Mastery of skills, not memorization of facts

Here, you learn how to think—the real secret to success. Our holistic approach to learning is designed around the skills and knowledge you will need to flourish in life, not just facts and figures to pass the next test. Because it’s not the knowledge itself that’s important. It’s how you use it.

Combining education with community service

Como parte do programa Criatividade, Atividade e Serviço (CAS), os estudantes trabalham em um projeto sobre algo pelo qual são apaixonados. A estudante italiana Giorgia e alguns de seus colegas de classe organizaram um evento de arrecadação de fundos no campus, unindo suas paixões e habilidades aprendidas na escola para beneficiar a comunidade. Eles pesquisaram instituições de caridade, planejaram meticulosamente, fizeram marketing através de panfletos e redes sociais, e prepararam e venderam comida, doando os lucros para o Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary. Giorgia reflete: "Foi uma experiência gratificante, que nos uniu como uma família solidária enquanto ajudávamos animais necessitados."

We design classes that are skills-based

Every class you take, whether English, chemistry or Computer Science, is carefully designed so that you are gaining both knowledge in that subject and practical skills that you can use throughout your life. In the case of English, for example, you learn how to analyze a text using the core competency of critical thinking to determine whether what you’re reading is based on fact or opinion.

You always produce evidence of what you’ve learned

Like real life, it’s important to prove your understanding of a topic with concrete examples of how you’ve applied the knowledge. At EF Academy, your grades will reflect the quality of your work and mastery of key skills, not just the average of the quizzes and tests you take. So get ready to complete assignments, collaborate on projects, and create original works that solve real-world problems with practical solutions.

Get more than just a test score

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a unique opportunity for students to enhance their critical thinking, project management, analysis, research, and presentation skills. Completed alongside A-levels, it allows students to explore a personal interest beyond the standard curriculum by conceiving, planning and executing a research project, all while gaining a distinctive edge in university applications and future careers.
