d’Overbroeck’s Oxford

Academic excellence is at the heart of what d’Overbroecks aims to achieve. We aim to provide a broad education that will stretch and develop the whole person. And we aim to ensure that our teaching is ‘finely tuned to the specific requirements of individuals’.

We believe in flexibility and in the power of laughter and humanity, and we believe that students who are happy and at ease in their school environment, who are working with in league with a team of highly gifted, committed and enthusiastic teachers, are going to achieve and grow to their full potential, academically and personally – and that they are going to develop skills, attitudes and aptitudes that will stand them in very good stead in later life.
