Being home to some of the most famous and iconic universities in the world, Boston is a city that is welcoming to international students, and this is just one of the factors that makes the Intensive course from EF’s Boston location so appealing.

There are 32 classes to enjoy in total for every week, and you’ll study a curriculum that gives equal importance to the main language skills of: Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. Although you will dedicate a lot of your time to your English improvement, you will make better connections with your classmates as a consequence - which means you should be prepared to do a lot of speaking in-class, as well as to go out together and enjoy everything Boston has to offer. You have an endless array of bars and cafes near the school to choose from, as well as places of interest like the New England Aquarium or Faneuil Hall Marketplace.

As if the city of Boston weren’t enough to explore, EF also organises group trips to cities like New York, to enrich your English immersion experience.
