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 give 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 Gardner Museum among many others.

I hope all is well and that you are enjoying your time with family. Thank you for your review, this means a lot for us! I'm glad that you enjoyed your program here and enjoyed our unique experience. Stay in touch!
Best wishes.
For sure, my English improved a lot. I really enjoyed studying at Target with my teachers, Emily and Jillian. They were amazing! I learned so much from them. Now, I am in another school, because the schedule and price is easier for me, but the quality I had in Target was very good. I took a course at Harvard last month, so I'm really happy and proud of myself.

The teachers I had at Target are incredible individuals. The small class sizes offer quality interaction with instructors and classmates for optimum learning. Besides learning English, it is also an opportunity to make lots of friends and learn about American culture.

Hello Sara,
Good to hear from you. Thanks for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed our program. I wish you all the best. Stay in touch! Kind regards from Boston. :O)
It was a great experience for me to study in this excellent school! I met a lot of new friends, brilliant teachers and such a nice staff, who all helped me to learn English, to communicate easily, and to not be afraid to speak in English! The teachers always try to come up with new activities, games, and fun events, which is good because you can learn faster. The lessons were always busy, but not boring at the same time. I am very happy that I was able to attend this school. I successfully passed the TOEFL and am now pursuing my personal goals for my academic career. Thank you Target International Student Center!
P.S I miss you guys!

I had a good experience studying at Target. The teachers were very friendly and helpful, and were always willing to explain everything as many times as necessary. I improved my English and made a lot of friends from different parts of the world. The location was accessible from the green line, and the facilities were small but comfortable. They had activities for the students every month to celebrate some of the American holidays and to go explore the city of Boston.

The tuition of Target is affordable, so students don't worry about it. The location of Target is very convenient in that there is a B-Line station. It is located in Allston which is a safe area in Boston. Therefore, students don't have to worry about safety issues.
