This is an ideal option for finding out about American culture and practising English outside of class. You will stay in a single or double room with half-board. The families are located around 60 minutes away from the school. Bath towels and sheets are provided and you will share common rooms with the family.

Shared apartment (recommended 18-25 years)
Our partner school offers the possibility of staying in apartments. These are located around 35 minutes away by public transport from the language school building. You will stay in a single or double room and will share the bathroom and kitchen with your flatmates. Sheets are provided, access to the laundry is included and a WiFi connection will allow you to access the Internet.

Leisure

Discover this great city from the Skywalk Observatory in the Prudential Center…a nice viewpoint for discovering the birthplace of the American Revolution, or from the port so as not to do like everyone else! From Back Bay to Beacon Hill, and from Newbury Street to North End, Boston achieves surprising cocktails, with a blend of history, culture, shops, restaurants, cinemas, bars and wild discos. From guided visits of the Freedom Trail to the masterpieces of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, from shopping trips to Harvard Square, Newbury Street and Quincy Market, you won’t have any chance to end up going around in circles. And, for the weekend, Newport, Salem, the Niagara Falls and New York are so close, don’t hesitate to get out there and explore!
