Our summer program at the prestigious Yale University is located in New Haven, Connecticut. The campus is set on 265 acres and provides many amenities for students during their stay. More importantly, Yale provides a safe campus where students can enjoy a certain amount of freedom and experience everything it has to offer. Yale's University campus provides students with the opportunity to explore the many University buildings, shop in the small university town that plays host to some well-known brands as well as other boutique shops, and enjoy the variety of cafes and restaurants.
ISSOS International Summer Schools are amazing. The staff are incredibly welcoming. The teachers are engaging and encouraging and their classes are interesting and dynamic. The accommodation is safe and comfortable. The location was wonderful and there is the opportunity to go on fun and interesting trips.
