The Oxford English Centre was established in 1979. We are an independent school and not part of a chain. We offer high quality courses in magnificent premises, close to the centre of Oxford, an historic and world famous centre for learning where students have been coming to study for over 800 years. The Oxford English Centre is accredited by the British Council and is a member of English UK and IALC - your guarantees of quality.

Last year we welcomed students from over 70 nationalities who benefited from our excellent facilities, imaginative social programme and our enthusiastic and experienced teaching staff. Above all, the Oxford English Centre is a friendly and caring school where students receive a lot of personal attention and where learning is enjoyable.
