Preparation Before You Go

EF makes sure you feel comfortable and excited about the year ahead before you even leave. We take our nearly 40 years of experience in international education and put them to work for you.

Mailings

You'll receive periodic mailings containing important information about your host country. Usually there is something about the school system, religion, media or history written in your country's language.

Information meetings

These are held throughout the year for students and their parents at different locations around your country, making it easy to attend. Learn more about the program, talk to a former student and get useful material for your stay abroad. Check the news section of our website for information about upcoming meetings in your area.

Orientation meetings

Learn about living with a host family, cultural aspects of your host country, practical tips about flights, insurance, visas and more.

Language & Cultural Camp

This is a great way to learn more about your host country, make some of your first friends abroad and take a trip to an exciting city in your new country. Want to know more?
