About
Rennert International, founded in 1973 and based in New York, NY, provides English and foreign language education along with translation and interpreting services. Located in Midtown Manhattan on the Berkeley College campus next to Bryant Park, the school offers modern, high-tech classrooms and student areas across two floors. Instruction follows the Rennert Experiential Approach to Language (R.E.A.L.), a communication-focused method designed to get students speaking from the first class, with small classes that emphasize practical use.
Programs include American English at multiple intensities; English for Academic Purposes; TOEFL and OET preparation; Business English; Executive English; and add-ons such as private lessons, business writing, professional English for specific purposes, and pronunciation and accent reduction. Plus English electives connect language learning with interests in acting, dance, fashion, filmmaking, music, and photography. Teen programs and internship options, including Business English in Action, are available.
Rennert also offers foreign language classes in French, Spanish, Mandarin, German, Arabic, Japanese, Italian, and Portuguese. Educators can pursue teacher training through TESOL Certificate Online and SIT-affiliated courses, including practicum, refresher, teaching young learners, and teaching business English. Operating under the umbrella of Berkeley College, Rennert combines campus resources with a boutique-school environment for learners and professionals seeking targeted language skills in New York City.
