Accomodation

Host family
Accommodation is offered in individual rooms with half board. The families are carefully selected, and are located about 40 minutes from the school. Staying with a host family gives you the opportunity to practise English daily in a natural and stimulating environment.
Student house (from 18 years old)
With your own room in a shared apartment, this option suits more independent students. Meals are at your own expense, but you have a kitchen at your disposal. The bathroom is also shared with your flatmates.

Leisure

In town, the cultural life is dense and ideal for students. From the cinema to the theatre, passing through concert halls and pubs on the way, it is difficult to get bored in Oxford. Outdoors, those who love open spaces will be enchanted by the magnificent natural scenery that surrounds the city. The school organises sports activities and outings, especially on the weekends. And London is only an hour away. The capital offers one of the richest cultural calendars in the world, for all tastes at any time!
