School Notes
- EF Academy Oxford is A School Like No Other: a private day and boarding school for students aged 1619 that prepares them for success in a fast-changing world. Our campus is in Headington, a leafy residential area close to the historic center of Oxford, England's oldest university city. Tech-equipped classrooms, modern science labs, and art and music studios sit alongside green lawns, and Oxford Brookes University Library is a short walk away. Students can attend as day students or choose five- or seven-day boarding.
- EF Academy is a global boarding school where learning happens everywhere: in the residences, in Oxford's museums and libraries, at guest lectures and the theater, and on trips to London and beyond. Student-led clubs range from debate and music to entrepreneurship and community service, and graduation takes place in Oxford's historic Divinity School. Our students come from 30+ nationalities, and that diversity shapes every part of life and learning on campus.
- Learning is personalized from day one. Classes are small, with one teacher for every 12 students. EF's Efekta System is adding a personal AI tutor that finds where a student is struggling and coaches them toward understanding without giving the answers away. That means teachers spend less time guessing who needs help and more time teaching and inspiring. Students choose the pathway that fits their goals: A-Levels or the IB Diploma. Alongside academics, our Life Skills Workshop Series builds the skills AI can't replace, like public speaking, resilience and creative thinking.
- With dedicated university counselors, 92% of our students get into their first- or second-choice university.

Review
Description
One thing that stood out for me was the fact that we were all from different parts of the world. It was like all four corners of the Earth assembled at my school. The school. . .
I would say that the uniqueness of Oxford EF Academy is in its location because it is really not far away from the City Centre (20 min walk or 5-10 mins by bus), its also. . .
EF Academy is the only international boarding school which has many cultural diversities with students from 72 different countries that has given the student a lot of opportunities not only studying in the UK either. . .
