As part of a campus-wide clean-up on the 97-acre property in Thornwood, students collected nearly 1.5 tons of garbage that had piled up over 15 years from the previous two owners of the property.
EF Academy is an affiliate of Switzerland-based EF Education First, which owns the EF International Language Center in Tarrytown, which hosts about 5,000 students from 70 countries on the former Marymount College campus.
EF Academy bought the former Thornwood Conference Center property on Columbus Ave. for $17 million from The Legionaries of Christ.
