Millions of people come to Boston each year to learn about the American Revolution, to visit cultural and historical landmarks such as Faneuil Hall, the Heritage Trail, and Quincy Market, and to participate in adult English courses!

The city was the site of several 'firsts', including the first public school and the first subway system in America. Boston’s prime location on the North Atlantic and proximity to the coast means that you can enjoy a variety of fresh seafood every day. In particular, local lobster and traditional clam chowder are not to be missed. With over 100 colleges and universities in the city alone, Boston is known as the `Athens of America´. The world’s top university, Harvard, is in Boston, which cements this city’s reputation as being an intellectual center. It is no wonder why Boston is often the first choice for students wishing to pursue post-secondary education or take adult English courses. In fact, close to half of Boston’s population is made up of students, making the city very student-friendly.
