Who can apply?


The EF High School Year program is for curious and academically motivated students who are studying full time and fulfill the age requirements of their chosen host country. You must be prepared to be an ambassador for your home country and follow the rules of the program.

Is this the right program for you?

A typical EF High School Year student is open-minded, flexible, adventurous and academically motivated. If you are in Grade 9 to 12 the year prior to your exchange and fulfill the age and grade requirements listed below, we invite you to apply to our program.

Age

Each High School Year destination country has its own age requirements based on the school system in each country. In general, students must be between 15 and 18 years old when they enter the program. Specific age requirements are listed in our brochure.

Grades

To be accepted on the program, students must have the equivalent of a C or better in all major academic subjects for the past 3 years (i.e. English, language of host country, math, science, social science and any other main academic subjects). Students must study full time during the year prior to their exchange.
