Location: EF International Language Center Cambridge is located in the infamous university city of Cambridge, in eastern England. Home to some of the world's most prestigious universities and colleges, Cambridge is essentially extremely student-friendly, offering much history and comforts, making sure that students feel welcome and galvanised during their time studying in the city. EF Cambridge is housed within a fantastic renovated Victorian building, a stone's throw from many shops, gastro-pubs, restaurants and further attractions of the city. With its very own private garden, students are sure to feel at home whilst reaching their language goals with EF Cambridge. In addition to the multiple museums and trips around academic institutes, Cambridge also has a wonderful Botanic Garden which is only a short 15-minute walk from the school's front doors.

School facilities: The facilities of the school are excellent, offering everything a student may need to reach their language goals in a comfortable and motivating environment. These facilities include a cafeteria, a computer lab, a lounge area, a games room and a garden. All classrooms are equipped with air conditioning, heating and ample natural light to create an optimal learning environment.

Course selection: EF Cambridge is open to students of all levels and ages at various times throughout the year. For adults, several programmes take place the whole year round, whilst junior immersive or day programmes are available through the summer months.

School chain: EF was founded in Sweden over 55 years ago. It has since then helped millions of people experience new cultures, see new places and learn new things about the world and about themselves. Across the globe, they have more than 600 schools and offices in over 50 countries, delivering the best in education and student care throughout all locations. As a group, EF has hubs in Boston, London, Barcelona, Mexico City, São Paulo, Shanghai, Stockholm, Zürich, and more!

EF understands that language programmes can be much more than the sole process of learning a language, as cultural immersion and diversity play a key part in any student's educational and life development.

Throughout the EF schools, programmes are readily available to adults and juniors, for career, personal and educational development.
