Boston Academy of English has Special Program just for Au Pairs

One of the main reasons au pairs sign up for the cultural exchange program is to improve their English skills. This is very important to the majority of au pairs. If you au pair's English skills are weak, you should send them to an English as a Second Language (ESL) class before you sign them up for a college course. Many times, the college or university will require this before they admit the au pair into a class. If you are lucky enough to live in the Boston area, you can send your au pair to a school that focuses on English lessons just for au pairs.  Costs are moderately priced for 80 hours of credit (enough to fulfill a year's educational requirements).

Classes are held through the week and on Saturdays - making it very convenient for host parents' busy schedules.  Make sure you check out our Fact Sheet -  see dates for the mandatory placement test.
