The Cascadilla experience offers something for every student…

The Cascadilla experience is rewarding, challenging, and fulfilling on every level, and life at Cascadilla goes beyond the classroom. We are in the heart of Ithaca’s Collegetown, and students enjoy dining and shopping just a few blocks from the dorms. Since we’re immediately adjacent to Cornell University, students often walk over to see films and plays, hear lectures and use the Cornell libraries. Students on class trips regularly see Cornell’s science labs and museums. Ithaca is also part of the beautiful Finger Lakes of central New York, which provides numerous hiking, skiing, swimming, and more opportunities.

International students at Cascadilla get a truly global learning experience as they interact with their American peers every day in class and during extracurricular activities. Our American families often open their homes and hearts to international dorm students for meals and friendship, and school field trips blend fun and learning in many American cities. All Cascadilla students –whether living in the dorm or at home– are active in school clubs and activities.
