Others are in the Business of Finance….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 115 offices located in some of the world's greatest cities, and filled with smart, driven people who push each other to be better every day. And yes, we have technology, we have finance, we even have sports with our own professional cycling team. But it's what we do with it - Building greater understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a better world…that makes all the difference.
