Founded in 1630, Boston is one of the US’s oldest municipalities and has played a key role in several US historic events. It is the capital and largest city in Massachusetts and today Boston is recognised as a global leader in higher education and academic research with both Harvard University and MIT based there. With a strong entrepreneurial vibe, the city is also seen as being a pioneer in innovation, making Boston the perfect location for Global Achievers Academy.

Set in 150 acres with a wealth of sports facilities and green spaces, the halls of residence provide the perfect backdrop for students to relax, sleep and eat after a busy day studying at Harvard! Accommodation is in single and twin rooms, with common bathrooms along the corridor. Communal spaces are also available.
