Why through LCIS specifically
Handled administration
We collect documents, translate where needed, and deal with the partner's onboarding paperwork — you sign, we run the rest.
Timeline coordination
Visa deadlines, tuition windows, language exam dates and university intakes are stitched together so nothing slips between providers.
Post-departure support
After you arrive, our team stays on call for renewals, ID issues, residence permits and the small problems no one warned you about.
Combined with
Most students don't need just one partner. Here's what we typically pair this with for a complete pathway.
Pricing & enrollment
EF tuition varies sharply by program (language campus vs. boarding academy vs. university prep) and by destination. We quote per case.
Tuition
EF Academy and EF University Prep are priced as full academic programs; EF language campuses are priced per week or per session. We quote your exact case based on destination and length.
Intake months

Application steps
We match you to the right EF layer — language, academy or university prep.
