Private and boarding schools

EF has selected a small, but exclusive, group of private schools in Australia, UK, Canada and USA that has a wide choice of subjects and extra curricular activities, offering something for every student. The majority of these schools offer boarding (accommodation at the school residence) along with the academic program, while a few have host family accommodation available. A perfect option for the more independant student. Please note that this program is not administered by EF Foundation for Foreign Study.

Students can apply to attend the school for one year only or a longer period, making it possible to gain a foreign high school diploma and maybe even continue on to university abroad.

  • Support and help through the whole application process
  • Travel more independently
  • Access to price competitive and qualitative flights, money cards and phone cards for your exchange year abroad
