What we like about the school
  • Excellent nationality mix. No student nationality makes up more than 10% of students.
  • One of the oldest English schools in Oxford founded in 1955

Venue: St Giles International Oxford Junior Centre is located on the Oxford Brookes University Headington campus on the outskirts of historic Oxford. World famous for its universities, Oxford is known as the City of Dreaming Spires, a title coined by the poet Matthew Arnold in honour of Gothic steeples and towers which people its skyline. Oxford is a truly unique city in which to learn English, a place that breeds knowledge and inspiration.

Facilities: The university campus is a large green park with modern installations. Classrooms are up-to-date and fully equipped and the sports facilities on campus are used by students in their on site activities.

Accommodation: Students on the residential programmes at St Giles International Oxford Junior Centre stay in an apartment style university residence, just off campus. The residence belongs to Oxford Brookes University and is an easy walk to the main campus, just under 10 minutes away, along wide, tree-lined streets. Students are housed in single rooms with shared bathroom facilities, and have their meals in the on-site cafeteria.

Social and Cultural: The programmes at St Giles International Oxford Junior Centre include a wide range of activities on campus and excursions, both within Oxford, which is only a 20 minute walk from the University, and to neighbouring towns or cities. Excursions can include a visit to Oxford University, going punting on the River Cherwell, visiting Bournemouth beach or a day trip to London.

School chain: St Giles Schools Languages Ltd has numerous schools worldwide, offering junior, adult and senior students quality English tuition and student care for over 65 years. Originally from Soho, London, St Giles now has schools in England, Canada and the US. St Giles schools are fully regulated and accredited by the British Council in the UK and Language Canada in Canada. They are also members of EnglishUK.
