Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying English in Oxford. These homes are often between 10 - 30 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing
Student residences are more suitable for an independent student, who is looking for clean, basic accommodation at an economic price. All students must be 12 - 17. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about student residence accommodation
CES Oxford is located in the small rural village of Wheatley just 9km from the centre of Oxford.
The school is located in the heart of Wheatley and is near all the local shops and services and the village provides a friendly, healthy and safe environment in which to live and study; near Oxford, but away from all the pollution and tourist masses.

We cannot guarantee the ages of classes as it depends on the students enrolled at the time, and of course on her level on arrival. There won’t be any students under the age of 16, and most students across the summer are between 18 and 25.
I am investigating the home stay option without accommodation offer . However, please advise the student that Headington is approximately 20 minutes from the school, so if she needs to drop her son off at his camp at 9.30 am, she will struggle to make it to class before 10.00.
