Welcome to EF Education First

EF Education First is the world leader in international education. For more than four decades, we have worked toward our mission to break down barriers of language, culture and geography.
 
EF was started in 1965 by Bertil Hult with the simple idea to bring Swedish high school students to England for on-site language studies. Today, with offices in more than 50 countries, the EF family of subsidiaries includes educational tours, high school cultural exchange, language schools and a one-year MBA program. Our global reach extends to our role as the Official Language Training Provider for the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
 
All together, our programs have helped more than 15 million students learn a language, discover the world or earn an academic degree.

"The trip was fantastic. I saw things that I'd only ever read about in books, and thought that I'd never see. The days spent in Switzerland were among the best days of my life. This trip inspired me to change my major."
