About St. Clare's, Oxford
St. Clare's, Oxford is an independent, non profit-making educational charity.
Our mission is to advance international education and understanding. We
offer a range of short course programmes, the majority of which take place
during June, July and August. In addition to this we have a number of
closed groups during the academic year as well as a range of long and
short EFL courses primarily for adults. Our aim is to provide all our
students with a high quality course where they not only increase their
language ability but also have a memorable experience within an international
context.
St. Clare's courses are for mixed nationality students and range from
10-16 years on our young junior/junior courses at Rye St. Antony school,
to young adults (16+) on our Banbury Road Campus and more mature adult
students (18+), including non-native teachers of English, at our Bardwell
Road Centre. We provide a full, varied and stimulating tuition and activity
programme, which is suitable for each individual age group.
