School
Situated in the magnificent Merrimack Valley, our partner school has its premises on the campus of Merrimack College. Thanks to this ideal location, the students benefit at once from peaceful nature and the liveliness of the city close-by. The beaches of Massachusetts or the different ski areas of New Hampshire are very easily accessible whilst only three-quarters of an hour by train separate you from Boston city centre and its numerous attractions.
Embassy has 7 classrooms within the school building. In addition, students have free access to the multimedia centre and the library of the College in order to work independently, In order to surf on the Internet, you will be able to use the Internet café or to connect your laptop to the WiFi network which is available throughout the campus. After classes or during breaks, meet up with your friends in the cafeteria or in one of the games rooms in order to relax for a while. With, in addition to this, the modern sports facilities and the large green spaces around the building, Embassy Merrimack offers a particularly pleasant environment for studying English.
