The #1 Rated Oxford Summer School
For the 2nd year in a row my daughter had an unforgettable summer break in the magical setting of Oxford! A fascinating course with an untold amount of fun things to do. Oxford Scholastica has been one of the best experiences my daughter has had.
Those two weeks at Oxford Scholastica were a really wonderful experience. I got the chance to explore what my subject is really all about through this programme. Classes were very interesting and I loved how the tutor made the programme very interactive!
The Law course was challenging but extremely rewarding, as it assured me that it was the path I wanted to choose at university. The community also leaves you with an excellent support network after the program. An amazing experience I would recommend to anyone.
