SBC offers academic and English-language focused summer courses for students aged 9 - 18, all taught by expert tutors in prestigious venues.
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.
The experience has been amazing overall, and I’ve had the fantastic opportunity of becoming close to people really different from me in just two weeks. I have learnt a lot since my arrival, not only in the scholastic field
Honestly, Headington was the best thing that happened to me this year, I met so many different people with different cultures. All the stuff members were amazing and so nice and supportive , I felt safe and at home here and I’m so sad to be leaving but hopefully I will be back next year
Outstanding experience! My children went to SBC’s Summer Schools over the last 4 years experiencing different locations but always the same level of quality, safety and fun!
My daughter loves the variety of activities and lessons on the courses and is looking forward to returning this summer’
