At EF International Language Schools, we have been helping students explore the world and challenge themselves with new experiences for over 45 years. With over 400,000 staff members in more than 50 countries, EF is the world's largest private language teaching organization. Whether pursuing a full Gap Year or a shorter language immersion program, EF students are given the opportunity to learn French, Spanish, German, Italian and Chinese in non-traditional academic settings. Students become fluent in languages much faster, learning in and out of the classroom, living and breathing the culture of world class destinations. They also experience new ways of looking at the world both through life in their host country and friendships with other EF students from all over the world. With internship placements and volunteer services available, EF International Language Schools offers multiple outlets for self-discovery and the development of professional skills.
