    EF is a great school and the staff really cares about your issues, whether it be mental health wise or a complaint regarding the school or your room. I’ve had a great experience here so far. The teachers really care about you and really want you to succeed in your classes. Our classes also don’t start super early, they usually start at 8:30AM or 9:00AM which is good for me because I enjoy sleeping in. We also have a lot of foreign students who come to EF and have some difficulty speaking English fluently and it’s so amazing to see the difference in their language skills from when they first get here till just a month in.
    I’m not sure why there are so many bad reviews about the school and why there are so many complaints regarding the school/staff not caring. When I first got to EF, I was having trouble with my room. I have asthma so I specifically got a double room to avoid having carpeting. When I arrived I had the only room with carpeting in the hall. I complained and they were very quick to move me into a new room that better fit my health needs. The staff was so understanding about everything and the process was really quick and things got resolved really fast.
    During the first week there were times were I felt I wasn’t fitting in and I wasn’t integrating well into the school. I didn’t know who to go to because I was so new to the school and I didn’t have many friends. I went to the nurse, Michelle, and she sat down with me and talked to me about my issues and she really helped me. The nurses are amazing and they are honestly a great support system to have.
    EF is really amazing and it’s honestly a great experience. You meet so many people from all over the world with different cultural backgrounds.
    The school is pretty close to NYC too and you can pretty much go over every weekend. It’s also close to this shopping center with an Acme (American grocery store), a nail salon, places to go waxing, an Asian restaurant, an ice cream place, and so much more. It’s a 5 minute walk from the school and you can pretty much get anything you need without having to spend money on an Uber. There’s also a mall nearby with a movie theatre, a target, but most importantly, a Chipotle. There are also other restaurants in that area if you feel like you don’t want to go to NYC for the weekend.
    However, eating out is pretty expensive so I’m really glad that the cafeteria food is good. I’m a HUGE foodie so food is like at the top of my list of priorities. The best thing about the cafe is that you can request certain food if you want to have it available, they also have a salad bar, a pasta bar and a soup bar. They recently added in an Asian section to the cafeteria and it’s amazing. We also recently had a celebrity chef come in to cook for the school and it was sooo good, I got like 3 plates of food for one meal that day. If you have a sweet tooth like me, you’re gonna be happy to hear that there is ALWAYS dessert. On top of that, the school does a monthly birthday day where they tell you who’s birthday is happening that month and they bring in cupcakes for every hallway.
    They have a really wide course selection too, when I first got here, I wanted to do every class. I ended up changing my schedule 6 times because I kept finding new classes I wanted to be in. I’m so glad my counselor is super understanding because I kept going to her every 3 days to change my schedule LOL. I’m also really glad that the teachers were super understanding too. I still see teachers in the hall who’s classes I was only in for a few days and they always ask me how I’m doing and if I’m enjoying it here.
    It’s really easy to make friends, when you first get here it’s pretty scary because it’s quite a big school. However, they put you in groups with people are also new and live in your hall to help you make friends and build a support group. Even if you don’t make good friends durring the first week, once classes start, you start to realize there are so many people and so many potential friends, it’s almost impossible to not find your group here.

    I am currently attending EF Academy New York campus and I have made so many good memories in here. Since EF is an international boarding school, you can meet so many people from all over the countries. Even though there are sometimes cultural conflicts happens, but this is nothing compare to the happiness that you would get by making new friends and learning new cultures. Also, since most of the students live in the dorm, the school offers a lot of fun activities such as movie night, ice cream party, pizza party, Rap battles, and so on. The one thing that I really like EF about is that EF gives so many opportunities to art and music students. Students in Art class and club paint the school wall (inside) and the hallway walls has students' art work displayed. Moreover, there are a lot of music concert and the singers and instrument players are all students. They are very talented and I like how supportive EF is to these amazing students.

    My daughter Started in the Sophomore year and is really happy. Her grades are wonderful and she takes pride sharing those with us. She has made many wonderful friends from all over the world and has a wonderful rapport with her teachers and the house parents. As a boarding student parent, you always wonder what your child is experiencing being away from home. At EF Academy, my daughter not only has flourished, she truly does enjoy her time there. And more importantly is on track with her academic goals.

    As a parent, I personally have found the level of communication beyond expectation, the focus and encouragement for each student to achieve their personal and academic goals inspiring. The professionalism of the staff and faculty and the general open communication and transparency of the school and their mission is refreshing.

    If you want your child to excel academically and still enjoy a boarding school experience, I would not hesitate to look at EF Academy.
