International Students

Kingswood Oxford’s Upper School regularly welcomes academically qualified students from other countries. International applicants must be proficient in English (reading, writing and speaking), as Kingswood Oxford does not offer English Language Learner (ELL) support. As a non-residential campus, international students must also secure housing through one of our partner agencies or an immediate family member residing in Connecticut. An immediate family member would be a mother, father, aunt or uncle. 

“I want to learn more and focus on what I’m interested in. Here at KO, there’s the opportunity to do that: there’s the Harkness table where you sit, you discuss, you ask questions, and you explore things together with other students.”

— Casey Q., ’19
