School description

We offer A-level, GCSE / IGCSE, University Foundation Programmes and bespoke courses to meet students' specific needs.

Our approach differs to the style normally offered at this academic level, in that we follow the tutorial system for which the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge are famous; the majority of teaching takes place by individual tuition (one-to-one). This allows our tutors to direct every lesson according to the individual needs of each student.

We are committed to providing the highest standards of education and our students have access to Oxford's finest tutors to help them achieve their highest potential and to develop the self-confidence they need for successful learning.

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from OCIS. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you.
