Westlake International School Students

Over the years WIS has developed a wide range of programmes and partnerships offering support and enabling students to gain entry to top universities around the world. One of these partnerships is between Westlake International School and Oxford International College (OIC). WIS has collaborated with OIC for a variety of programmes like IGCSE revision workshops and STEM projects.

As a result of this, OIC has awarded WIS with the Oxford International College – Westlake Scholarship Award. This award is open to any WIS student upon completion of Year 11 and the IGCSE exams, and offers two deserving recipients the opportunity to further their studies at the prestigious Oxford International College, the top ranked A level college in the UK. This scholarship offers a pathway to not only finishing the last two years of secondary school abroad but also enhances top tier university prospects.
