NEW YORK CITY

SOCAPA's Summer Programs for High School students are hosted at Polytechnic University, located at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge in downtown Brooklyn. Students stay in the Polytechnic dormitories, eat most of their meals at the campus cafeteria, and attend most classes right on the Polytechnic Campus.

New York City has long been a world center of artistic and cultural exploration. SOCAPA is surrounded by exciting locations for film shoots, many of which have been photographed by some of the most famous film directors of our time. SOCAPA students find themselves in the heart of this vibrant city, walking distance from the Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO, Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn Heights and the Promenade, and a short subway ride to Washington Square Park, Times Square, the Theater District, Central Park, Bleecker Street, and one of the most diverse concentrations of cafés, restaurants, and artistic venues anywhere in the world.

We at SOCAPA feel that New York City is perhaps the world's greatest classroom. We conduct many of our classes and exercises in our favorite parks and take many field trips to museums, studios, shows and screenings. Our students are given blanket permits from the NYC Mayor's Office which allows them to film, photograph, and dance anywhere in Central Park. Some NYC attractions attended by last summer's program include Shakespeare in the Park, a live taping at MTV (TRL), a Bryant Park Cinema Screening, a Broadway musical, and Coney Island Amusement Park. We also take our students out to our favorite restaurants for a few fancy dinners during their stay.
