Since then, each student of Carfax College has received individual attention, support and encouragement both from the academic side and in the field of personal well-being. The main distinguishing feature of the institution is the emphasis on individual education in programs adapted to each of the students. Students can prepare for GCSE, A-Level , university admissions or english language courses – all this is available both on campus and in an online format.

Carfax College staff are attentive to the success of their pupils, so additional lessons and tutoring will be offered for each student, if necessary.

Most students are accommodated in host families' homes.
