EF Academy Pasadena Expands Enrollment After Inaugural Year

A private day and boarding school announced it will expand overall enrollment and welcome up to 300 local California students in grades 9-12 to join its global community of learners.

EF Academy Pasadena opened in August 2022 at the former William Carey University site, with more than 125 national and international students.

As it builds to an eventual total enrollment of more than 1,000, the school is accepting local Southern California students to its elite college-preparatory program.

“Our engaging and immersive academic and student life programs, which are intentionally designed for our uniquely global student body, create a learning community unlike any other in the LA area. We’re fortunate to be in the position to bring that experience to more students in Southern California,” said Dr. Sally Mingarelli, EF Academy Pasadena’s Head of School.

EF Academy Pasadena is currently accepting applications for the Fall 2023 semester. Local families are encouraged to attend an upcoming Open House on Saturday, April 22 and Saturday, May 20. Please visit for more information, a virtual campus tour, and key admissions dates.
