Language school Oxford, BSC

School

Our partner school is situated on the main shopping street, at the heart of the historical district, opposite the University and close to a multitude of shops, bars, restaurants and cafés. The school has 17 bright and comfortable classrooms, a computer room with free Internet access and a large library where you will be able to work independently. In order to relax after class and to meet up with your friends, you can head to the cafeteria. Finally, the school distinguishes itself by having a Job Club, where students can get information concerning student jobs. In this way, the school becomes a favourable platform for those who wish to find part-time work during their studies. This service is free and gives appointments to interested students once every two weeks in order that they may find out information on potential employers (bars, hotels, promotional work, shops. etc.). Participants are given information regarding the laws and methods in force and benefit from a complementary personalised service on how to correct/adapt CVs.

Accommodation

Host family
Host families, which have been carefully selected by our partner school, generally live around 30 minutes away from the schol and offer a natural and stimulating environment for practising the language. Students stay in a single room and have half board provided, which is an interesting option considering that it allows you to account for meals for the whole of your stay.

Student house (from 18 years)
This option allows several students from the school to share acccommodation during their stay. Each student has his/her own room and shares the common rooms and equipment (kitchen, bathroom, etc.) with the other students. This option is available for stays of 4 weeks or longer.

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!
