Everything You Need to Know About OISE Language Programs

We’re answering your most frequently asked questions

OISE’s excellence is rooted in a distinctive educational philosophy based on a very low student-to-teacher ratio. This approach enables tailored instruction to meet each learner’s specific needs, aiming to combine knowledge with practical skills and personal development in the target language. Whether studying English, German, or Spanish, students benefit from intensive, personalized lessons that allow them to make rapid progress.

 

OISE offers carefully selected, prestigious destinations around the world: the United Kingdom, Scotland, Germany, Spain, the United States, and Canada. Each destination provides a unique setting to learn a language while immersing oneself in the local culture. Iconic cities such as Oxford, Cambridge, London, Edinburgh, Heidelberg, Segovia, Boston, and Montreal are ideal for living an enriching linguistic and cultural experience.

 

OISE offers a range of accommodation options to enhance the immersion experience. Students can choose to stay with a host family, in a residence, studio, hotel, or even at a teacher’s home for a more intense experience. These options allow learners to fully engage with the local culture and practice the language daily outside of class time.

Beyond classroom learning, OISE provides a rich cultural activity program that allows students to use the language in real-world contexts. These activities may include cultural tours, excursions, and even internships for certain programs. Whether during a short or extended stay, these experiences help students strengthen their language skills and gain a deeper understanding of the local culture.

OISE program fees reflect the premium quality of its high-intensity language courses. While costs may vary, they are best viewed as an investment in one’s linguistic and professional future. OISE also offers tailored programs for professionals, which may be eligible for financing through the French Compte Personnel de Formation (CPF), making flexible funding options available.
OISE also runs programs during school holidays, with formats adapted to the season.

OISE prepares students for a range of internationally recognized exams, including IELTS, Cambridge exams, the GMAT, and TOEIC. These assessments not only track student progress but also provide valuable certifications to enhance academic and professional pathways.

Choosing OISE, certified by UNOSEL, means selecting a trusted language school with a reputation for excellence. Whether you're planning for 2024 or beyond, OISE is a reliable partner for language learning and cultural enrichment abroad.

 

Opting for a language stay abroad with OISE offers a unique opportunity for full immersion in the target language and culture.

OISE’s programs combine intensive lessons with authentic cultural experiences, helping students progress quickly while gaining a deeper cultural understanding. Whether learning English, German, or Spanish, OISE provides an environment where the language becomes a living communication tool not just a subject.
