ABOUT EF
For over 55 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to one global mission: Opening the World Through Education. Our programs help students expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, grow more confident and independent, and understand new people, places, and cultures.
Paris and Madrid are home to some of the best art in the world.
Works by Velazquez and Goya at the Prado, masterpieces like the Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa at the Louvre—the collections span many styles and art movements. Meanwhile, fine baroque architecture is evident in Madrid’s Palacio Real, while the history of France is honored in the Arc de Triomphe.
