EF Academy has created a unique Academic & English Accelerator Program specifically designed to guarantee success for international students who need English language support before starting high school. With personalized learning plans, students rapidly build the academic English skills required for demanding coursework. Upon completion of the Program, students become part of our EAL (English as an Additional Language) program, where they continue to receive language support during their first year at EF Academy

I was able to dive into different subjects until deciding what I would major in university. My advisor was really helpful in facilitating my academic exploration and pointing me toward the disciplines that best fit my skills and interests. I owe it to them that I was able to make an educated choice and choose a major that I really like studying.”
