Location: EF International Language Center Singapore is located on the culturally rich island of Singapore, in southeast Asia. The school is housed in a stylish building in the Singapore River district, a short journey from the Singapore National Gallery, Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, Clarke Quay Shopping Center, Chinatown and the Esplanade. Students of EF Singapore have much to keep them busy in the proximity of the school. EF Singapore is also within walking distance of shops, eateries and supermarkets. The Clarke Quay subway station is right in front of the school, ensuring that students can travel all over the city with ease. The Singapore Changi Airport is within a 70-minute train or 17-minute taxi ride from the school's front doors.

School facilities: The facilities of EF Singapore offer everything that a student may need to reach their language goals in a comfortable and motivating environment. Facilities include a cafeteria, computer lab, rooftop terrace, table games, free WIFI and a student support desk for any further questions or queries that may arise. All classrooms are equipped with air conditioning, heating and have ample natural light to create an optimal learning environment.

Social and Cultural: EF Singapore organises regular excursions to Bintan Island and Kuala Lumpur.

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.

If your intention is to dedicate the coming weeks or months to serious English study, then the Intensive course delivered by EF at their modern campus in central Singapore. The classes require a commitment of roughly 21 hours per week, and reward participants with the fastest improvement that the school has to offer.

Besides the carefully designed curriculum, part of the reason students improve their skills so significantly on this course is due to the large amount of time they spend conversing with their classmates in English - this is also compounded by the days out that the school occasionally organises, which take students to places such as Sentosa, Pulau Ubin and St. John's as well as trips to Universal Studios.

As additional support for reaching your language goals, you will receive 10 Special Interest Lessons, which are customisable depending on your interests.
