Summer Boarding Courses

Since its foundation in 2009, Summer Boarding Courses has welcomed over 12,000 students to its summer courses in Oxford and other prestigious UK destinations. For young learners aged 13-16, SBC’s Headington Summer School offers the chance to study in one of Oxford’s most prestigious schools while learning English combined with a range of other subjects. For students aged 15-17, the Oxford College Summer school offers more intensive (25 hours tuition per week) courses in Medicine, Law, Business and International Relations. All courses have an academic focus, but it’s not all work and no play: students aged 13-16 at Headington can expect at least three excursions to local cities of interest, while those aged 15-17 in Oxford can expect at least two. All students enjoy a varied social programme, including sports and local excursions, to fill free time during the afternoons and evenings.
