LSI Boston - USA

LEARN ENGLISH IN BOSTON

LSI Boston is conveniently located on the borders of Chinatown and the Theatre and Financial Districts, a short walk from major subway, bus and commuter rail stations.

There are spacious modern classrooms, a student lounge and lobby where drinks and snacks are available to purchase, a Student Resource Room with a small library of resource material, and a computer room with free internet access and self study materials.  Our monthly social and leisure calendar invites you to use your English while visiting local attractions with your new friends and teachers.

Popular activities are historical walking tours, visits to the Museum of Fine Arts, skating on the Boston Common and cheering on the home side at a professional sports event.

LSI - ACCOMMODATION IN BOSTON

The city of Boston should be visited at least once in your lifetime as it is not only a part of the historic past of the United States; it is also a booming metropolitan city. Even though you may find yourself surrounded by skyscrapers and expressways, you will also be surrounded by the colonial and New England feel. Boston is located in the middle of Massachusetts and is also the capital of the state. Cambridge (home of Harvard and MIT) is a short drive or subway ride north across the Charles River. The city's 19th-century glory radiates through its grand architecture, its population of literati, artists and educators and its world-renowned academic and cultural institutions – taking the time to visit Boston is worth every minute.
