Our Teaching Philosophy

Since 2013, we’ve welcomed thousands of students to our academic programmes. Over the years, we’ve honed our unique three-dimensional teaching philosophy:

LEARN: Deepen Your Subject Knowledge

Deepen your subject knowledge through engaging classes and Masterclasses with expert tutors who will help you build a solid foundation of knowledge while encouraging critical thinking and intellectual curiosity.

SEE: Be Inspired by Industry Experts

Meet inspirational tutors, mentors, and Heroes who will give you practical insights into what a career in your chosen field is truly like, offering valuable advice based on their real-world experience.

DO: Tackle Real-World Challenges

Apply theory to practice through hands-on activities, problem-solving, and academic challenges, gaining experience and developing essential skills for future success.

Worldview

Every Great Journey Starts with Optimism

At Oxford Scholastica, all our programmes are rooted in our worldview – a set of principles that define and guide our programmes.

As a young person today, you have more options available to you than at any other point in human history. You have access to more information and education than ever before, and you’ll be graduating into a world where mindset is everything.

That’s why it’s more important than ever to go beyond the curriculum and put theory into practice.

Throughout your time in Oxford, we’ll aim to give you the mindset you need for success. We’ll prepare you to think actively, collaboratively and for the long term. We believe that this mindset will equip you to thrive in the future – no matter what that future looks like.

Grow Personally

Our courses are designed to help you mature, evolve and emerge with a stronger mindset. This growth comes from what you learn and achieve in the classroom, but also from the experiences you gain outside of it – exploring historic sites, immersing yourself in new cultures and forming lasting friendships. We empower you to step into the world with a renewed sense of purpose.

Get Career Confidence

Your career begins here. Learn from the best as you work with accomplished tutors, mentors and Heroes in your field. Dive deep into your chosen subject with top-tier tutors and watch your future start to unfold.

What Sets Oxford Scholastica Apart

At Oxford Scholastica, our approach is thoughtful and intentional.
We place our students at the centre of everything we do.

Meet Your Future Self

Curious about what your dream career is really like? Meet young professionals already living that reality. Our Heroes Programme gives you the chance to chat with rising stars in your field. Work on real-world challenges, hear their stories, ask questions and get inspired.

Take the Mystery Out of University

If you’re unsure about what your university future might look like, a summer school can be the perfect taster. Beyond gaining appreciation for the subject you’re planning to pursue, you’ll gain insight into everything from university-style teaching to the complexities of the university admissions process. When you have a sense of where you’re going, you’ll be less likely to spend time and money realising it may not be what you really want.

Go Beyond Theory

You’ll put theory into practice with real-world challenges that allow you to experience cutting-edge subject matter in unexpected ways. With Masterclasses to sharpen your critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, you’ll learn to become a better communicator, collaborator and leader – talents that will embolden you moving forward.

Our Size is Your Advantage

We are small by design. Our nurturing, bespoke approach is reflected in every aspect of our programme. With small class sizes and low student-teacher ratios, everyone gets to know everyone in no time, setting the stage for lifelong friendships and connections.

Prepare to Meet the World

Living and learning alongside students from every continent, you will quickly gain appreciation and empathy for other cultures and feel part of the global community. Suddenly, you’ll see the world through a wider lens.

We Help Students Seize the Future

Our immersive programmes give young people with big dreams the opportunity to get a true understanding of their career path.
