Go Beyond the Curriculum

At Oxford Scholastica, you’ll explore a subject you’re passionate about and get to grips with the theory behind it.
 
The programme will take you through the theory and far beyond, with lots of practical experience, skills building and a hands-on challenge to bring the subject to life.

We’re big believers that the right guidance, from an inspiring mentor, in the right setting, can totally change the direction of a student’s life and career—for the better.

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

Seize the Future

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.

A Comprehensive Learning Experience

Discover new ways to experience your field of choice.
Gain a real feel of what your future could be.

Challenges: Tackle Real-World Problem Solving
You’ll take part in a rigorous academic Challenge – an opportunity to stretch yourself, collaborate with peers, and put theory into practice.

Medicine students visit a local hospital to meet and diagnose real patients; Law students take part in a practical Mock Trial Challenge. Business students design, build and pitch an idea for a web-based business.

Whichever course you choose, the Challenge is a powerful opportunity to take your learning beyond the curriculum.

Heroes: Learn from Role Models
You’ll have plenty of opportunities to “meet your future self” – speaking with inspirational mentors who can share their experiences, advice and insights.
 
As well as your tutor, Head of House, Activities Coordinators and Masterclass leaders, you’ll have a dedicated Hero session. Your Hero is a young professional in your chosen field, who will discuss their university and career journey, explain what a typical day in their life is like and answer all your questions.
 
Open a window to what your life might be like in 15 years’ time and gain the knowledge, skills and experience to get there.
Masterclasses: Experience Skills-Based Sessions
All Oxford Scholastica students take part in inspiring Masterclasses that build essential practical life skills that will form the basis of building a successful career.

These sessions are designed to be both engaging and impactful, equipping you with tools that will benefit you long after the programme ends.

From debating and critical thinking to leadership and university applications, our Masterclasses will prepare you to chart whichever path you choose.
