Description

MISSION STATEMENT Providing high-quality ESL instruction, excellent customer service to all our students, and ensuring a sustainable business model for the mutual benefit of all parties.

TARGET ISC Established in 2006, Target International Student Center (TISC Boston) is a privately-owned Language School that offers General English, Test Preparation, Professional English and a TESOL Certification program. Our teaching approach is centered around two important ideas: smaller classroom sizes which gives our students more time with their teachers; and an English-only communicative approach which creates a thriving environment to learn.

We are in one of Boston’s most vibrant college and university neighborhoods. Lovers of art, music, science and history will find world-class cultural institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston Symphony Hall, the Museum of Science and the Isabella Stewart Garner Museum among many others. Today, Boston has become one of the most culturally significant cities in the United States. With over 100 colleges and universities within the city and surrounding area, Boston is a center of higher education and a center for health care. Moreover, due to the increasing number of international students who seek to obtain a college degree in the USA, Boston has become an incredibly diverse city with all parts of the world represented in our city.

Target International Student Center guarantees students more in-class hours at an affordable price. Our team of qualified and dedicated teachers strive to provide students with the best language learning experience possible so that they can reach their highest potential. Contact us today for further details. We hope to meet you soon!
