ABOUT EF
For over 55 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to one global mission: Opening the World Through Education. Our programs help students expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, grow more confident and independent, and understand new people, places, and cultures.
The experience of a lifetime is waiting for you. Every detail from the cities you’ll stay in to the cultural discoveries you’ll make have been customized by your teacher for your group. Take a look at your personal itinerary for a sneak peek of what's in store.
