Students traveling to California with EF are looking forward to soaking up the sun while making lifelong friendship with their host families and fellow students. EF students come here in hopes of improving their English skills through language courses, provided by EF, and by speaking with their host families on a daily basis.
California is such a great location for our students because it offers something for everyone. Depending on their location, students will have the opportunity to visit a number of amazing landmarks, theme parks, and cities, including the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, Universal Studios, and Hollywood. EF organizes daily excursions that allow students to get out and experience true California culture. These afternoon excursions could include a trip to a local museum, the beach, or shopping. Outside of school and planned activities and excursions, students all become a part of an EF host family in California to explore everyday life on the West Coast first hand.
