Course description

At Oxford English Camps, we offer an integrated English programme that goes beyond traditional language learning, focusing on providing foreign learners with a deep and comprehensive understanding of both the English language and the rich culture of the UK. Our carefully designed curriculum is specifically tailored to immerse students in the UK educational system, giving them an authentic experience of British life and customs.

Our programme not only focuses on enhancing language skills, but also helps students become familiar with the cultural nuances, traditions, and everyday interactions that shape life in the UK. This holistic approach ensures that students don’t just learn English in the classroom—they live it. By engaging in both academic lessons and real-world experiences, students develop the confidence to use English in any context, whether it’s in school, at social events, or while exploring the UK.

The heart of our programme lies in the hands of our activity leaders, who are not only highly qualified but also creative, energetic, and passionate about teaching. They design and lead a diverse range of activities that are both fun and purposeful, aimed at reinforcing the language skills students are learning in class. From cultural excursions to team-building challenges, arts and crafts, to outdoor sports, every activity is thoughtfully planned to encourage interaction, build confidence, and provide a practical, hands-on way to use English.

Oxford English Camps offers more than just language lessons—it’s a vibrant, immersive experience where students can form lasting friendships, explore British culture, and gain real-life language skills in a supportive, nurturing environment. Whether they’re chatting with peers from around the world, visiting historical landmarks, or participating in a variety of creative workshops, our programme ensures that students not only improve their English but also have an unforgettable experience in the heart of the UK.
