Holiday + Summer Schools

We host holiday camps for ages 11+ in the UK. Our summer school accommodation is hosted in Oxford University colleges, allowing students to experience the traditional dining halls, formal dinners, and college grounds. We recruit all of our academic staff from the University of Oxford, adding our signature holistic learning methods, ensuring students learn through a key blend of critical thinking and hands-on learning. We provide career and university insights where students can engage with relatable mentors who have successfully navigated such processes themselves. Our courses are not directly affiliated with the University of Oxford.

Our summer and holiday camps provide ESL support for non-native English speaking students. The classes aim to familiarise students with colloquial English, and challenge students to engage with high level English found in university and job applications.

Students have the opportunity to write and perfect mock personal statements, attend interview courses, write and present essays, and continuously practice their English with native speakers.

We offer Academic or Experiential camps.

• Students on all courses receive a Certificate of Completion •

Students that choose the Academic camp will complete a mini research project and receive a personal letter of reference from an Oxford University lecturer, that they can use in school, university, or job applications.
Selecting a degree path is an important and impactful choice! Students will spend the next three to four years of their lives dedicated to their degree, so the Academic Course gives students a chance to understand if this path is suited to them. Some of our students have returned for multiple summer schools, testing out different subject programmes each time.

Included as part of the Academic Programme are the following additional elements.

Research Project
Students will work directly alongside professors and lecturers recruited from the University of Oxford to discover and choose a topic or theory that they can explore, and write up into a mini-dissertation. They can then reference their research projects in personal statements, applications, and in interviews.

Mentorship
Our summer schools ensure that all students are paired up with a hand-picked tutor to guide them through their time. Every day, students will have the chance to check in with their tutor-mentor and seek academic advice.

• All GCSE subjects • All A Level Subjects •
•  International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum •
• History   • English Language •   English Literature • Mathematics   •
• Physics • Chemistry • Biology • Economics •   Finance   • Computer Science •
• Academic Advice & Counselling   • Career Planning

The Experiential Programme is for students who want to combine tourism with hands-on workshop style learning. Please see some of the example classes below, which aim to equip students with skills such as independent and critical thinking, helping them tackle future challenges such as the rise of AI.

• Critical Thinking • AI •
• Learning through acting: a history of Shakespeare drama workshop •
• British History • English Language • Mathematical Reasoning • Biology Labs • Medicine Lectures • Finance Challenge • Computer Science Labs •
• Academic Advice & Counselling • Interview Practice • University Entrance Examinations •

We also offer shorter Academic or adult Postgraduate Camps.
Students on the short courses can complete a mini research project and receive a letter of reference.

Postgraduate students can complete courses in Law, Politics and Public Policy, Business and Ai, Computer Science and IT. All courses are taught by Oxford University professors and postdocs. Postgraduate students can attend networking sessions and use their references as part of job applications.

Our academic and support staff are all hired from the University of Oxford to provide excellent tutorials, workshops, seminars, lectures, and hands-on industry placement days. Many of our PhD and Master's staff have been awarded prestigious scholarships, and our younger undergraduate staff are on site mentors, helping to guide students through interview and examination stages, with their first hand knowledge and experience. First aid trained staff will be on-site overnight.

How it works

Everything except travel to and from the destination is covered in our all-inclusive summer and holiday camps.

Academic courses are the perfect opportunity for students to understand if their chosen subject is for them. We've had students attend coding camps, who decided to return the following year for medicine! Staff with experience in each subject field are there to engage with students and provide realistic insights into their study and career options.

Step 1: Fill in the contact form

We will contact you directly, to find out about the student's personality, and which course is best suited to their goals.

Step 2: (Academic Only) Complete Interview

Academic students are required to attend a short online interview that helps us understand which their preferred subjects and intended personal and academic goals.

Step 3: Complete paperwork

All paperwork detailing dietary, health, and educational requiremenets must be submitted to the team. We will provide you with all the paperwork we require. Some student might require a visa to attend the school. Students will be issued with a supporting letter for their visa applications if necessary.

Step 4: Attendance!

Students and parents will be put directly in touch with staff that are on-site and online to provide real time updates from the course. Staff will also resolve any queries or requests before the course.
