Oxford International Sparsholt College — summer school in the UK
Summer School Oxford International Sparsholt College
Oxford International Language School is located in Winchester, the former capital of England. The city has a famous historical past, narrow European streets and an old English atmosphere. The programme is based at Sparsholt College. It's one of the best in the industrial environment. Even more memorable in the centre is the out-of-town location amidst the beauty of the countryside. London is an hour away by train.
The school has a sports centre with courts for basketball, volleyball, tennis and football. The gymnasium is used by team leaders for a fee. In their spare time they may participate in drama, dance, or engage in additional language training in a conversation club. The school has a small percentage of Russian-speaking students. This means the children have more opportunities to speak English more often than to switch to Russian. During the week the pupils will go on shopping trips and excursions to central London, Oxford College and Portsmouth. In the evening there will be no shortage of fun with games and quizzes, an open-air cinema, a talent show and musical battles.
