About EF Education First:

Founded in 1965, EF (Education First) is a global association of education companies that shares a common mission of opening the world through education, offering language, academic, cultural exchange and education travel programs.  

Some companies are in the business of technology.  

Others are in the business of finance, sports, or soft drinks. 

At EF, we’re in a different kind of business.  

One that’s a little less tangible, and a lot more important. We’re in the business of understanding.   

For 60 years we’ve been the leader in international educational programs and culturally rich travel experiences with the power to change how people think, feel and act. The programs we deliver open the world to students and travelers in ways that challenge biases, overcome barriers, and pave the way for a more understanding world.  You’ll find us working across more than 50 countries, with offices in some of the world’s greatest cities—each one filled with smart, driven people who push each other to be better every day.  And yes, we have technology, we have finance, we even have sports with our own professional cycling team.  But it’s what we do with it—building greater understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a better world that makes all the difference.
