- The school began in 1977 as a sixth form, initially based at the home of its founder, Malcolm van Biervliet d’Overbroeck. Today it comprises a senior school, international school (for ages 13-16) and sixth form. About half its population is made up of overseas students.
- While the three schools are on separate sites across Oxford, pupils come together for events, drama productions and weekend boarding activities.
- Facilities include a music suite, an arts centre – with a dark room, workshops and a kiln – and the 200-seat, multipurpose Cohen Hall. Students also have access to the University of Oxford sports facilities.
- Since 2021 d’Overbroeck’s has been part of Nord Anglia Education, a group operating more than 80 schools in 33 countries. This allows students to join the Global Campus, an online learning platform through which they can work with children at partner schools around the world.
- The school offers scholarships in academic subjects and the performing arts, covering up to 25 per cent of fees.
