warnborough college
Warnborough College was founded by Ethyl Tempest-Mogg in Oxford in 1973.
Originally founded for visiting American students keen to experience the Oxford
Socratic method of learning, Warnborough soon acquired an increasing number of
international students who had the opportunity to study English and take courses
for university entrance. From its beginning, sponsorship was obtained from many
American educators including the Presidents of various universities, Bishops of
several dioceses, and the President of the National Council of Churches of
America. Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher sent her warmest wishes for a
successful future. Read more about our founding sponsors. Expansion of Programs
During the 1980s and 1990s, Warnborough expanded its facilities and programmes
to cater for an increase in international students from all over the world. Many
governments sponsored students to study at Warnborough, including from countries
such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, Jordan, Malaysia, and Uruguay. Popular
International Summer Schools (ISS) were held at the universities of Oxford,
Cambridge, Edinburgh and London and appealed to mature American students.
