American Language Program, Columbia University

Last week, our ALP students headed to Broadway for a magical afternoon at Wicked 💚✨Between the amazing singing and the incredible costumes, we were all spellbound! We ended the day with a delicious dinner and plenty of laughs with friends. Moments like these are what make the semester so special.

It’s bittersweet to think that next week is already the final week of the semester. Let’s make these last few days count!

Last week, our students had an unforgettable visit to the American Museum of Natural History! From standing beneath the giant dinosaur fossils to seeing the iconic blue whale suspended overhead, every exhibit was exciting. They also explored the insect exhibition and so much more 🦖🐋🐞

Before the museum, we stopped by Butler Library to see the giant snowman students built right in front of the library — a perfect winter day!

This past Wednesday, the ALP went ice skating at Central Park ⛸️

Despite it being below freezing, we had a blast! While the classic ice skating treat is hot chocolate, students enjoyed some yummy ice pops!

Last Tuesday, the ALP's Spring semester began! Although it was a cold start to the semester, we've been having a lot of fun meeting classmates from all around the world ❄️🌎

Stay tuned for more fun events coming up!

Last Friday, ALP students and staff came together for a heartwarming Friendsgiving celebration 🦃

Alongside classic American Thanksgiving dishes, students contributed foods from their own cultures, creating a beautiful blend of flavors and traditions. It was a meaningful way to connect and celebrate before the Thanksgiving break.
