The Oxford Learning Difference

A Different Way

Oxford Learning’s History

The concept behind Oxford Learning’s programs began in the 1980s when cognitive scientists and educators gathered to discuss the latest trends in education, particularly the emerging science of cognition—learning about learning or how the mind learns.

They aimed to uncover a more effective method to teach and test students using the latest brain science. This research eventually became the foundation of Oxford Learning®’s uniquely Canadian programs and systems.

Since the first Oxford Learning location opened in 1984, Oxford Learning has grown across Canada from a single tutoring centre to a trusted Canadian brand with locations from coast to coast.

Today, Oxford Learning uses its foundation in cognitive science to help students of all ages and grades become stronger thinkers and learners and tap into better learning opportunities that they can rely on for life. With nearly four decades of proven success, Oxford Learning is proud to help students succeed in school and life.

Quotes

Everything was in position in order for me to be successful and have a seamless opening for my centre. Everything comes in your opening order—from the pencils and erasers to the bookshelves to the furniture. You know, I thought it would be a big step and maybe a little bit of added stress, but it was quite an enjoyable experience.
