Kaplan Aspect:
Our East Village School is a wonderful, 2-storey facility located in the heart of Manhattan’s hip East Village. Just a block or two north of the Bowery, the former
home of NYC’s famed CBGB’s rock club, we are minutes away from many of New York's most interesting sites: The Public Theater, located in the former Astor Library
– the Cooper Union Great Hall, the site of many historic speeches and addresses– and St. Mark’s Place, the place to go for food, music, and a pair of cool shades!
What’s more, we’re less than 5 minutes from Stern Business school and NYU main campus in addition to major subway lines that can take you to your accommodation, and every place in the city you’ll want to visit.
Location and Facilities:
Classrooms
The Village School has 17 classrooms for group classes and three additional small-group/private tutoring rooms. All of our classrooms are clean and spacious with plenty of room for our students to spread out. The classrooms are equipped with tables and chairs which are ideal for group and pair work exercises, and a whiteboard for the teacher’s presentations. Each has audio/visual equipment (CD Players, TV/VCR/DVD Players, Computer with projector, etc.) either permanently in the room or available for the teacher at any time.
Multimedia and IT centre
The school has personal workspaces equipped with TV/DVD players, more than 60 computers for student use, and free wireless internet access throughout the building. Our quiet study rooms are also a wonderful telecommunications and media resource.

When you’re hungry or looking to relax, the cozy student lounge on the second floor offers leather couches, desks, vending machines for snacks, and microwave ovens to help prepare your lunch.

Gym facilities
There are no gym facilities at the school, but students can join a local gym located right on Cooper Square and locations at or near their residence or homestay.

With workshops, parties, walking tours, museum trips, sporting events, Broadway shows and more, you’ll discover parts of New York you didn’t even
know existed! These activities are lead by a member of the Kaplan Aspect staff and will help you to meet new people and discover the city.
