Kings Oxford St Michaels

Kings teaches English in central Oxford from its St Michaels building, with additional teaching space on Alfred Street. The annexe is a short walk from the main centre. Knowing about both buildings is useful when choosing accommodation or working out how to reach the first lesson. The St Michaels site has a student lounge as well as classrooms, giving learners a place to meet between sessions.

English courses in central Oxford

The Oxford course list includes General English and Intensive English, alongside diploma programmes in both areas. A learner choosing between them can compare how much of the week is given over to class and how much time is available for other commitments. Cambridge English and IELTS preparation provide a more defined objective for students who expect to take a language examination. Kings also lists gap-year and university preparation routes in Oxford.

Living and using English in the city

The school organises activities and gives examples that include a running club and film sessions. For a newcomer these create occasions to use conversational English with others who share an interest. Accommodation options described by the school include homestays and individual studios at Alice House. Students can compare the independence of a studio with the opportunities for everyday conversation that come with living in a local household.
