Our City

The Power of Place

Our urban setting is a special place that sparks unbridled curiosity, real-world learning, and a passion for both exploring and contributing to one’s community.

With deeply rooted connections to our local neighborhoods, students engage in ways that reveal their capacity to impact others.

A Historic And Diverse City On The Rise

Known as the "city of seven hills," Worcester is a vibrant and thriving city in the midst of an exciting renaissance of growth and innovation. Its unique blend of historic and modern architecture is a testament to the city's rich and varied history.

Worcester is also a diverse city, with over 20% of the population born outside the United States. The city’s tapestry of cultures has given rise to an eclectic arts and culinary scene, and an undeniable spirit of inclusivity. 

Just a short walk from campus, The Canal District is home to Polar Park, the Triple A Red Sox, and Fidelity Bank Worcester Ice Center, where our hockey students practice and play. 

 

Immersive Community Engagement

On any given day, our students engage in meaningful experiences that foster deep connections with our community, expand their world view, and shape them into empowered global citizens.
