Europa School Uk

Providing Multicultural Multilingual European Education in rural Oxfordshire. We offer students a bilingual education from age four culminating in the European Baccalaureate at 18. We are a member of a network of Accredited European Schools which form part of the European Schools, the official educational establishments controlled jointly by the governments of the Member States of the European Union. The European Schools’ programme was devised in 1953 when the first school opened in Luxembourg. Currently there are 22 schools spread throughout the European Union that follow the programme. Our school is an accredited European School able to offer the European Baccalaureate and to have access to a wide European network of teaching and learning. In Primary, half the week is taught through English and half taught through French, German or Spanish. At home, the pupils might speak English or any of roughly twenty other languages present in our community, united by the school but spread throughout Oxfordshire. It is not unknown for a child in Reception to be using four languages between school and home – and it works, not least because our dedicated staff have the experience and application needed to make it work. In Secondary, History and Geography are studied in a second language, ensuring a deep academic and empathetic engagement with our multicultural approach. Our pupils are confident in their own roots and confident to broaden their horizons. The staff come from all over Europe and beyond, creating a distinctly multicultural atmosphere and making this an exciting and enriching place to work. More than a third of our staff are part-time and we make every effort to be flexible with timetables.
