As a leader of global education innovation, EF Education First has spent over 55 years helping millions of students explore, learn, and grow through experiential education and meaningful immersion. And today, we’re shaping the future of study abroad. At EF Study Abroad, our modern programming connects the needs of today’s students with the requirements of tomorrow’s leaders in the context of our ever-changing world. By enriching traditional immersion with opportunities for knowledge acquisition and the development of future-ready skills, our programs equip students with the confidence, perspective, and resilience to thrive—no matter what comes next.
