HISTORY AND HERITAGE
Oxford International College (OIC) was established in 2002 by academics who wanted to pioneer a university model of tuition. This commitment to academic excellence, brought to life by specialist teachers, remains the same today. We now combine this focus with personal development and career preparation through our Supercurricular department. Together, these three pillars prepare our 15 to 19-year-olds for success at university and beyond.
In 2019, we proudly topped the UK Independent Schools A-level results league table. Ever since, our hard-working students have collectively achieved over 90% A* or A grades in their exams.
This success takes our students to the world’s top universities. In the last two years, one in three OIC applicants were accepted to study medicine at Cambridge. What’s more, over the past four years, more than half of our graduates have gone on to study at one of the UK’s G5 universities.
The college joined the Nord Anglia Education family of premium international independent schools in 2021. This gives our staff and students access to a wealth of resources, opportunities, and connections across the globe.
