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.
To fully appreciate Central Europe, you have to experience both its storied past and its natural beauty.
Berlin, Prague and Munich reveal centuries of history, from the medieval cobblestone squares to the remains of the Berlin Wall. In the Swiss Alps, history takes on a profound new meaning—these geological wonders are billions of years in the making.
