Oxford Scholastica has given me the confidence to determine my own future. I learned to step out of my comfort zone and try incredible new things, even when they seemed scary at first. I've also had the amazing opportunity to build a network of kind and open-minded people, all from different countries.

One thing I have learned at Oxford Scholastica is how to become better at making new friends. I am usually regarded as an introverted person, but here, in less than two weeks, I have made friends as close as brothers. I am sure our friendship will last a lifetime!

Oxford Scholastica has taught me to always reach for the stars. The programme has really opened my eyes to what I want my life to look like. I've learned academic skills but also social and emotional skills, like how to network, how to live away from home and how to make new friends.

I have found the classes so insightful and interesting and have learnt more about Medicine than I ever have in school, as well as new topics I had never considered. I'm sure this knowledge will be invaluable in my application to medical school and it has made me feel much more confident in my own abilities.

I have benefitted a lot from Oxford Scholastica. I have developed my social skills, especially learning how to interact with others outside of a formal setting like school, and gained a lot of confidence. The programme has also given me much more clarity about my potential future career options.

Friendships that Last a Lifetime

Lifelong friendships start at Oxford Scholastica, from your first welcome meeting to your final farewell.

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.
