Unlocking global excellence at EF Academy: Your home away from home
EF Academy offers a unique academic experience in a truly global community filled with adventures, new friendships and endless opportunities for growth. Discover a little magic of your own.
Join EF Academy, where your educational journey becomes an adventure. With campuses in California, New York and Oxford, we offer a personalized academic experience in a truly global community, with students from over 60 countries. At EF Academy, we believe in shaping well-rounded individuals within an immersive learning environment.
While many imagine prep schools to be places involving ivy-covered walls, ties and long hours in libraries, or perhaps a magical world like Hogwarts, the true magic lies in the diverse experiences that EF Academy offers. It is not spells, but extraordinary moments of learning and growing within a global community that make EF Academy so unique.
Here is why EF Academy is the place where you can discover a little magic of your own:
Cool friends from all over the world
At EF Academy, you will meet students who speak different languages, enjoy diverse music and bring unique cultural perspectives. You will form friendships that last a lifetime, whether in class, at lunch or in shared dorms. This experience makes the world feel both bigger and smaller at the same time.
Learn to speak languages
Language learning at EF Academy extends beyond the classroom. Whether mastering your second, third or fourth language, you will have countless opportunities to practice with peers from around the world. Studies show multilingual students perform better academically and develop stronger cognitive skills. Learning new languages opens your mind and helps you become a more adaptable, insightful communicator.
Strong teacher relationships
Teachers at EF Academy aren’t just instructors — they are mentors, coaches and guides. They lead extracurricular activities, forming close bonds with students, and check in on boarding students at night. These strong relationships foster a sense of trust and provide mentorship that extends well beyond graduation. Whether you are visiting a museum, hiking or playing sports with your teachers, these experiences build lifelong connections.
A global network
EF Academy offers access to an extensive network of peers and alumni. The friendships you form don’t end when you graduate — they evolve into a powerful global network that supports you throughout your career. Whether applying to universities or exploring career opportunities, you will have a network of alumni and peers ready to help you succeed.
Clubs, sports and activities
With a wide array of extracurricular activities, EF Academy ensures there is something for everyone. From sports teams to TEDx, DECA or hiking with the Outdoor Leadership Club, you will find a community that shares your interests. And if you don’t find the perfect fit, you can create your own club!
EF Academy offers a unique experience filled with adventures, new friendships and endless opportunities for growth. We hope to welcome you to campus soon — no ties required!
