Join us in New York, New York.

Our hands-on summer programs encourage high school students to explore a future career, experience life on a college campus, and develop core leadership skills.

Life on a College Campus

Dates, Programs, & Tuition

NSLC provides an immersive pre-college experience that prepares students for life beyond high school, allowing them to study in university classrooms, learn to navigate a campus, and experience living with roommates. All students are required to reside in supervised campus dormitories and will be provided meals through campus dining services.
