Expert English-language teaching with many different courses

English Language, University Pathways, GAP Year courses & Teacher Training

St Clare’s has been welcoming students and adult learners to Summertown for 70 years. Indeed, for many local residents in this vibrant international community, St Clare’s brings back fond memories: it was their first contact with the UK. The original mission, 'to advance international education and understanding', remains at the heart of St Clare’s today.

There are now three schools: the Sixth Form College for the IB diploma, the International College for English Language, University Pathways and GAP Year courses and the Spring and Summer School for English as a Foreign Language and academic courses, for students as young as nine year old – all of which are based in and around Summertown. In addition, St Clare’s offers a variety of Teacher Training courses, such as the IB Teacher Workshops, which we have been delivering in cooperation with the IBO since 2002, and the CELTA and DELTA qualifications for EFL teachers.

How can we best help local Summertown residents?
