Our Approach to Summer Learning

At Oxford Summer Courses, we believe that where you learn makes a difference. That’s why we host our programmes in some of the UK’s most prestigious and inspiring educational settings—offering students the chance to live and learn in places steeped in academic tradition and excellence.

Unlike traditional summer schools, we don’t follow a fixed curriculum. Instead, we adapt our courses to each group, tailoring content to students’ interests and goals. With expert tutors and small group sizes, our approach promotes creativity, confidence, and curiosity. While tiered pricing options are available for older age groups, our junior courses at Eton are delivered as an all-inclusive experience—designed to provide maximum enrichment and support in one exceptional package.

Eton College, Windsor

We host our summer programmes for ages 12–14 at Eton College, one of the world’s most iconic and prestigious boarding schools. Founded in 1440 by King Henry VI, Eton has educated generations of leaders, writers, and changemakers—including 20 British Prime Ministers. With its grand architecture, rich traditions, and outstanding facilities, Eton offers an inspiring environment for bright, curious young learners.

Set just outside the royal town of Windsor, the college provides a self-contained campus with safe, supervised spaces for study and recreation. Our students experience life in one of the UK’s most historic educational institutions, building confidence, independence, and friendships through a balance of academic discovery and structured activities.

Who Studies at Eton College?

Our courses at Eton are designed specifically for students aged 12–14 who are ready to explore subjects in greater depth while developing essential academic and social skills. Around 70 students attend each course, forming a friendly, supportive learning community.

All teaching is led by experienced primary educators and follows an interactive, task-based approach. Students take part in engaging group work, problem-solving exercises, games, and multimedia presentations—combining fun with meaningful learning. The content is age-appropriate and designed to encourage collaboration, curiosity, and critical thinking. It’s a step up from our 9–10 courses, with more independence and hands-on group projects that spark both confidence and creativity.

Accommodation and Facilities

Students stay in Eton’s traditional boarding houses, with girls in South Lawn and boys in Durnford. All rooms are single occupancy with shared bathrooms (toilets, showers, communal sinks), and each house includes a common room for relaxing and socialising. Bed linen is provided, but students should bring their own towels. A weekly laundry service is included, and our pastoral team offers round-the-clock support and supervision throughout the course.

Students also benefit from Eton’s exceptional facilities, including a swimming pool (used once a week), a large sports hall, outdoor playing fields, a theatre for talks and movie nights, and a marquee for Friday discos. Meals are served in the historic Bekynton dining hall. These spaces combine to offer a balanced experience of structured learning and fun, age-appropriate activities.
