ABOUT EF
For over 55 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to one global mission: Opening the World Through Education. Our programs help students expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, grow more confident and independent, and understand new people, places, and cultures.
Ancient ruins and amazing reefs blend together in an environmental wonderland of jungles and coastlines. Belize is Central America's eco-frontier, a young nation with ancient roots that welcomes you with diverse ecosystems and wildlife, as well as different languages and cultures. Discover the mysteries of the Maya civilization, zip line through lush jungles and snorkel in the crystal-clear Caribbean.
