OUR ORGANISATION

The Oxford Institute is a not-for-profit organization founded by academics and alumni from Oxford University. We are accredited by the British Accreditation Council as a further education and short-course provider. The Oxford Institute has been a leading institution that organises summer programmes in Oxford and London. All of our programmes are conducted by world-renowned academics associated with the University of Oxford and provide a unique experience to our students to broaden their horizons and experience by studying at a world-leading centre of education.

WHY US
The Oxford Institute offers an exclusive Oxford experience through its summer school programmes. There are a number of factors that make us distinct. Our strength lies in the holistic and personalised nature of the programmes. Every day is balanced to include academic, extracurricular (debates, sports, arts, music), and social (sightseeing, entertainment, cultural evenings) activities.

Students are also facilitated in using their daily unstructured time to explore and pursue activities that align with their interests. The programmes are very intimate - limited to 50-80 students per batch - and therefore highly personalised. All courses are taught in tutorials - the unique Oxford teaching method of intensive daily sessions between 1-3 students per tutor. The subject and pace of tutorials are shaped by the interests and needs of the student. There are no fixed lesson plans and no topic is out of bounds.
WHY OXFORD

Renowned for its academic excellence and quality it has attracted the best talent from around the world, polished it and produced exceptionally successful men and women.

Both Oxford town and the University of Oxford has a symbiotic relationship and together this creates a unique social and academic environment that must be experienced by all promising young luminaries, aspiring for greater things in life. Here we shall present some glimpses from life at the University of Oxford.
PARENTAL GUIDE
We recognise that it is an important decision for parents to send their children away for a two-week summer course to Oxford. This is a responsibility we take very seriously. Here we provide additional information to address any concerns parents may have for the welfare of their children. We are happy to discuss any further concerns about accommodation parents may require.

Why Attend Our Summer Programme(s)

Having years of experience running summer courses, we have observed young students beginning the programme with much trepidation and anxiety, but leaving Oxford having had one of the most enriching and memorable experiences of their lives.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
At the Oxford Summer Camp we strive to cultivate curiosity, imagination and self-confidence in all our students. We believe in providing students with a holistic learning experience which nurtures their passions within and beyond the classroom. These experiences encourage our students to think critically, broaden their perspectives, cultivate new interests, challenge assumptions, and build a sense of ownership over their own intellectual journeys. We believe the best learning experiences are those which engage the curiosity of students and empower them to pursue their ideas independently.

We are the only summer programme in Oxford which places Oxford University’s unique teaching method - the tutorial system - at the heart of our teaching approach.
