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 language, landmarks, and culture change in each city, revealing shared bonds and unique identities.
Walking through Piccadilly Circus in London, the Latin Quarter in Paris, and Las Ramblas in Barcelona, notice the distinctly different paces of life. Comparing each city's icons—Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, and La Sagrada Família—consider how religion, royalty, and architecture have influenced their separate histories.-
