''I founded Oxford Intensive School of English on a strong conviction that total mastery of a second language requires learning determination guided by tutors who are pedagogically demanding of each and every course participant while providing individual support to use the language with confidence and serenity and aim for eloquence in speech and elegance in the written form. Being ambitious for the achievements of each individual student soon became an essential core value of OISE Oxford and I feel very proud that it is still kept very strong today.''

Values

Allow learners to assert themselves and achieve beyond their expectations.

Ambition

High achievers

Our Masterclasses are aimed at people with high ambitions and clearly defined goals. Whether they are young learners or professionals, their common points are the desire to improve their skills, the search for excellence, as well as their ability to implement all means necessary to achieve it.

Eloquence

Highly targeted

While speaking comprehensible and grammatically correct English is within everyone's reach, to be eloquent, to speak English, to share, to convince and to concretely achieve one's operational objectives is more rare, and therefore likely to make a difference.

Performance

High performance

Whatever the goal, the deadline or the challenge set, the important thing remains and will always be the result. This requires intensive work, both accompanied and individual. Far from "linguistic tourism" OISE courses offer learners the means to achieve their objectives.

Satisfaction

Highly satisfactory

The intensity of learning, the privileged study environment, and the relationships created during the workshops and sessions are cherished memories and contacts for the future.

Accommodation

All the programmes based in the UK offer an accommodation service 

The accommodation reservation service offers:

•  Homestay with a local family: the cost of half-board accommodation is included in the price of the course
• Suggestions for recommended hotels or residences for students who prefer an alternative to homestay accommodation

OISE schools are located in cities of historic and academic importance.  The school is centrally located allowing participants easy access to the cultural riches and the green open spaces of the city.

Cambridge is a city on the River Cam in eastern England, home to the prestigious University of Cambridge, dating to 1209.  University colleges include King's famed for its choir and towering Gothic chapel, as well as Trinity, founded by Henry VIII, and St John's, with its 16th-century Great Gate.  University museums have exhibits on archaeology and anthropology, polar exploration, the history of science and zoology.  Oxford, a city in central southern England, revolves around its prestigious university, established in the 12th century.  The architecture of its 38 colleges in the city's medieval centre led poet Matthew Arnold to call it the 'city of dreaming spires'.  University College and Magdalen College are on the High Street, which runs from Carfax Tower to Magdalen Bridge. Edinburgh is Scotland's compact, hilly capital.  It has a medieval Old Town and the elegant Georgian New Town.  Looking down on the city is Edinburgh Castle, home to Scotland's crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny, used in the coronation of Scottish rulers.  Arthur's Seat is an imposing peak in Holyrood Park with sweeping views. Bournemouth is a coastal resort town in the county of Dorset on the south coast of England.  The population of the town is 180,000, making it the largest town in Dorset.  It is situated equidistant from Dorchester and Southampton.  Dorset is a county rich with areas of natural and historic interest including the beautiful Jurassic Coast.

First steps in English for young learners between ages 7 -12. Small class sizes ensure that each student receives individual attention from their tutors, providing a learning experience which is unique to their needs. This close proximity between students and teachers fosters close relationships and a supportive environment, which builds confidence amongst the young learners and encourages them to succeed.
