud to be IH New York. IH New York prides itself first and foremost on being built on a foundation of excellence in language teaching and teacher training and therefore providing you - our students - with the best language education you can get in New York. At IH New York, you can take English Language Classes, Business English Classes in our Executive English Program, join one of our Summer Camps for Teenagers, or, from our sister school Teaching House, take a Univeristy of Cambridge Teacher Training Course to become an English Teacher. In addition to having the most qualified and professional language teachers, IH New York is also proud to offer its students the prime location of a world-class university campus in the heart of TriBeCa, downtown Manhattan, just a few minutes' walk from Wall Street, SoHo, Greenwich Village, Chinatown and the Hudson River. John's University Manhattan campus not only provides first-rate facilities, ideal for students with its ample computer labs, expansive library space, lounge areas, cafeteria and modern classrooms, but outside its doorstep is one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods: TriBeCa, home of the TriBeCa Film Festival, which offers up some of the city's most talked-about restaurants and bars, fashion boutiques, river views and celebrity homes. Studying at IH New York is a holistically stimulating experience, offering you the chance to learn a language well while experiencing the real New York!
