College of International Education, Oxford.

We applied to CIE by recommendation of English teacher who already visited this college with the group of young students. This summer a small group of our students of different age (from 9 to 29) spent 3 weeks in Oxford studying in CIE. We started preparing a study tour programme 5 months before arrival. We wanted to make this trip as rich with various activities as possible, so the group had many interesting excursions in and out of Oxford. At first we had many worries and questions about living, host families, and asked endless questions regarding accommodation, excursions, arrival and etc. But everything was organized excellent and even better then we could expect, everything – host families, accommodation, meals, the college and its friendful teachers, excursions and various activities. And of course convenient location at the centre of the city is also one of the merits. Should we have a possibility to come to the Great Britain again for studying, our company would apply to CIE again without any doubts, because I know that I can entirely entrust children to CIE and be sure that everything will be well-organised. And I would definitely recommend CIE for their friendly attitude, prompt replies and their willingness to help.

My 16-year old daughter is still nostalgic about the time spent at CIE in Oxford last summer. She enjoyed literally every minute of it - the school staff, friendly and helpful, the interesting and involving classes in an international environment, the week-end trips to Stratford-on-Avon, Warwick Castle, Winchester and Stonehenge. As a mother, I appreciated the personal approach we were given: we received exhaustive information about the course, all my enquiries were promptly answered. I felt I was entrusting my daughter to people who cared and were responsible. She came back with a nice British accent, photos of her teachers and classmates and a dream to go back one day.
