A word from Ted McGrath, Head of The International School
We are a small International School community with over 100 students from 28 countries this year. We pride ourselves on the quality of education we provide, not just in terms of our excellent teaching and outstanding exam results, but in the care we take of our students pastorally.
At d’Overbroeck’s we will help you prepare for academic success in the English education system. On one of our IGCSE programmes, and in a small, caring atmosphere, our specialist teachers will help you improve your spoken and written English and teach you a full range of academic subjects.
To parents, guardians and agents, I would like to say that we will send you regular updates regarding your child’s progress. We will get in touch to let you know about all their successes, not just problems. Please feel you can contact me any time to discuss anything or to ask questions.
Like the rest of d’Overbroeck’s we are more relaxed and informal than a traditional school. Students call their teachers by their first names, wear a “light touch” uniform and do not have to attend chapel or take part in traditional team games. However, the academic rigour of our courses and the high standards of pastoral care here are second to none. Additionally, students will benefit from living and studying in our wonderful facilities here in the centre of Oxford. Living in Oxford is an exciting experience and we will help you to get the most out of it, taking part in activities across the whole school with the British students and joining in the wider life of this world-famous university city.
You are welcome to visit any time and I look forward to meeting you and showing you the school.
A diverse international school community in Oxford, UK
Our ethos is what makes us different from other independent schools. We work with each individual student to help them meet their potential. We believe in leading by example, in a flexible approach to learning and in the idea that students learn best when they are happy.
“I really like the way of teaching here as there is more focus on individuals rather than teaching everyone in the same way. I started studying here in Year 10 and my grades have improved a lot since I joined."
Latest IGCSE results
We’re really proud of the results our students achieve when they study with us at The International School. Our results are well above the national average, which is a testament to our wide range of staff expertise and the excellent teaching we deliver.
IGCSE courses
We know it doesn’t always suit everyone to study the traditional 2-year IGCSE course that most of our students study. So we’ve made sure we’re as flexible as possible to meet your needs by offering 4 other study options at IGCSE level. Find out more about our full range of courses below:
- UK Study Abroad
- The Discovery Years
- 4 or 5-term IGCSE
- One-Year IGCSE
- Two-Year IGCSE
International Summer School
d’Overbroeck’s have run a popular summer programme for international students for many years in partnership with Bucksmore Education. The Bucksmore Young Professionals course is a fantastic opportunity for students to experience the new d’Overbroeck’s Sixth Form and boarding facilities. It is also ideal for students wanting to experience life at d’Overbroeck’s and in Oxford before studying at the school full time.

Our Sixth Form boarding students at St Aldates were challenged to explore Oxford last weekend – they were put in groups and given 5 Oxford locations to explore and take a picture at! The five locations were Christchurch, Radcliffe Camera, Sheldonian, Ashmolean and the Westgate. Here are some of ...the photos 😀
