Oxford House College opened in 1973. The College overlooks the River Avon; it is 400 metres from the town centre and near the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. The College building is very attractive and set in large, tree-lined gardens, including a riverside garden. Students from many countries study at our College, so there is a truly international atmosphere. The atmosphere is informal and friendly, providing an excellent environment for study.

We are a small, professional College and we aim to meet the individual requirements of all our students. All our teachers are qualified to teach English, and experienced in teaching students of different nationalities. We select them for their professional ability and personal qualities.

We use the most recent, up-to-date teaching materials and our teachng methods are dynamic and efficient, based on a communicative approach.

You will come to our College knowing that important aspects of your stay — teaching, accommodation, social activities and student services — meet the high standards required for British Council accreditation.
