Founded in 1965, EF (Education First) is a global education company with a shared mission of opening the world through education through language, academics, cultural exchange, and educational travel. 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. We're in the business of understanding. For more than 60 years, we've helped people experience the world in ways that challenge perspectives, overcome barriers, and build greater understanding across cultures. With offices in more than 50 countries and a global team of passionate professionals, EF continues to create life-changing educational experiences for millions of students every year.

About Us

Some companies are in the business of banking. Others are in the business of shoes. Or 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. 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 experiences 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. You’ll find our offices and schools located in some of the world’s greatest cities, and filled with smart, driven people (over 50,000 of us) who push each other to be better every day. But it’s what we do together - building greater understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a better world - that makes all the difference. Founded in 1965 in Sweden, EF (Education First) is a global association of education companies that share a common mission of opening the world through education. EF has been recognized on Forbes 2025 and 2024 World’s Best Employers and 2024 Top Companies for Women lists, Fast Company’s 2025 Next Big Things In Tech, and was a 2024 App Store Award winner in Cultural Impact.
