History Explorers
From world wars to natural disasters, revolutions and great feats in mankind and technology, we leave no stone unturned on our fascinating History Explorers course.
Learning
Outline
Become one of our History Explorers and you’ll learn about a range of topics from political, cultural and social shifts in past societies to key events, periods and legacies that helped to shape the way our world looks and operates today.
Teaching methodology
Our teaching for 11-12-year-old students is focused on interactive and task-based learning. You will be taught by experienced primary teachers, who are there to inspire and engage you with the subjects they are passionate about. Our courses run over a week, and during this time you will develop your subject knowledge through multimedia presentations, group work, games, problem-solving, and project work with a meaningful real-life focus. This teaching style has an increased focus on age-appropriate content and offers more opportunities for independent group work than our 9-10 courses.
The experience
At Oxford Summer Courses, we believe in balancing hard work with exciting excursions. We know what trips will inspire students and keep their young minds active and entertained, so whether we’re trekking around Windsor Castle, exploring the epic Blenheim Palace, or marveling at the spectacular artifacts in London's best-kept museums, we’re always pushing the envelope of discovery and wonder.
This immersive learning experience will begin your child's educational journey towards success and help them gain the experience of British boarding school life. And of course, it's loads of fun.

Review
Aarupi, United Kingdom
I’ve enjoyed the company of having a roommate and that you make so many new friends and you just get to meet new people and that’s fun.
