| The Embassy CES Boston Downtown Center is situated on West Street, just a few minutes' walk from Macy's, Quincy Market, Boston Common and the public gardens. The school is located in a vibrant area packed with restaurants and shops, including the famous Brattle Bookshop. As the capital and largest city in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Boston is also one of the most historic cities in the United States. Boston was founded in 1630 by its Native American inhabitants and is now home to an estimated 570,000 Bostonians. Widely recognized as America's greatest college town, Boston is often called the "Athens of America" as it is dubbed the nation's educational capital home to more than 60 colleges and universities in the area, creating an atmosphere rich with artistic, social and intellectual opportunities. Many consider Boston a highly cultured city as it is home to such renowned performing arts groups as the Boston Ballet, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Pops, the Boston Lyric Opera Company and the Handel and Haydn Society, the oldest choral company in the United States. Sports enthusiasts do not have a problem in finding a team to cheer for in Boston, a city home to dedicated fans that are serious about their sports teams, including the Boston Celtics (NBA basketball), the New England Patriots (NFL football), the Boston Bruins (NHL hockey), the New England Revolution (soccer) and the historic, much beloved 2004 World Series champions, the Boston Red Sox. There are countless opportunities for Boston-area residents to enjoy easy weekend getaways along the East Coast, whether it is to go sightseeing in New York City, feast on lobster in Maine, hike New Hampshire's White Mountains or explore the beaches of Cape Cod. |
