"Great teachers"

Mattia Laportella, student from USA

Messy beginning, too many large groups of same native language students. But the brilliant teachers managed to sort it out and made room for the others.
Some of the afternoon activities were underwhelming and felt purposeless. But I made friends and practiced speaking.

"Life in dormitory could be better"

Tomihisa Yamaguchi, student from Japan

According to my daughter, she was expecting more students than were there at the dorm. She could be better in communicating with more students and be friends.
In terms of the English classes, she has no experience to compare with.
In her words, she had a tough time. However, it is always hard for children to learn new experiences.
If I have a chance, I would send her back to the school which has more students to spend time with.

"I can reccomend this school for all-age pupils all over the world."

Vozny Daniil, student from Russia

School activities were good; for example, our trip to Red Socks Stadium was unforgettable. I was glad to meet pupils from all countries, but there were some from my country too. Computers are excellent, but it's too cold in room where they are staying. I think that it's very good to travel in Boston not with teachers, but with friends. But I don't like food, there are too many hamburgers and sodas and no salads and fruits as I want. In complex life your college was excellent, thank you for it.

"Good experience"

Zoya Shcherbinina, student from Russia

Very well organized process of learning and working with children. My daughter studied English for 5 weeks. She did not attend activities and lived with our family. She loved to learn. Most of all she liked Gabriel and Anastasia.

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying full time in the United States for more than 18 hours per week, you will receive an I-20 that you need to submit to the US embassy along with your F-1 student visa application. The I-20 has a SEVIS tracking number on it. Students who wish to apply for a student visa must pay the SEVIS fee online before going to the US embassy or consulate for their visa interview.

Your I-20 will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you.

Please note that United States law states that an I-20 can only be issued to students who intend to pursue full-time English language studies. United States law does not permit students to study part-time with an F-1 Student Visa. If you are studying for less than 18 hours per week, you have to apply for a Visitor Visa (B1/B2) on your own.

Ask a question

"The student's level is "beginner" and is below the minimum required level of "elementary" required to join the course below. Can you make an exception and accept our student into the program? Alternatively, do you have a placement test that we can ask the student to fill out to accurately determine his level?"

We generally do not send placement tests out in advance. There should be an English test on our website that the student can take to get an estimate of their level.
