Welcome to the International School of Life, an opportunity for you to get ahead in the world before you take it on.

Only 66 percent of US university students beginning their first semester of school will actually finish the year, according to national research. Why? Perhaps they are not prepared for the changes involved in moving into a challenging adult and academic-oriented environment.

Also, many graduates find themselves in the bind of having a diploma, but no experience. Despite their hard work in college, they are forced to answer phones and live with their parents while their degrees collect dust on a shelf. Why? Many companies only want to hire people who have experience.

Here at TEFL International we have found the solution. We have learned the ultimate value in attending an "International School of Life". And now we want to share that experience with you.

After over a decade of professionally training English teachers in various exotic locations, we have found both professionally and personally that those who spend time in a different culture learn the valuable lessons of tolerance, responsibility, open-mindedness, sensitivity to others, the importance of hard work, and learning balanced with enjoying your environment. In essence, there is much in this experience that you cannot put a price on: the value of maturity

Most people who have worked a year abroad in a foreign country find it a more valuable educational experience than a year at a university. Well, we at TEFL International have created a program to allow you that valuable experience in its entirety. Add value and purpose to your future work and university studies with the support of our experienced staff. This is the perfect year abroad experience before you go to university or college.

With the TEFL International School of Life you get:

• One year overseas in an exotic location that fully prepares you and maintains 24 hour support, without taking away the conditions for you to learn self-dependency and independence.


• A language learning program that puts you in a natural environment with native speakers and counts for credit toward your upcoming university / college studies.


• A chance to give back to the community you are in, earn pocket money while there, and gain valuable future work experience as well as future contacts in the location you choose.
