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.
When you focus in on London, you can delve deep into its history and culture.
The capital city was once the center of an empire, and today Britain’s age-old traditions come at you from many angles—from the stage of a West End theater to a plate of fish and chips to the ringing chimes of Big Ben.-
