Oxford International London, Greenwich (Summer UK Homestay) is a language centre offering English language programmes for students of all language levels, from beginner to advanced.

The education takes place on the campus of the year-round school during the summer months. Classes are conducted by experienced teachers who are native speakers and holders of the highest qualifications in the field of education. The programs are rich not only in their academic module, but also in a wide range of extracurricular activities and many other services.

Pupils of the school are placed in host families for the duration of their studies. Families selected in accordance with the British Council Guidelines are regularly inspected and are constantly in touch with the staff of the institution, parents of adopted children. Most often, students settle in double or triple rooms, living next door to the same students of schools and universities. Residents can use the kitchen, bathroom and toilet rooms together with the owners, use free WiFi both on site and at school. Toiletries and towels must be brought with them – they are not available in families. If the student stays with the host family for longer than a week, he can take things to the laundry, which is organized on the weekend.

An important condition for living in a family is compliance with the curfew:

• Students of the younger group up to 14 years old, students in an individual format up to 16 years old must be at home every evening without leaving the territory,
• Junior students from 14 to 15 years old must be home by 8 pm, and from 16 to 17 years old by 11 pm,
• Individual students 16 years old must be home by 9 p.m., unless otherwise allowed by their parents.

Host homes are on average 45 minutes away from the school buildings by public transport.

Breakfast and dinner take place in families, who also provide their pupil with packed lunches for lunch at school. The new occupant's first meal will be dinner upon arrival, and the last will be a packed lunch upon departure.

The curriculum includes field trips that allow students to explore the sights of London and Cambridge, the natural beauty of the area around them, local culture, cuisine and much more.
