Students over sixteen are eligible to join a local Health and Sports Centre, at no additional cost. The Centre has an indoor pool, well-equipped gym, and squash courts
Oxford is well known as the home of discussion and debate. Many of our leading politicians began their careers at the Oxford University Union and Debating Society. OISC students are able to become associate members of this Society if they are over 16 and staying for one academic year or more.
This year we are including in Oxford the opportunity to act scenes from a play in conjunction with a professional schools theatre group. This is great fun, and also very good practice for those who are learning English.
We are also providing a Companions Programme. This enables international school and university students to meet with students of similar age from British schools and Universities. This is an excellent introduction to living and studying in Oxford and also the basis of future friendships. The students will join the British students for shopping, cinema visits, going for ice-cream etc, good fun for everyone!
Weekend excursions include London, Warwick, Stratford, Bath and Cambridge, as well as tours to the beautiful Cotswold countryside.
