Who are Our Students?

 Oxford Scholastica students are uniquely passionate. Unlike other summer schools, our students come because they’re genuinely eager to learn. They’re bright, ambitious and excited to explore the subjects they love.

Coming to Oxford from around the world, they bring diverse experiences and a truly global outlook. As an Oxford Scholastica student, you’ll meet people you might never have encountered otherwise and discover you have more in common than you think.
Friendships and connections occur naturally. It’s the perfect environment to learn, explore a great city and socialise. If you’re curious, open-minded, friendly and intellectually engaged, your spot awaits.

A Transformative Experience

We hear it all the time: both students and their parents rave about
how the Oxford Scholastica experience transforms them.

Before the Summer School

While some students come to Oxford with friends or siblings, many Oxford Scholastica students join the summer school on their own, without knowing anyone else on the programme.

Before the programme, you’ll join a Welcome Meeting to meet our team and ask any questions you may have. You’ll also be invited to join our online community on Circle, where you can connect with fellow students and start building friendships before you arrive.

During the Summer School

From the moment you arrive at Oxford Scholastica, you’ll meet our friendly team, get to know your fellow students, take part in icebreaker games and develop deep, meaningful friendships.
 
During your time in Oxford, you’ll take part in a packed schedule of academic, social and cultural activities. You’ll grow personally, academically and socially – all alongside your new friends and classmates.

After the Summer School

When you leave Oxford Scholastica, you’ll take your experience with you. You’ll have the ongoing support of the Oxford Scholastica team and a network of like-minded friends from around the world. And you’ll move forward with the skills and inspiration you need for your future.

You might even like to apply for our Ambassador Programme to continue developing your skills.

Our Impact

For intellectually engaged, sparky and curious students like ours, the future is bright. After their time at Oxford Scholastica, armed with the skills, experience and mindset they’ve gained, students go on to great success at school, university and beyond.
 
We often hear from alumni many years after their time with us about the impact the programme has had on their academic and career trajectories. 
 
From improving grades at school, to increasing confidence, to excelling at university, to applying successfully to study abroad, to taking the first steps in a dream career – the Oxford Scholastica experience reverberates for many years to come.
 
“In 2022, I spent two weeks at OSA, where I met some of my best friends to date. It was an experience that not only helped me figure out which academic path I want to pursue, but also allowed me to grow personally and intellectually.” Max – Student, Ghana
