Campus information

The New York Film Academy has two unique facilities in Lower Manhattan: our headquarters overlooking the Statue of Liberty in Battery Place at the southern tip of Manhattan and our second location found nearby on Broadway in the Financial District.

The Academy is easily accessible to the rest of the city. A short walk north takes the student into the neighborhoods of Tribeca, Chinatown, the Lower East Side, Greenwich Village, Tribeca, Little Italy, or SoHo. A thirty-minute train ride brings the student to the doorsteps of Columbia University and Harlem, or Coney Island, Central Park, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Our extensive facilities provide a haven from the hustle and bustle, and at the same time, give students a springboard from which to dive straight into the thick of the city's life.

Each location offers a variety of workshops taught by established professionals that are designed to give students the best possible hands-on education.
