GEOS Homestay Program
The GEOS Homestay Program is intended to give visiting foreign students a first-hand experience of American culture by sharing with their host family in everyday life. As well as being able to use practical English language skills they have learned in school, it is expected that students will be able to participate in family activities for a holistic view of life in Boston. A GEOS staff member visits each of our homestay families with student's interests in mind. Our aim is to provide our students with a secure, educational, and economical environment. Our host families live in safe, comfortable neighborhoods in the Greater Boston Area.

New Student Academic Counseling
During the first two weeks of study, all new students will be asked to take part in an academic counseling session with the school's academic staff. You will have the opportunity to discuss and workout any problems or concerns you may be having with your studies.
Individual Monthly Academic Counseling
On the last day of each four-week session we offer our full time students individual counseling. Students will receive a report card with their grades and comments from teachers about their performance during the month. On the last day of class, each student meets one on one with their teacher for a personal counseling session. Your teacher will go over your report card with you, and give you some advice on how you can continue to improve your skills.
GEOS Coffee Talk
Do you want to speak more English outside of class? Do you like chatting with different people? Well, you're in luck. About twice each month, you can attend Coffee Talk at GEOS. This is a free session for students of all levels, hosted by a GEOS Instructor. Each Coffee Talk session is a chance for GEOS students to talk share thought and opinions on a variety of topics. Coffee Talk sessions at GEOS have a unique and interesting theme: music, movies, art, life in Boston, night clubbing, cooking, and much more.
