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 stand inside the 900-year-old St. Patrick’s Cathedral in the center of Dublin, you almost forget there’s a modern city buzzing right outside.
From around the Irish capital, through Shakespeare’s Stratford and into London with its iconic Big Ben, every moment brings a better understanding of life on the British Isles, both past and present.
