OISE’s excellence is founded on a unique educational philosophy built around a very low student-to-teacher ratio. This approach enables highly personalised teaching, tailored to the needs of each participant. The goal is to integrate knowledge, encourage practical skills, and foster personal development in the target language. Whether studying English, German or Spanish, students benefit from intensive and individualised language courses that enable rapid progress.
OISE offers a selection of prestigious destinations across the globe, carefully chosen for their learning environment and cultural richness: the UK, Scotland, Germany, Spain, the United States and Canada. Cities like Oxford, Cambridge, London, Edinburgh, Heidelberg, Segovia, Boston and Montreal are ideal places to enjoy a unique experience combining language learning and cultural immersion.
OISE provides a variety of accommodation options to enhance the immersion experience. Students may choose to stay with a host family, in a residence, a studio, a hotel, or even with a teacher for even deeper immersion. These diverse options allow students to live the local culture fully and practise the language daily, outside of class.
Beyond classroom learning, OISE offers a rich programme of cultural activities, allowing participants to practise the language in authentic, real-life contexts. These may include cultural visits, excursions and, for some programmes, even internships. Whether it’s a short language trip or a longer stay, these experiences help reinforce language skills and deepen cultural understanding.
The pricing of OISE programmes reflects the premium quality of its high-intensity language courses. While the investment may vary, it should be seen as an investment in one’s linguistic and professional future. OISE also offers tailored programmes for professionals, eligible for the Compte Personnel de Formation (CPF), providing flexible funding options.
Language stays are available during school holidays, with formats specifically designed for that period.
OISE prepares students for a wide range of internationally recognised language exams, including IELTS, Cambridge exams, the GMAT and TOEIC. These assessments not only track progress but also lead to valuable certifications that enhance academic and professional development.
Choosing OISE certified by UNOSEL for your language stay means opting for a recognised language school and a peerless learning experience. Whether in 2024 or beyond, OISE is a trusted partner for language learning and cultural discovery abroad.
Choosing a language stay abroad with OISE offers a unique opportunity for full immersion in both the language and culture. Unlike studying in one’s home country, an OISE programme enables students to live the language daily in real situations. OISE combines intensive language courses with authentic cultural experiences, allowing for fast progress and a deeper understanding of the local culture. Whether learning English, German or Spanish, OISE provides an environment where language becomes a living tool for communication, not just a subject to study.
OISE believes language learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. That’s why each programme is designed to maximise exposure to the target language throughout the stay:
- Intensive lessons: OISE’s exclusive teaching formats Tutorial™, Quatorial™, and Octorial™ ensure accelerated learning.
- Cultural immersion: Activities and excursions allow students to practise in a variety of real-world contexts.
- Appropriate accommodation: Whether in a host family or a residence, students are constantly surrounded by the language.
- Small group sizes: OISE guarantees personalised attention to address each student’s specific needs.
- Exam preparation: For those who wish, OISE provides training for internationally recognised certifications.
The ideal duration depends on individual goals and current language level. OISE offers flexible programmes ranging from one week to several months:
- Short stays (1–4 weeks): Ideal for rapid, intensive immersion—great for refreshing skills or targeting specific goals.
- Medium stays (4–12 weeks): Recommended for noticeable progress across all areas of language learning.
- Long stays (12+ weeks): Best for in-depth language mastery and cultural transformation.
No matter the duration, OISE advisors are available to help identify the programme best suited to your objectives and availability.
