EF has set the standard for travel-based learning for 60 years. Not only do our educational tours amplify the lessons your child is already exploring in the classroom, but they also help build more empathy, open-mindedness, confidence, and cultural understanding. And (maybe most importantly!) our tours are fun. Your child will experience dozens of magical a-ha! moments out in the world with EF that reignite their love of exploration, discovery, and learning.

"When you go into the world, you're able to talk to new people and change is inevitable. You evolve and grow. I saw that change in my daughter."
Briscilla A., parent
Our educational philosophy, the EF Method, helps students build essential skills needed for future readiness in three primary growth areas. We build all of our itineraries based on the EF Method, so students are immersed in a continuous journey of experiential learning from the moment they arrive.
"The tour broadened the horizons of my students and has inspired them to be lifelong learners and travelers. They see the world in a different light.”
Daniel C., Principal
But don’t just take it from us—hear from our travelers
say their tour expanded their knowledge of the world
say they understand more about peoples, places, things
say they discovered more about themselves
say they grew more confident and independent

Our educational tools give your child even more opportunities to grow from their experience—in tangible ways, too. And we’re accredited, just like their school. This means all of EF’s programs meet the highest of educational standards, and it enables us to offer our own unique academic courses designed to complement and deepen your students’ travel-based learning experience.
