Learning

Outline

Become one of our Maths Explorers and you’ll learn how to analyse patterns, solve numerical obstacles and look at how mathematical problems exist in everyday life. We’ll explore the foundations of pure and applied mathematics and build your knowledge in a range of areas from geometric mathematics to algebra and statistics.

Expect head-scratching puzzles, frustrating (but so satisfying once you know the answer) brainteasers and codes that help you crack this multidimensional subject!

Teaching methodology

Our teaching for 9-10-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. 

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 sets of Harry Potter World, 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.
