Swedish Institute

Swedish Institute has been a pillar in New York City’s education foundation for over 100 years. It holds the title as the oldest continuously operating massage therapy institution in the country, going back to when it first opened its doors in 1916. Since then, Swedish Institute has grown from a well-known school of massage therapy into a multi-purpose institution of allied health. We continue to provide a learning environment where students are supported and guided to succeed in the classroom and in their new careers. At Swedish Institute, we offer in-demand programs that combine practical hands-on training and instruction from industry professionals to create a rewarding learning experience focused on helping you gain the skills required to enter your field of study. We are dedicated to fostering a college community that is diverse and inclusive by providing our students and staff with opportunities to learn and engage in scholarly knowledge that recognizes the contributions of all people. We are committed to taking a proactive approach to the principles of diversity and inclusion through providing education that encourages civic engagement and intentionally prepares our students to be responsible members of the diverse societies that they will serve as health and wellness professionals.
