Our Students

60 Nations  \ 4 Campuses \  1 Global School

Diversity amplifies learning. With students from over 60 nations, there is no school on the planet as diverse as EF International Academy. Learning alongside world-class peers from around the globe, our students encounter new cultures, perspectives, and beliefs in every single classroom exchange. Diversity enables students to think critically about the world and their place in it, encouraging them to become self-motivated global citizens ready to lead tomorrow’s world.

The diversity on the EF International Academy campus promotes global concepts — ranging from literature to economics — to play out in an inclusive classroom setting. For instance, students don't simply read about history. They discuss the world's political systems and history in real-time with fellow classmates from Germany, China, Canada, the United States and more. Students are offered a variety of different viewpoints, and encouraged to ask, research, and analyze the information to form their own opinions about the subject matter.

Our students are …

… Intellectually curious: They are naturally interested in the world around them and are internally motivated to learn more.

… Hardworking: In addition to managing busy classroom schedules and homework
assignments, our students dedicate significant time to independent study and research.

… Multilingual: Many students speak two or more languages when they come to EF International Academy; all students do so when they leave.

… Open-minded: Living and studying with classmates from around the world takes an open mind and a willingness to listen and change as a person. 

… Creative: They love music, theatre and literature, but their creativity isn’t limited to the arts, it’s also found in math class, science lab and on the sports field.

… Ready to laugh: A good sense of humour helps students cope with life’s occasional setbacks, not to mention challenging workloads.

… Eager to have fun: Students enjoy rock climbing, football, bi cycling along the river and taking school excursions to Boston, London and elsewhere.

 … Responsible: Living in a dorm leads to independence and maturity, but our students know that independence comes with responsibilities.

… Motivated: Students from around the globe at tend our schools; they are motivated to succeed, and they are motivated to make the world a better place.

… Enthusiastic: In the classroom, on the sports field, and during passionate late-night debates, our students bring enthusiasm to every endeavour.
