What Sets Us Apart

At Oxford Scholastica, 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 meet 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 how to give yourself the best chance of getting into your dream university. 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.
