Oxford English Centre

Oxford English Centre (Oxford in England)
The Oxford English Center has been a year round English school since 1979.
Above all, the Oxford English Center is a friendly and caring school where students receive a lot of personal attention, and enjoy learning.

In the “city of dreaming spires”, academia takes centre stage. Gaze out at Oxford’s world-famous colleges from the top of St Mary’s Church tower before heading into the city’s pedestrian-friendly streets. The University’s Botanic Garden and Ashmolean Museum are Britain’s oldest. Follow your nose to the Covered Market for the makings of a picnic to enjoy on a punt or in the University Parks. Mix the historic and modern with visits to the 12th-century village church of Iffley and trendy Cowley’s ethnic shops and music venues.
