Some companies are in the Business of Technology.
Others are in the Business of Finance…Or Sports…Or Soft Drinks.
At EF, we’re in a different kind of business.
Because our business, what we make, makes everything else possible.
We’re in the Business of Understanding.
Between people. Between cultures.

For over half a century, we’ve been the leader in international educational programs and methods designed to foster such understanding. Through Language, Cultural Exchange, Academic Studies, and Educational Travel, we create the kinds of immersive experiences that challenge biases, open minds, and pave the way for a more understanding world. And yes, we have technology, we have finance, we even have sports with our own professional cycling team, EF Education - EasyPost. But it’s what we do with it—building greater understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a better world—that makes all the difference.

At EF Academy, we’re all about the latter—creating immersive environments for learning and growth through our private day and boarding high schools in Pasadena, New York, and Oxford.

About EF Education First:

Yes, we’re a large global company of 55,000 employees in 115 countries, but we act with the nimbleness and agility of a much smaller organization. Founded and run by the same family since 1965. We’re always on the lookout for people with drive, creativity, empathy, and what we like to call ‘fingerspitzengefuhl’ (German for ‘keeping one’s finger on the pulse’), to help us continue our journey: to transform lives, and yes, make the world a better place.
