History	History The school was founded in 1977 as a sixth form college to help students who had struggled elsewhere pass their A-levels. This ethos—building confidence and prioritising wellbeing—remains central to its holistic approach. Today, d'Overbroeck's operates across three sites in Oxford: Senior School, International School, and Sixth Form. It is part of the Nord Anglia Education global family, which provides access to world-leading education technology and international collaborations.	History Edward Greene established Greene's in Oxford in 1967 and moved to the 17th‑century Pembroke Street premises soon after. The property, in the heart of the city and surrounded by university colleges, is Greene's home today and has inspired eminent academics for centuries. Greene's is the oldest tutorial college in Oxford, and quite possibly in the U.K., having changed owners only once.

Clubs are student‑led and new clubs can be formed in coordination with the Student Experience Officer.

The native language course lasts one year and is followed in the first year of the Sixth Form. Places are subject to an arrival assessment to ensure the course fits with the student's overall study programme. When three or more students wish to study a particular language, the course fee is £1,000 and includes a minimum of 45 hours of group contact time; if fewer than three students enroll, the school assesses each case to agree a suitable programme of tuition.
