Why choose Oxford International

Students

to ensure they meet their diverse linguistic (whether social, business, or academic) goals

Location

Unlike other major urban centers, more than 90% of the population in Halifax speaks English so it’s the perfect place for students to immerse themselves in the language and learn faster. Everything that a big city like Toronto or Montreal has can be found in Halifax. Restaurants, cafes, nightclubs, sports arenas, art galleries, museums and so on are here. People here enjoy live music in traditional Celtic eateries and Halifax has a very vibrant “patio culture” where bars and restaurants build outdoor seating so everyone can enjoy the summer weather. There are six universities and four major colleges in Halifax with over 50,000 students living and studying here. Students love the young urban vibe.

Social activities

Each week, Oxford International Halifax hosts two to four social activities for students. There are many opportunities to practice English in a social context while having fun and making new friends from Canada and around the world. Annual events include Halifax scavenger hunt, Lobster boil, Easter celebration, Barbecue party, Trip to Peggy's Cove, Trip to Cape Breton, Trip to Prince Edward Island, Halloween party, Christmas party, Tidal Bore Rafting, Ski/Snowboard trip, Camping, and On Tree Ziplining. More casual activities may include discovering restaurants, soccer games, movie nights, watching hockey games, visiting museums and galleries, canoeing, cosmic bingo, curling, wine tours, kayaking, cosmic bowling, beach days, ice skating, bouldering, university and college tours, dances, boat party, and seasonal events in the city.

Small classes

Oxford International Halifax's average class size is between 8 - 10 students for lower levels and 12 - 14 for higher levels so students get lots of personal time with the instructor.
