When Bertil Hult founded EF in 1965, he believed that immersive experiences are essential to the deepest learning. Today, as part of EF, experiential learning sits at the heart of our modern EF Academy education. Since day one, we've provided students from around the world with the opportunity to grow into confident, resilient, life-long learners ready for a global future.

We believe that living and learning in an international community helps make the world a better place. Through individual and collective learning, we empower young people from all nationalities and backgrounds to realize their full potential, become open-minded individuals and make a positive impact in their communities and in the world.

Our place-Our international school education is fuelled by creativity, innovation and choice. Our campuses are strategically set in New York, Pasadena and the academic heart of the UK because they offer boundless learning and professional opportunities for our students to explore. As part of EF, we maintain an integrated global support system for our families with 17 local offices around the world.

EF Academy is more than a school, it’s a community. Our teachers and staff are dedicated to providing support and opportunities to grow for both our students and their families.

While it’s easy to showcase how EF Academy helps change our students' lives, nobody says it better than our teachers and families themselves

Our people-Our people are what make our community so special. In fact, we've come to think that "EF" also stands for "extended family". We are passionate, interculturally trained educators with vast international experience who speak 20 languages between us. We are our students' 360 support away from home, a responsibility that we hold to the highest level.

Learn in a modern, experiential way-Excel personally and academically in an international high school that bridges theory with practice and combines class instruction with abundant enrichment activities.

Our program offerings make it possible for students to learn in the way that works best for them, and our faculty provide ample opportunities to solidify what is learned in class with on-hands, co-curricular activities. This encourages students to make meaningful connections between and beyond their classes, and to let their individual curiosity guide their academic discovery.
