EF Academy Pasadena

Dear students and families,

Studying abroad is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Giving students the opportunity to be part of an international boarding school community opens a world of opportunities and allows them to develop independence and initiative to make the most informed and uniquely personal decisions about their path to university and beyond.

The future demand is for originality of thinking, innovation and the ability to collaborate across multiple global perspectives. Bringing students together from different backgrounds creates an environment for intercultural understanding and appreciation that is hard to replicate in mono-culture schools. Inspiring new ways of thinking, each student brings a wealth of knowledge and students learn from one another both in and out of the classroom. Our students and staff represent over 60 countries, giving students the opportunity to expand their global awareness while building a network of peers across the world.

We offer a range of subjects and signature programs that allow our students to excel academically as well as a wide variety of co-curricular activities that help them become well-rounded, global citizens. Being able to make choices about what to study is an important step in determining what students are passionate about. It also instills confidence and allows them to take ownership of their decisions. Alongside teachers, advisors, coaches, residential staff and Pathway Managers, students are guided and supported in a caring environment that puts social-emotional learning at the forefront. We aim to be much more than a school, as we not only prepare students for university, but also for life!

We look forward to helping you uncover a world of opportunities so you can pursue your dreams. I look forward to meeting you on campus here in Pasadena, California!
