ADDITIONAL FEES AT OIC

Alongside our tuition and boarding fees, we charge additional fees for certain activities and programmes (many of these are optional).

Most activities are priced according to the number of students taking part and the costs quoted by external providers. Therefore, we can’t always determine the exact charge for each activity until students have expressed an interest and/or confirmed their place.

You can find a full list of OIC's additional fees below.

Additional Fees

  • Biology field trip (Year 12)

    The Year 12 Biology residential field trip is necessary to complete the compulsory practical endorsement elements and four ecology-based practicals assessed in Year 13 Biology. It provides an opportunity to conduct practical work in a natural environment, supporting the curriculum and enhancing understanding of key ecological concepts. The trip also helps students develop practical skills and prepare for Year 13 assessments.

    Approximate cost: £550 (compulsory for Year 13 Biology students).

  • CERN trip
    A four-day trip, February during half term, to visit the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the United Nations and some museums in Geneva.

    Cost: £1,700 (optional).
  • Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies

    A one-off fee charged with the first invoice from the College.

    Cost: £25 (if applicable).

  • Day residence fee

    An annual charge for students who do not reside at the College’s provided accommodation. Covers access to gym facilities provided by OIC and full access to the school canteen, alongside boarding students. Cooked meals are provided three times a day, Monday to Sunday, with snacks and drinks available for take-out throughout the day. Students are expected to attend school on some Saturdays when compulsory testing is scheduled and occasional Sundays for extra-curricular activities.

    Cost: £5,200 (compulsory for day students).

  • The Duke of Edinburgh's Award

    The Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme is a well-known programme which leads to three levels of award: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Students are expected to show commitment in three areas (sport, charity and art), and complete an expedition that challenges their fitness, teamwork, navigation skills and endurance.

    Cost: £850 (optional).

  • Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)

    An Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is taken by students in England and Wales, and is the equivalent to half an A-Level. The students are free to choose a topic, although they must show that it's academically useful and either related to their current course of study or to their future career.

    The EPQ is a single-component linear qualification. Students undertake their EPQ in the context of a project topic they have selected, in agreement with the College.

    Cost: £1,500 (optional).

  • Geography field trip (GCSE)

    The GCSE Geography field trip provides students with practical fieldwork experience in studying river systems.

    Led by a Field Studies Centre expert, the trip focuses on investigating river characteristics, such as width, depth, velocity, and discharge, as well as examining flooding and human impacts. The trip offers a unique opportunity to observe river processes and collect data in a real-world environment, essential for meeting GCSE geography fieldwork requirements.

    Cost: £550 (compulsory for Year 11 Geography students).

  • Goodwill Ambassador Programme

    An international programme that takes place during the summer break, exposing students to future careers as they shadow doctors, lawyers, scientists and other professionals. In previous years, destination choices included Malaysia and Botswana. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with benefits, experiences and outcomes far beyond the direct career-related experience. Students will be able to refer to this in their university applications.

    Cost: £2,500-4,000 (optional).

  • HeadStart pre-sessional course

    Pre-sessional course for students. 

    Cost: £3,200 (compulsory if included in the offer; otherwise optional).

  • LAMDA qualification

    A public course run by a qualified provider with extensive expertise. Exams lead to an award/certification that counts towards university applications. In addition, the transferable skills developed by students will enhance other areas of their academic life, progress and future career. Follow the link to the website for more information: Lamda.

    Cost: £800 (optional).

  • Native language courses

    An annual charge for students who elect to take up Chinese or Russian at A-Level. The yearly fee is payable in full if the student intends to sit the exam. This class is elective and an excellent grade in the subject can boost university applications. Therefore, although the language selected is native to the student, taking the class is compulsory to ensure that they're well prepared to attain the highest score possible.

    Students will receive two hours per week of group lessons to prepare for the A-Level course. Lessons are delivered by specially hired tutors at OIC. Some students take native language lessons (Chinese or Russian) with the view to boosting their UCAS application, as universities may accept these qualifications as valid A-Level subjects. This can be an advantage when meeting the conditions of an offer.

    We understand that since this is the student’s native language, the perception may be that students do not require as much assistance in this subject. However, as they will be taking exams at our college, we need to ensure that we monitor and provide the necessary support (even if this is minimal). From experience, students who have sat ANY exam, including native languages, without preparation often do not do well. This can have a negative impact on their university applications.

    Cost: £1,950 (optional).

  • One-to-one tuition

    OIC offers one-to-one lessons (in music, for example) outside of any group programme. The hourly rate also applies when a student's chosen subject is not offered by the college and therefore a special teaching arrangement has to be made. Students can also opt to have extra one-to-one support if they wish.

    Cost: £90 per hour (optional).

  • Perlego library service

    Perlego provides unlimited digital access to more than 500,000 titles spanning every subject imaginable. By giving students the opportunity to freely explore their interests, we can add enormous value to their learning experiences. The service also ensures that, when students are interviewed by one of the world’s top universities, they have wider reading to refer to and can demonstrate awareness and critical thinking beyond their subjects.

    Cost: £96 (per year).

  • Summer University Preparation Programme

    A two-week programme at the end of summer break prior to starting the second year of A-Levels at OIC. Students are given intense and highly tailored assistance with their UCAS applications, both from external and internal advisors. This is an important programme at the beginning of the student's pathway to higher education.

    Cost: £3,400 (optional but highly recommended).
