About EF Explore America

EF Explore America brings students face to face with iconic history, rich culture, and natural landscapes on class trips across North America. In partnership with educators, our programs amplify the classroom experience through hands-on learning and human connection. We believe having these impactful experiences at a formative age leads to more self-discovery, empowering middle-schoolers to see the world around them in a whole new light.

At EF Education First, we believe that the world is better when people try to understand one another. Since 1965, EF has helped millions of people see new places, experience new cultures, and learn new things about the world and about themselves.
