EF Preparation Camp in Australia

Prepare for your High School Year in Australia by meeting other exchange students, learning about Australian culture and practicing English. EF Preparation Camp is designed to help you get ready for your exchange year.

What you will learn

Become more comfortable speaking English before meeting your host family and starting school. You will:

  • Meet “professionals” – former EF exchange students – to hear about their experiences and ask their advice.
  • Take classes from native-speaking teachers who offer practical instruction about Australian life, culture and current events.


Are you up for the challenge?

Attending a different high school and taking classes in a foreign language is a challenge, but also rewarding. It will broaden your horizons, expose you to new things and lead to personal growth. In addition, the experience will provide you with skills that will contribute to your future academic studies and career.
