Oxford Summer Program for High School Students: Three Foundational Pillars

Our programme is built upon three core pillars: learning, lifestyle, and leadership. Each adds to the value of our programme, ensuring a world-class experience for our students.

Learning

At the Oxford Institute, learning is the top priority. Our students commit to a rigorous academic program with effective outcomes after the summer ends. Students are grouped into small cohorts, with tutors providing personalized feedback and assignments. This tutorial teaching approach has been central to Oxford for centuries and has been responsible for raising some of the most brilliant minds in the world. In addition, seminars, debate coaching, extracurriculars, admissions counselling, and lectures provide learning that goes beyond the classroom.

Lifestyle

Offering quality learning alone would not do justice to students at the Oxford Institute. Adding a touch of Oxford University life completes our programme. Our students have the opportunity to live in the dorms of St Anne's College and access Oxford's dining halls, sports facilities, lecture rooms, and other facilities. Therefore, they get a highlight of what an average day looks like in the life of an Oxford student.

Leading

We aim to provide proper guidance and training to leaders of tomorrow, and therefore, leading is our third pillar. Students receive training in public speaking and Oxford-Union-style debate coaching in the same rooms where many high-profile personalities sit and speak.
