Wroxton College has been a leading semester abroad destination for American college students since 1965. It has now entered an exciting new chapter as an independent, non-profit educational institution. Building on its distinguished legacy, the College is guided by a dedicated board of directors working in partnership with the dean. Our mission and our future are safeguarded by a structure designed to ensure they remain rooted at Wroxton Abbey for generations to come.
About Wroxton College
Wroxton Abbey is in the charming Cotswolds village of Wroxton, its narrow lanes of 17th-century thatched-roofed cottages nestled around the historic village pond. However, for all its quaintness the village is only 10 minutes away from a mainline rail station, 15 minutes from the M40, and 40 minutes from Birmingham’s international airport.
Just 3 miles away is the market town of Banbury, with its shops, pubs, clubs and theatres.
The ancient university city of Oxford with its museums, galleries, and vibrant college-town atmosphere is a 15-minute train ride from Banbury.
London, our bustling capital city, can be reached in an hour from Banbury train station.
Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare and home to the award-winning Royal Shakespeare Company, is a thirty-minute bus ride from the College.
