New York City is certainly one of the most
exciting cities in the world.
With its melting pot of different people, races and ethnic
backgrounds New York City is the mostdiverse place in America. It is a living language
laboratory for English studies. Here the
English-as-a-Foreign-Language student can experience the full
extent of American culture and lifestyle. The City is a major
world center for the performing arts, fine arts, dining,
shopping, finance, and media.
Since 1973, our partner in New York
has taught English-as-a-Foreign-Language to people from more
than 40 countries. Our experience has helped us to develop a
focused and flexible program for both the serious student who
wishes to pursue business or advanced study in the USA and the
traveler who wishes to combine survival English with
sightseeing.
If you're a first-time visitor, come see for yourself the Empire
State and Chrysler buildings, the Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller
Center, Times Square, the Bronx Zoo, Staten Island Ferry,
Brooklyn Bridge and all our other world-famous attractions. If
you've been here before, there's always another neighborhood to
explore, another restaurant to try, another Broadway show and
museum blockbuster to see, another don't-miss cultural
performance or sporting event.
Immerse yourself in New York City for five minutes, and you'll
see why it's like no other place on earth. Only here will you
find all of America's attributes - the diversity, the culture,
the style - intensified in such an intriguing way. And only here
will you experience those sublime moments that New York City is
famous for.

for students seeking admission to colleges and universities in
the United States and Canada. It is designed to demonstrate
English proficiency for academic purposes. It is recognized by
academic institutions worldwide for the purpose of general
admission and scholarship programs. Nearly
all international students wanting to enter an American college
or university must take the Test of English as a Foreign
Language, or TOEFL. Our TOEFL
Preparation Course enables intermediate
to high-level students to improve their test performance. Your
small classes of 7-10 students meet for 4 hours each afternoon
to study the grammar, listening comprehension, and reading
skills necessary for you to score well on the test. Practice

TOEIC
Exam Option:
The Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC)
is an English language proficiency test for people whose native
language is not English. It measures the everyday English skills
of people working in an international environment. Test scores
indicate how well people can communicate in English with others
in business, commerce and industry. The test does not require
specialized knowledge or vocabulary beyond that of a person who
uses English in daily work activities. The TOEIC exam is a
3-hour multiple-choice test divided into Listening and Reading
Sections. A good score on your TOEIC exam makes an impressive
addition to your resume and an important credential for your
next job application. Our partner school
administers the TOEIC exam once each month at our school.

La ville de Boston
manifeste une vie exubérante de l'aube jusqu'à la nuit. Que ce
soit devant l'éclat merveilleux des lumières du port
sous la lune, visibles sur tout le front de mer, ou lors d'une
croisière relaxante sur Charles River, les visiteurs ont de
nombreuses occasions de se laisser envoûter par Boston, dont la
variété des attraits étonne à chaque coin de rue. Grâce à sa
taille et à sa planification urbaine, Boston est la « ville
piétonnière de l'Amérique ». Une balade dans la ville vous
permettra notamment d'entrer dans plusieurs quartiers uniques et
très variés. En une simple petite promenade à pied, vous aurez
l'impression de voyager dans le monde entier. Très peu de villes
américaines peuvent s'enorgueillir d'offrir un tel mélange de
charme colonial, de sophistication urbaine et d'une douce
combinaison de traditions européennes et américaines.
Visitez: Boston Harbor
Island Cruise - The Bull and Finch Pub - Cranberry World - Essex
River Cruises - Arnold Arboretum - Prudential Center Sky Walk
-The Sedgwick Gardens at Long Hill - Wolf Hollow
L'Ecole de langue
L'école est située au coeur
de Boston. Les grands magasins, les sites touristiques, les
parcs, les universités et le métro ne sont qu'à quelques pas de
nos locaux. En outre, nous sommes fiers d'offrir à nos étudiants
une attention très personnalisée dans une atmosphère cordiale et
animée. Nos groupes se composent en moyenne de seulement 7
étudiants et tous nos professeurs sont de véritables anglophones
de naissance hautement qualifiés.
Outre les services de base
d'une école de langues, comme l'aide aux démarches d'immigration
et la coordination de l'hébergement, les étudiants trouveront
dans notre établissement de nombreux autres services, dont un
accompagnement dans les démarches d'admission auprès des
universités de la région, la recherche de partenaires
linguistiques et la proposition d'opportunités de bénévolat.
Nous offrons également une grande variété
d'activités extra‑scolaires intéressantes, permettant aux
étudiants de pratiquer leur anglais tout en découvrant Boston.
Par ailleurs, nous aimerions mentionner que plusieurs de nos
anciens étudiants sont ensuite entrés dans des collèges et
universités de Boston.
Les Cours d'anglais
Nous
proposons 6 cours de base pour les langues. D'autres
cours plus spécifiques sont disponibles en fonction de la
demande des étudiants. En ce qui concerne
les tarifs des cours et du logement, vous
pouvez consulter notre page
Prix.
Les cours d'anglais ont été imaginés pour étudier
tous les aspects de la langue anglaise : la grammaire, l'anglais
lu et écrit, le vocabulaire, et bien sûr la conversation.
En plus, nous proposons des programmes spécialement
dédiés à la préparation aux tests
officiels comme le TOEFL ( test obligatoire pour entrer dans
les universités américaines), les tests de Cambridge, First & Advance Certificates.
Sont également proposés des cours spécialisés
pour l'anglais commercial et des cours particuliers
axés sur un aspect spécifique déterminé
par l'étudiant. Enfin, il est presque inutile
de mentionner que notre école est un lieu où
se rassemblent des étudiants motivés et soucieux
de progresser.
