Student Life

Get an authentic taste of British boarding school life

On your Junior Summer Course you’ll stay at one of two beautiful, historic English schools – Cheltenham Ladies’ College or Wycombe Abbey. You can stay for anything from one week to six weeks, and there are 10 fascinating subjects to choose from. All classes are taught by expert tutors, and always in small groups. So whether you’re studying History, English or Storytelling, Coding, Maths, or Medicine you’ll be tested academically, and get a great insight into every subject. Plus, there are lots of exciting day trips and activities to enjoy with your new friends, too.

Excursions and social activities

Your Junior Oxford Summer Course isn’t just about academic work. It’s an adventure too. So prepare for exciting trips that will inspire you and keep you entertained. Whether you’re marvelling at the spectacular film sets in Harry Potter World, discovering the incredible history of Windsor Castle, or exploring epic Blenheim Palace, there’s so much to discover with your fellow international students.

Where you stay and who looks after you

Your boarding house is really safe and comfortable, and lots of fun to stay in. You’ll find common rooms, study rooms and loads of outside space to make the most of the British summer. And just like a real boarding school student, you’ll have your own ‘house parent’ who’s always there to look after you, support you, and make sure you’re happy, however long you’re staying with us. There is even a qualified nurse to care for you if you feel poorly.

Accommodation

Our comfortable boarding houses have common rooms, study rooms and plenty of outside space to make the most of British summer. A ‘house parent’ will look after young students and ensure they are safe and happy while they are with us.
