With a first-class learning environment, our partner school is located in the city centre with restaurants, cafés, shops, cinemas, theatres and universities right on the doorstep. The school occupies 2 buildings, a 5-minute walk from each other and both with bright, spacious classrooms equipped with interactive whiteboards, computer learning centres and free Wi-Fi throughout. The school is the official IELTS test centre for the Oxford region, a testament to the quality of its courses, and many of its teachers are also official examiners. The school also offers a unique English Plus Art & Design course, with art classes taking place at the brand new city centre art studio, located on King Edward Street, a 5-minute walk from the main school. The school offers a vibrant social programme, which also includes weekly lectures and language clinics.
ESL schools guarantee the same excellent standards for accommodation as they do for teaching. We take great pleasure in helping you find the most suitable accommodation for you.
Host family
Our partner school offers carefully selected host families in some of the best residential areas in Oxford, normally within 15-30 minutes by bus from the school. You'll stay a single room with half-board, sharing breakfast and dinner with the family, which will give you the opportunity to practise your English and gain an insight into the daily lives of the locals. Twin rooms are also possible during summer (or year-round if you are travelling with a friend). While bed linen is provided and a weekly laundry service is included, you must bring your own bath towels. Free Wi-Fi is guaranteed outside high season.
