An Authentic Journey Through the World of Oxford
The Oxford Summer Program 2026 is our flagship experience and one of the longest-running residential camps hosted at St Anne’s College, Keble College, and Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford, from 2 - 13 August 2026. Each year, we bring together a carefully selected group of high-potential students from around the world, creating a truly international environment with a highly personalised learning journey.
Open to students aged 12–19+, the programme goes beyond advanced study. You will explore current ideas and debates by choosing two subjects, one as your Major and one as your Minor—to shape your own academic pathway.
Students learn under the guidance of distinguished Oxford academics, tutors, lecturers, and deans through Oxford’s renowned teaching approach, including small-group tutorials and lectures with low tutor-to-student ratios. This supports tailored, discussion-led learning that builds intellectual confidence, strengthens critical thinking, and encourages students to challenge conventional perspectives.
With Oxford-style tutorials, lectures, debate coaching, admissions guidance, and a full calendar of extra-curricular experiences—including cultural excursions and London walking tours—the programme offers a well-rounded residential experience, ideal for students aiming for Oxbridge and other leading universities.
The Oxford Summer Program has been refined over more than a decade to combine rigorous academic learning with meaningful cultural engagement. With small cohort sizes, each student receives personal attention, while Oxford-style tutorials and lectures allow the curriculum to be shaped around individual academic interests—encouraging intellectual curiosity and strengthening critical thinking.
Students also gain from structured peer interaction and networking opportunities throughout classes and evening enrichment activities. This supports collaborative learning and helps participants build lasting connections with ambitious peers from around the world.
The Oxford Summer Program is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive Oxford experience, structured around three core pillars.
Students experience life at Oxford Colleges with access to the dining hall, lecture theater, tutorial rooms, and the University’s sports and recreational facilities. Living and learning in this collegiate setting, they become part of the daily rhythm of Oxford life while also engaging with the wider city and community. Through formal dinners, social events, and cultural activities, students build independence, resilience, and a genuine sense of belonging.
Students take part in small-group Oxford-style tutorials and lectures in their chosen Major and Minor subjects, alongside debate coaching, admissions guidance for Oxbridge and other leading universities, and cultural visits such as London walking tours. They also benefit from direct interaction with Oxford tutors, creating valuable opportunities for mentorship and personalised academic support.
Students build leadership, teamwork, and communication skills through collaborative projects, public speaking, and Oxford Union-style debating sessions, supported by ongoing peer networking opportunities. They are encouraged to take initiative, reflect on group dynamics, and develop the interpersonal skills needed to thrive in both academic and professional settings.
Often called “the city of dreaming spires,” Oxford blends centuries of historic architecture with a vibrant, modern academic atmosphere. With roots reaching back to 1096, the University of Oxford has shaped generations of leaders, scholars, and innovators from around the world.
This programme gives students the chance to connect with Oxford’s intellectual heritage and experience the environment that has inspired and educated distinguished figures—from British prime ministers to literary icons such as J.R.R. Tolkien, and scientific pioneers including Stephen Hawking. Oxford is also widely regarded as a safe, student-friendly city and a global centre of rigorous scholarship, where its streets and colleges reflect a living tradition of academic excellence.
The fee covers tuition, Heathrow airport transfers, accommodation, meals, co-curricular activities, learning materials, tutorials, lectures, debate coaching, admissions counselling, sports activities, punting, and excursions to Oxford and London. (Travel to and from the UK is not included.)
