Our Purpose

Every Great Journey Starts with Optimism

The world’s never been so alive with possibility. Opportunities we once thought inconceivable, or could scarcely have foreseen, are now right in front of us. We see this every day in medicine, technology, science, law, engineering and other rapidly emerging fields.

Young people are excited for the future yet face uncertainty in a world of social media comparison, climate change, misinformation, political upheaval and mounting exam pressures. We help students see the path ahead with resolve and optimism. Oxford Scholastica gives students the tools to thrive in this ever-changing environment.

We teach young people how to think critically, actively and for the long-term. Here, they’ll develop a strong sense of independence and learn how to write their own story, while also learning the value of collaboration and community. All while pursuing their academic passion to its fullest.
