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.
Previously hidden behind the Iron Curtain, Eastern Europe is a gem that you’re bound to recognize from some of your favorite movies and TV shows.
In fact, the entire region is bursting with photogenic natural wonders and a varied history you can’t help but feel. Relax alongside pristine blue lakes, then enjoy countrysides filled with towering castles, impressive cave systems, and towns filled with terra-cotta Adriatic charm.
