Our community is one in which individuals are recognised, respected and supported. We are ambitious, have high expectations and a very strong work ethic.
We want our students to be prepared for life in the 21st century. We work together in an atmosphere of positivity to ensure each student achieves their full potential.
John Gale
Principal, Kings Oxford
Kings has been at the forefront of educational excellence and success since 1957.
Today, we teach thousands of students each year across our 10 worldwide campus locations.
"Students are friendly and welcoming, yet highly focused on their academic studies. Their behaviour is exemplary. Their attitudes to school and interactions with their peers, both on and off site, are equally positive. They know they come here to learn and expectations of what they can achieve are high."
"There is a strong community feel here, no matter which pathway you follow…and [students] take full advantage of what the school has to offer, including beyond the classroom."

"Kings students stand out by virtue of their generally above-average degree results and their willingness and ability to immerse themselves in the life of our student community...I can assuredly put these successes down in large part to the sound preparation for university life that Kings students receive."
Loughborough University
"The environment here has been amazing, and the relationships my son has made.
I think Kings has been a great bridge for university because he has come of the school environment into a college and made a great bunch of international friends."
