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.

Host family
This is the ideal option for discovering the American lifestyle from the inside. The families, who are carefully selected by the school, accommodate students in a single or double room with half board provided and mostly live in the residential areas of the city. The families also propose dropping you off at the school and bringing you back to your accommodation after classes. You will need to allow for around 10-20 minutes to get to the school.

Residence
Embassy offers you the possibility of staying in a campus residence with students of Merrimack College. The bedrooms are for double use and there are common rooms and facilities (lounges, bathrooms) on each floor. This accommodation option does not include meals but you will be make use out of the campus cafeteria and café services.

Leisure

Every week, several social and cultural activities are proposed by the school in order to allow students to discover Boston and to get to know each other better. With sports, visits to museums or monuments, evening activities or going out...you will be spoilt for choice! You will also be able to discover the different districts and attractions of the city by yourself. Shopping fans will certainly not be disappointed between Harvard Square, Newbury Street and Quincy Market and for sports fans, there will be no shortage of opportunities to go to support the Celtics or the Red Sox. The school also proposes participating in various excursions during the week and at the weekends in order to discover Newport, Rhode Island, Salem, Vermont and of course...New York City.
