The Olin Center, accredited by ACCET and a member of the American Association of Intensive English Programs (AAIEP), was founded in 1992 to provide educational services to local and international students bound for university in the United States.

The Olin Center is now known as EC Boston and is a member of the EC group of English language schools. The EC Boston team remains the same great, dedicated friendly group of people ready to welcome you to EC's newly refurbished school!

Students who come to Boston receive expert English instruction through our Intensive English programs. The Olin Center offers a wide variety of classes focused on English language learning and teaching including 9 levels of Intensive English, Teacher Training programs (TEFL), TOEFL, and Academic Preparation courses.  By offering Executive English along with ESL for Kids and Families we can provide English training for students aged 9 to 90.

Boston students looking for test preparation in GMAT and GRE will find the advantage of years of experience. Olin Center test prep teachers have taken and scored in the top 10% of the GMAT and/or GRE tests. We offer classes that fit into any busy schedule.

Our Boylston street location at Copley Square allows students easy access to the sites of Boston. Whether it is across the street at the Prudential Center and Boston Public Library or down the street to the Boston Common, Olin Center students have great access to Boston’s treasured sites. Our proximity to the Copley T-stop allows for a commute that is convenient for students from all directions.

Through our innovative programs in test preparation and Intensive English language training, we have helped thousands of students regardless of background, to reach their academic and professional goals in the United States.
