The International Program at Oxley was introduced in 1988. International students broaden their knowledge of language, culture, and academics. We have created a rigorous program that has achieved a 100% pass rate in the VCE. We deeply understand our students' backgrounds and have incorporated an integrated approach. To support international students with their English language ability, we offer an Integrated English program. The length of the program is determined by the individual needs of the student and will often be 10 to 20 weeks in duration, prior to entry into the mainstream class setting. Integrated English provides a strong foundation for students’ successful studies and cultural adjustment.
