Language course English in Oxford

Embassy English Juniors

During summer months, our Oxford partner school, Embassy English, organizes youth courses for students aged 12 – 17 years.  Summer courses are based on the main campus of Oxford Brookes University, in the attractive Oxford suburb of Headington.   Classes, meals and sports are conveniently all available on one site. The area of Headington caters especially well to students with shops and cafes on your doorstep. The historic city centre of Oxford, home to England’s oldest university, is just a short bus ride away, waiting for you to discover. It's a great way of combining your English studies with sight-seeing and a lot of fun!
