In Dawlish, OISE offers its students the opportunity to acquire a natural command of English. It is by enjoying the charm of the British seaside resort that students aged 15 to 17 from all over the world come together. The town is known for its fishing and some of the best beaches in the UK. Characteristic country houses, impressive villas, narrow streets, numerous shops, the famous black swans, beautiful teahouses and the singing of the seagulls, make Dawlish a charming destination.

The classes are limited to 8 students per class are the guarantee of an intense linguistic stay. The school only accepts around 30 students to form a small and intimate community of motivated students who immerse themselves in English in an area close to their hearts.

Devon is home to some of the UK's finest beaches and traditional seaside resorts, of which Dawlish, on the south coast of the county, is no exception. Situated 300km south west of London, this small but lively town has played host to many happy holiday makers over the years.

Dawlish is located in Teignbridge on the south coast of Devon, close to Exeter. The city grew during the 18th century from a small fishing port to a prestigious beach resort, its transformation being closely linked to the introduction of rail service, which contributed to an increase in the number of visitors. The train station is located in the centre of the city, next to the beach.

Dawlish is known for its beach and lush parks where visitors can enjoy the characteristic black swans. This small Victorian coastal town has attracted authors such as Charles Dickens and Jane Austen.
