I have been very impressed by the College's careful and personalised approach to supporting students’ academic goals and future pathways. The high academic standards, strong pastoral care, and clear communication give me great confidence in recommending the College to friends and family.
Annual Parent Survey 2025
Parent comments

At Oxford International College, our parents are an essential part of the story we are building — and we are proud to share the results of our latest Parent Survey.

The feedback reflects what matters most at OIC: a community where students feel happy, safe, and inspired to achieve at the highest level — supported by world-class teaching, exceptional care, and a truly global outlook.

We are deeply grateful for the overwhelmingly positive messages, and for the thoughtful insights that help us continue evolving and redefining excellence.

Highlights from the Survey

We are proud to report that:

  • 97% of parents agree that students feel happy and safe at OIC — a powerful reflection of the wellbeing, ambition and care that define our community.
  • Over 92% of parents agree that OIC encourages high academic achievement, supports strong progress, and keeps families well informed, led by an outstanding Principal.
  • Over 85% of parents recognise the quality of our teachers and learning environment, with strong access to information and support.

These results reflect what we aim for every day: Excellence, evolved — in academics, care, and future-focused opportunity.

You Said. We Did.

One of the most meaningful parts of the survey is the way it shapes what comes next.

Your feedback continues to guide our priorities — and we are proud to share just a few examples of how parent voice is already driving progress across the College:

Expanding Social Purpose Opportunities

Parents asked for more opportunities for students to give back — and we are expanding outreach through initiatives such as the Sounds of Hope orchestra, volunteering partnerships, and community events.

Strengthening Student Leadership

Our Student Council is now leading charity and outreach initiatives, supported by OIC’s new Charities Lead, Ms Jenny Bourlakis.

Raising the Bar in Facilities and Innovation

From the full renovation of laboratories to the opening of our Innovation Lab in collaboration with MIT, we are continuing to invest in university-level environments that prepare pioneers for the future.

More Academic Enrichment

Due to strong demand, OIC Fusion projects have expanded from 7 to 13 — offering students even more depth, challenge and opportunity beyond the curriculum.

Building a Stronger Parent Community

We have launched FACT (Families and College Team) with parent volunteers, alongside half-termly meetings and new community channels coming soon.

Words We’re Proud to Hear

We were especially moved by the warmth and encouragement shared by families across our international community.

“OIC feels like a truly exceptional environment — both academically and personally.”

“The support and communication have been outstanding. We feel proud to be part of this College.”

Messages like these mean a great deal — and we are equally thankful for the constructive feedback that helps us continue developing, innovating, and delivering the very best for every student.

Thank You for Shaping What Comes Next

At OIC, excellence is never one-size-fits-all. We define futures through personalised pathways, world-class teaching, and a global perspective — and we do so in partnership with our families.

Thank you to every parent who took the time to share their voice. Together, we are building a community of pioneers — ambitious, compassionate, and future-ready.
