Questions and answers about Oxford
- I'd like to enquire about a 2-week English course in Oxford for my sister (15 year old), ideally starting late April. If possible, this would include accommodation as well.“Our partner schools can offer junior group courses during summer, usually from June or July. The minimum required age for the adult courses is 16-18 years. If students would like to start before summer they can consider booking private lessons in the teacher's home, which includes lessons, full board accommodation and they may add activities as well. ”Angela Ligartova , Consultant from Languagecourse.net - Mar 08, 2022
