Learn English in Boston

Approach International Student Center
is a well established English language
school located in Allston, MA, only 
5 minutes away from Boston – one of
the most dynamic student centers in
the world. 

Surrounded by great colleges and
universities such as Harvard University,
MIT, Boston University (BU), and Boston
College, we teach over 200 students every
month ranging from 13 to 70+ years old.

Our students come from all over the world
to attend a variety of full-time and part-time
English courses. A flexible schedule
ensures students can start any day and
come to classes anytime they want. We
are open year round and offer classes
Monday through Friday from 9AM to 8PM.

Quality ESL courses at affordable prices

We offer small classes with certified teachers
holding graduate degrees, a monthly calendar
of activities chaperoned by our staff, and free
access to tutors for extra help in our self  study
room. Our facilities include a  library, computer  
labs with free internet access, listening and video
labs and a game room for students to relax at
the end of each day.

Course choices include our Intensive English
program or Semi  Intensive  English  program,
test  preparation programs such as TOEFL or
GMAT, a comprehensive ESL  (English as a
second language)  teacher  training program
(TESOL), and specialized work & study programs.

We pride ourselves on offering quality and
flexibility to our students at unbeatable prices. 

The support you need as an international student

In addition to our courses, we understand F1 student immigration regulations. We help our
students get organized to apply for a student visa (F1) at a consulate abroad, and we
prepare the documents to change permitted immigration status to the F1 student status
here in the US.

We also provide transportation to and from the airport, housing placement with an 
American host family or in a dormitory or apartment, help selecting a good health insurance
plan, and translation and interpreter services.

Upon graduation from Approach, many of our students take advantage of our college
and university partnerships, where partner institutions facilitate the admissions process for
Associate's and Bachelor's degrees. 

Our students say: 
"Approach is my home away from home!!!"
