Success requires more than what most traditional schools teach

Tech is changing the ways we learn and work, but some things remain the same. Public speaking, time management, judgement under pressure: these are the qualities that decide how well someone does in life. Today’s students will also need to hone their confidence, empathy, and creativity – the human qualities that can never be automated. 

That’s why we developed our Life Skills Workshop Series, to ensure that every EF Academy student graduates with the tools to succeed in the real world. In one of our monthly workshops, you might:

Train your resilience

Explore how high performers respond to setbacks, stay focused under pressure and keep moving forward in a course designed by a former Tour de France rider and coach.

Think like a creative

Take on Design Thinking challenges developed in collaboration with the Nobel Prize Museum, learning to question assumptions, make unexpected connections and approach problems from a different angle.

Speak to be heard

Refine the pitch of your brand-new start-up idea, with the chance to present your work to an audience of over 1,000 people.

These life skills aren’t an add-on to education; they’re the key to success.
