Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire.
A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
The textbook answer would be that they are found at subduction zones, a type of convergent boundary. In reality it varies. Most composite volcanoes are indeed found at subduction zones, but there are some found at divergent boundaries, such as in the East African Rift, and some found at hot spots, such as in the Canary Islands.
Composite volcanoes are found along subductive plate boundaries.
Composite volcanoes are most often associated with convergent plate boundaries, specifically subduction zone, but some have been noted at divergent boundaries and hot spots.
They form at divergent boundary and at the Ring Of Fire

spreading plate boundary
The Falcon Volcano on the Tonga Islands are in the Indo-Australian Plate- a convergent boundary.

a Composite Volcano.
It is a composite cone volcano and is located near a destructive plate boundary where the African Plate is subducted beneath the Europian Plate.

The Volcano Villarica is on a converging plate boundary.

The cotopaxi volcano sits on the pacific plate.
I think the plate boundary is in the subduction zone.

It is a lava flow, and has an AA (ah-ah) lava flow
