More about this camp

The Oxford ILS Junior Summer School is run by Oxford International Language School in the centre of Oxford, for teenagers aged 13 to 17. Programme and activities. Students take 15 taught hours of English per week, with the Full Programme adding activities and homestay accommodation. The central-Oxford location puts the university city on the doorstep for the activity and excursion side. Accommodation and meals. On the Full Programme, students stay with local, carefully selected host families. Homestay adds everyday English practice and family life but means daily travel to the school and evenings with the family rather than under school supervision. Families should confirm meal arrangements and typical travel times. Ages, dates and duration. The school accepts teenagers aged 13 to 17 — an older band, consistent with the independence a central-city course with homestay requires. Twelve arrival dates are listed from early July, a wide calendar. Location and travel. The school is in central Oxford. Oxford is around an hour from London and Heathrow by coach. Transfer arrangements are not published. Who the programme may suit. This school may suit teenagers who want a central-Oxford English course with genuine British homestay immersion, and who are comfortable with daily travel to the school. It may suit less well younger children — the minimum is 13 — or families wanting on-site residential supervision, which several other Oxford-area options in this catalogue provide.
