Frequently asked questions

We have no formal dress code. You can wear whatever best expresses your personality. Remember, though, that EF Academy students come from a broad range of cultures and backgrounds, so you should always dress in a way that doesn’t cause discomfort to others.

Though not mandatory, we strongly encourage students to join after school programs like clubs and sports, as well as excursions and events organized by our activities team. Exploring a mutual interest is the easiest way to make friends quickly.

Absolutely! We have sports across the whole year where students can practice and compete. We also encourage students to try new sports by joining one or more of our seasonal sports. It’s a great way to make new friends and develop your teamwork and leadership skills.

Many of the clubs offered on-campus are driven by student interest, so the themes range widely from the arts and hobbies to nature exploring and student council. What you do as a member depends on the theme. If you join the Duke of Edinburgh, for example, you’ll go on hikes in the surrounding nature.

We always encourage you to explore activities you wouldn't normally try to discover new interests. You just never know. But if you're passionate about something in particular that isn’t currently offered, speak with our activities team to start your own club!
