We have a first class English Language Center, which is central to all the work done with International students
There are six modules in a year, students can join us at most times during the academic year (Sep., Nov., Jan., Feb., Apr.)
Small class sizes so that more interaction between students and teachers
20 hours per week

You will join a group of students with broadly similar ability, from elementary to upper Intermediate and you can progress through the levels during the year. The elementary group would normally be a very small group and students would get a lot of intensive help to improve their English level quickly. This can sometimes involve one to one tuition.

Summer School Programme


If you would like to improve your English, make new friends with other international students, and have fun meeting English people then Boston College is the place of you.

Improve your English
You will improve your English Language skills during the 16 hours of teaching each week. You will cover all aspects of the English Language; reading, writing, listening speaking. Classes are small, usually 8 - 10 in a group, so you will get lots of individual attention from our excellent teachers. These classes are held in the mornings, leaving lots of time in the afternoon for trips and social activities.

Have fun, relax and explore!
You will be taken to some of the most famous and popular cultural centres in England. For example - London, Cambridge and York. Let the teachers know at the start of the Summer School course if there is a special place you would like to go and they will try to arrange it. Join in activities such as bowling, swimming or the cinema. Use some of your free time to explore the historic town of Boston and to visit the local market shops.

Stay with a local family
All students live with a local family during Summer School. This gives you more time to practice your English and to learn about English culture and customs.
