Oxford International Halifax

We understand that a student’s language school experience lasts a lifetime and that choosing where to study is a major decision. When students graduate from one of our seven Oxford International schools, they are ready to use the English they have learned in their place of work or study. Classes are available in person, online, or as a blended learning combination of the two. Our teachers are trained in methodology which builds upon the Common European Framework for Languages and have also received training in the successful delivery of online classes.

Students establish or build on a firm foundation across all skills, using critical thinking and a combination of modern technology and tried-and-tested pedagogical practices to improve their learning experience. It is extremely important to us that students not only learn new language structures but also use them actively in their everyday life.

Oxford International prides itself on offering programs with challenging curricula and clearly defined outcomes. We provide a University College Pathway program (UCP) to twenty of Atlantic Canada’s universities and colleges. Successful graduates of this program do not require an external exam score, such as IELTS. In addition, we provide General English (EC), English for Parents (EP), IELTS Preparation (IP), and a Business English for the Workplace (BEW) program. Oxford International is a leader in developing customized ESL programs for groups, including a very popular summer program for teens. Oxford International’s career college, Oxford International College Halifax, offers a teacher training program and a Continuing Care Assistant (CCA) program). Oxford International Halifax is a multiple-year winner of the Consumer Choice Award for Best Language School in Halifax and is a subsidiary of OIEG Oxford International Education Group.
