* EF Academy Pasadena is a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy—a commitment to improve the teaching and learning of a diverse and inclusive community of students by delivering challenging, high quality programmes of international education that share a powerful vision.

U.S. High School Diploma All graduates from our California and New York schools receive a U.S. High School Diploma. But first, you’ll work with your dedicated University and Academic Counselor to customize your pathway based on your goals. Choose to complete the full IB Diploma Programme or enhance your education with individual IB or AP courses. No matter your decision, you’ll graduate with a transcript of credits necessary for admission to most universities around the world.

AP Courses Advanced Placement (AP) courses are recognized worldwide for their academic rigor and are often a requirement for admission to top colleges.

They introduce high school students to first-year college content in a broad array of subjects. High performance on AP exams can frequently earn students college credits and some universities outside of the U.S. require a particular set of AP courses and exams as part of their admission requirements.

IB Diploma Programme The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) curriculum develops critical thinking, active participation, and research and writing skills to prepare you for universities worldwide and a globally interconnected world beyond. You follow six subjects and three core requirements in languages, social studies, science, mathematics, and the arts.

IB Preparation Year (Grade 10) This program is designed for students who are considering the IB Diploma Programme.

Alongside their regular coursework, they'll focus on strengthening their academic foundations, deepening subject-specific knowledge, and developing skills such as research, time management, and independent learning. The goal is to equip each student with the tools and confidence they need to thrive in the IB.

A-Level Program A-Levels is perfect for students who wish to prepare for university in Great Britain—and the qualifications you earn are also internationally recognized. Choose any combination of three or four subjects that align with your target university and career goals. Co-curricular activities, exam preparation, and university advising sessions help increase your chances of entering your dream university. This program is only offered at EF Academy Oxford.

Academic & English Accelerator Program Our Academic & English Accelerator Program, combined with ongoing English as an Additional Language (EAL) support, helps students enhance their academic writing, reading, speaking, and critical thinking skills across several subjects.

Personalized guidance and multiple start dates and durations ensure every student can gain the fluency and confidence needed to succeed in advanced coursework.

“For my essay that got me into NYU, I wrote about an Indian street food called Panipuri. I used that to make a connection between identity, culture, adaptation, and food. I used it to make the connection on how I immigrated to the United States from India.”

“I took AP computer science.

I researched a lot about it because I don't have this type of class in Japan. Taking this AP course was so helpful.

I was able to use credits from my exam scores for college.

EF Academy's AP classes are so worth it.”

“The teachers at EF Academy were incredible. They would always be open to help after school and answer any questions I had. They were also able to stretch my knowledge beyond the syllabus and make me curious about what I was learning.”

"I’m a former A-Level student at EF Academy Oxford. My time there was incredibly rewarding— the academic and personal support I received helped me secure an offer from the University of St Andrews, where I'm proud to continue my studies."
