With flexibility in a small-group environment, your teacher can focus on your personal learning needs and interests.

EF teachers make the difference
All EF teachers hold specialist qualifications to teach a language to non-native speakers. They have experience in an international environment and attend regular trainings to maintain their teaching skills. But that’s not why our students rave about them – it’s their dedication, enthusiasm and creativity in the classroom that makes learning a language fun!

Live the language
Designed for students aged up to 16, EF’s junior courses provide personalized support that begins during a free consultation with an EF Educational Counsellor, where we assess your needs and interests to determine the right junior school for you. Because we recognize that studying at the right level is essential, you’ll take a placement test before you leave for your course and you’ll be placed in a class with students at your level. For lesson details, see ‘The Junior Course’ section below.
With EF’s proven full immersion method you’ll learn the local language of your destination around the clock. Once class is over for the day your practice time is just beginning! You’ll find yourself using your language skills in a wide variety of real-life situations. Chat with your new EF friends at lunch in the school cafe, during daily activities or on exciting EF Discovery Pack weekend excursions. Talk with your homestay hosts during your evening meal – they’ll be happy to help you practice. You’ll be having so much fun that you’ll soon start to use the language in a natural way.

The Course Deposit will be refunded if your visa application is denied - If you cancel less than 45 days prior to
departure, EF will retain 40% of the Student Services and Accommodation (max. $500 for EF International Language Centres in the USA, for all other EF International Language Centres maximum $1000) to cover the cost of pre-paid accommodation and services. - In case the student changes the booking to another destination where fees are lower, the difference in fees between the destinations will not be refunded. In the event that the World Health organization (WHO), or an international governmental health authority issues a country-specific travel warning or forbids travel, EF students have the right to postpone or re-book travel within a period of 365 days. If students wish to cancel, the above stated cancellation stipulations apply. Withdrawals All withdrawals need to be made in writing to EF. If you wish to withdraw from your course after arrival at the EF International Language Centre, you must inform the EF Programme Director and sign a copy of the course change notification form. This is your proof of your withdrawal, so please keep until you have received your refund. Refunds can only be made by the EF office or representative where the course fees were paid, and EF will process all refunds within 45 days of receipt of written notification. For all courses in the USA: If an applicant accepted by the institution enters the United States on student visa obtained with a I-20 form issued by the institution and subsequently cancels prior to the start of scheduled classes or never attends class, the institution may retain all the tuition charges for the first 4 weeks of the course, any actual housing costs incurred and a maximum of $500 for non-refundable charges including any application/registration fee, courier fees and travel cancellation insurance if such charges are clearly noted in the enrolment agreement as being non-refundable. If you wish to withdraw from your course after arrival at the EF International Language Centre and before the mid-point of your course, EF will keep all fees for the first 4 weeks of your course, as well as any non-refundable fees. You will receive a full tuition refund for all remaining weeks. If you terminate your course after the midpoint of your course, EF may retain all remaining tuition and student services charges. The course is defined as the entire period of booked study, i.e. it may consist of several terms or semesters, but payment is for a maximum of 12 months. For all other courses: If you wish to withdraw from your course after arrival at the school, you must give the EF Programme Director at your school at least four (4) weeks advance notice. You will receive a full refund for all remaining weeks after the four-week notice period. These conditions do not affect your rights as defined by the consumer protection laws in your host country. Note: there is a separate Refund Policy for the Academic Year Abroad and Multi-Language Year Programmes. Students applying for these programmes will be sent an enrolment packet with full information. Cancellation Insurance EF Cancellation Insurance is charged at a one-time fee of $65. This premium must be paid at the same time as the Enrolment Fee and is non-refundable. If you are forced to cancel before departure due to illness, or illness in your immediate family, EF will refund the Course Price, irrespective of when notice is received. The insurance premium itself, the Enrolment Fee and the Courier Fee are non-refundable. Note: a doctor’s certificate must be provided with each claim. Travel Insurance All participants travelling to the USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia are required to have medical and accident insurance.

We have negotiated favourable premiums and a tailor-made coverage for EF students with an international insurance company expert in travel insurance. The policy protects you against expenses incurred through accident or illness, and provides coverage for loss or theft of baggage and personal effects. It also provides coverage against interruption of your EF course due to illness as well as Liability. The cost of this insurance is $72 for the first two weeks, then $25 for each additional week. If you do not wish to take this policy, please indicate so on the Enrolment Form, and provide us with a copy in English of the alternative insurance policy you have taken out individually.

(This does not apply to students who are extending their course.) Late Arrivals and Absences If you arrive late to a course, or are absent during your course, no refund will be granted. Periods of absence may not be made up with free extension of the course.
