Academic Program

 

EF students can be long-term or short-term. The long-term students often stay between 6 and 9 months. They come in January, April and September, and they are called Academic Year or Semester students.

 

The short-term students can choose a flexible set of of weeks or months to meet their needs, and we take in new short-term students every Monday. These students are sometimes called ILS.

 

We offer 5 course types at EF International Language Schools, comprised of 40 minute lessons.

 

At EF Toronto, these lessons are always taught in 80-minute blocks.
