“The class had mixed too many people in the sense that he also had Korean / Japanese who did not understand English language so much and it meant a drawback for students who were advanced, and however the ones that had good language properties, and because my class was a Conversation one we were eventually forced to speak and it was such an uncomfortable nuisance! Then I attended a month of Steps on Broadway dance school, and I loved her from the very first moment! Very ighly trained and very professional teachers, and all the classes very punctual according to the timetables that are in the special booklets! I attended also the Jazz and Contemporary dance class and I highly recommend it to all! I hope to return there one day, it was really such a great experience and an excellent choice!”
Insider tip: “The teachers must be patient if some Asian student has a terrible pronunciation of words in English but for the rest this school give you a very good chance, that is to be in contact with people from all around the world, and of course, you can talk to them in English ... and this automatically will follow a very great improvement!”

“As I requested to lower my class, the school changed it without any problems. The teachers explain well. The activity calender is very useful. You can go to some events cheaper. (In my case, "Cirque du Soleil")”
Insider tip: “It's very convenient, as Grand Central Station is within walking distance. The school has two offices. A main office has a student room and PCs though, another has less facilities. You can't choose which building you study in. It's totally up to your luck. ”

Questions and answers about Rennert International

  • “In 16 weeks, students can gain one full level. However, the speed of progress varies quite a bit from student to student. Some students gain a level earlier than that, and some students progress more slowly.”
    Julianne Labate, from Rennert International - Mar 18, 2022
  • “Yes, each single room also has a private bathroom.”
    Lisa S. Schiwy, LanguageCourse.net - Sep 09, 2022
  • “This programme combines English classes (2+ weeks) with a part-time unpaid internship (4-14 weeks) so that students can maximize their learning experience. It also includes 2 seminars (resume building and interview skills) and a letter of recommendation at the end of the internship.
    No school confirms the possibility of being hired at a company. This depends solely and exclusively on the company where the internship takes place, the student's CV, and especially the skills they will demonstrate during the internship.    ”
    Antonio Zoppo, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 11, 2022
  • “Yes, the Summer Plus! - Day programme offers lessons only for students between the ages of 13 and 17.”
    Gosia Mazur, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 23, 2022
  • “The dance lessons take place in the partner studio, Steps on Broadway.”
    Qian, International Admissions Coordinator from Rennert International - Mar 16, 2023
  • “Yes, the lowest price guarantee also applies at this school. Feel free to send us a screenshot of the offer and I assure you that we can still undercut it! ”
    Lisa Schiwy, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 28, 2023
  • “Though our adult programme is for students who are 17 or older, we can certainly make exceptions if the parents believe that the students are mature enough to join the programme. Something to mention is that since this is an adult programme, we won't be able to provide any supervision.”
    Qian Li, International Admissions Coordinator from Rennert International, New York - Oct 11, 2024

FAQ about Rennert International, New York

  • “Language learning is not limited to lessons in the classroom. In addition to your main course and group classes with native speakers, all students can attend additional group classes: reading club, etc. These classes are language practice. The school is continuously offering extra activities such as Outdoor Social Activities, monthly parties, open classes and workshops.”
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 14, 2023
  • “For joining the TOEFL class, students should have at least upper-intermediate level, as this class is rather difficult and they want to ensure that students get the best learning experience. In case his level is lower intermediate he can join the Intensive English 20 programme. It is a standard English course and it will help him improve his level.
    ”
    Qian Li, Admissions Coordinator from Rennert International New York - May 03, 2023
