What we like about the school
  • Apartment - shared / Residence accommodation very close to school
  • One of the oldest English schools in Oxford founded in 1957
  • Electronic whiteboards in all classrooms.
  • #2 TOP rated in Oxford by students 30-49 years
What we dislike about the school
  • Lessons are 45 minutes long, which is shorter than in other schools.

Location: Kings is right in the heart of the city of Oxford, opposite St Peter’s College. The centre of the city is filled with restaurants, bars, cafes and shops. There is a cinema at the end of one side of the road and a shopping centre at the other.

Enjoying Oxford: All the main features of the city are found in the inner circle of the city. Due to its location, this means that most things are very accessible by foot from the Kings. For trips outside the city, Oxford’s main train station is 10 minutes by foot from the school. From here, students can visit the surrounding cities as well as reach the capital city in under an hour.

Course: There are compact and intensive courses that cover the basics of the English language. Cambridge and IELTS exams are covered in exam preparation courses, which are designed to help students pass these well known English exams. For those wanting to further their education in the English language and need to gain certification to enter a University, Kings has a foundation course, diploma package and an academic programme, all to prepare students for this transition into student life.

Holiday programmes: In the summer holiday months, the school has created junior packages for younger learners.

School facilities: The facilities at Kings in Oxford include a student lounge, hotspot computer access, a computer centre with Apple Ipads and wifi throughout.

Social activities: Kings provides its students with the opportunity to join a well prepared social calendar with an array of activities. Examples of the type of options provided by the school include sporting activities, movie nights, cultural experiences, music nights and many more.

School chain: Kings is a number of well established English language schools in the UK and USA. They understand that learning English is a journey, and there are different needs for the language as this progresses. As a result of this, each school provides a range of courses to cater for these requirements ranging from exam courses, academic programmes, diplomas and courses for specific fields of study such as business.

Kings has partnered with academic establishments worldwide to help students to transition into furthering their education at a university in either the UK or the USA.

“There is a good, safe atmosphere which is reflected in the communication of the students among themselves and how the staff communicates with the students.”
“The limitation of offering lessons in the desired (tested) level.”
Insider tip: “Earlier, I mentioned four institutions. But the Old Firestation theatre also has interesting programming.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: I wouldn't use the word 'intensive' for the course.
Other comments: For parents: it provides a safe place for their children.

Insider tip: “The teachers don't give value to this course. My son said she treated them like kindergarten kids and not like teenagers in the advanced group.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: The quality of tutors was uneven: the male professor was described as "outstanding" while the female teacher was described as a "mistake". The excursion to London was a total failure in terms of organization.

“Incredibly competent teachers and amazing atmosphere. Other than learning the English language, we also focused on exploring the different cultures represented in the class.”
Insider tip: “Every person I talked to just desperately wanted to go home the minute they arrived. The best strategy is to try and meet as many new people as possible; everyone is scared and alone. The likelihood of them rejecting you is very very small. Good friend is the key to an unforgettable stay abroad.”

“Very good teaching level.”
Other comments: It´s a pity that a student does not get any lessons the first day of arrival, just a test. It would be great to have the possibility to join a group even knowing one´s level only approximately, to avoid wasting time.

“Nothing at all”
Other comments: The management's behavior is more than mediocre and despicable. It is clear that they care more about profitability, and money than the quality of education. They count the numbers of hours of classes to set the level of the students. It seems more of a company than a school. There are no adult classes, all ages are mixed, it filled the classroom to reach the maximum level of students rather than the exact level of each. One of the teachers has left us and let us know that it was because of the number of students that went downhill. Personally, I've left the course one week earlier because the teaching was so boring. Lot's of students in my class want to leave the school, but as they have already paid in advance, they are stuck !!!!! I feel like I have wasted my time for nothing !!!!!!! I regret enormously. We can not make progress with such education. Students realize that teachers are wrong often enough!

Questions and answers about Kings - St. Michaels

Could your school provide an offer letter that includes the CAS number and sponsor license information to support my visa application for a 4-week short-term student visa?
“Unfortunately, there's no CAS for English courses. CAS and a student visa are only available for academic students, studying for at least a year.

We can issue a visa letter for a short-term visa, but that’s all we can do. CAS is only for academic courses.”
Amanda, Admission Team from Kings, St Michaels London - Aug 15, 2025
We would like to register our two children for the junior courses. Are there also double rooms in the residence where they can be accommodated together?
“We only have single rooms at Wavy Gate. So they can’t share. They will be placed in two different flats as we split them into male and female.”
Kerstin Doerfler, Operations Project Manager from Kings - Jun 13, 2023
Is one lesson always 60 minutes?
“No, at Kings, one lesson is 45 minutes. All schools have their own take on this. One lesson is usually between 45-60 minutes. Check this carefully per school. ”

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
