overlooking the bay in a touristic town
with friendly locals and lots to do—
from kayaking excursions and a school
swim team to the Duke of Edinburgh
Award and a field trip to Tibet! Stu-
dents are welcome to complete their
International GCSE’s before moving up
to IB or A-Levels.
EF Academy Oxford is a smaller
university prep environment, home
to just 175 students in 6th form alone.
The experience is superbly intellectual,
in the academic heart of Britain—
cobblestone streets, cafes, and even the
occasional lecture at Oxford University.
This campus attracts an undeniably
mature cohort of students who enjoy
relative independence to explore the
cities of Oxford and London.
Student Spotlight –
Carissa Da Silva
Carissa Da Silva, a former Somersfield
Academy student discusses why she
chose EF Academy. “I’ve attended
Somersfield for 6 years. They have the
IB Program, but when I was graduat-
ing they didn’t offer the final 2 years,”
says Carissa. “I wanted to finish my IB
Diploma and looked at schools here
before looking abroad.” One of the
first schools Carissa considered was EF
Academy. She visited the school and fell
in love with the campus. “EF Academy
is everything I wanted and more.”

What were you looking forward to, and
what have been some highlights your
first year at EF Academy New York?
“They are one of the only IB boarding
schools in New York and I felt it was the
best of both worlds. I wanted to experi-
ence New York in the winter and walk
around Central Park. I’ve recently dis-
covered my love for photography, and
it’s amazing being able to photograph
New York. I’ve also made new friends
from all over the world and have been
practicing new languages and learning
so much about other cultures.”
When asked about highlights from
her first year at EF, she smiled and
listed off two things: being on the girls’
soccer team and exploring Europe on a
spring break field trip with her teacher
and fellow classmates.
