Our students

Our students come from countries on different continents, from cities and rural areas, and from almost ever y background imaginable. It’s nearly impossible to describe our students in a few words.

However, a typical EF International Academy student does possess certain character traits.

Our students are …

… Intellectually curious: They are naturally interested in the world around them and are internally motivated to learn more.

… Hardworking: In addition to managing busy classroom schedules and homework
assignments, our students dedicate significant time to independent study and research.

… Multilingual: Many students speak two or more languages when they come to EF International Academy; al l students do so when they leave.



… Open-minded: Living and studying with classmates from around the world takes an open mind and a willingness to listen and change as a person.

… Creative: They love music, theatre and literature, but their creativity isn’t limited to the arts, it’s also found in math class, science lab and on the sports field.

… Ready to laugh: A good sense of humour helps students cope with life’s occasional setbacks, not to mention challenging workloads.

… Eager to have fun: Students enjoy rock climbing, football, bi cycling along the river and taking school excursions to Boston, London and elsewhere.

 

… Responsible: Living in a dorm leads to independence and maturity, but our students know that independence comes with responsibilities.

… Motivated: Students from around the globe at tend our schools; they are motivated to succeed, and they are motivated to make the world a better place.

… Enthusiastic: In the classroom, on the sports field, and during passionate late-night debates, our students bring enthusiasm to every endeavour.
