A very high proportion of our students come to us on personal recommendation from friends and colleagues who have attended our courses in the past. The school is situated in a pleasant area of North Oxford, within easy reach of the city centre. We believe that students benefit from learning with the same group of people drawn from all nationalities. Therefore we do not allow continuous enrolment and impose quotas to ensure that no one nationality dominates a course. Accommodation is arranged with selected host families, all within a short distance of the school.
Regular inspections guarantee high standards and a warm welcome.
Our Accommodation Officer pays special attention to your background and age, to place you in a home where you will feel comfortable. We strongly recommend our family accommodation as the best way of fitting into the English way of life, as well as providing informal conversation practice to build confidence and complement the classroom experiences of learning English. Alternatively, we can reserve you a room at a local hotel or guest house. A full and varied social and excursion programme is offered. With a maximum of 140 students, we are large enough to be a lively community, while remaining small enough to cater to individual needs.
