Academic Heritage
These historic cities have been home to numerous world leaders, scholars, and visionaries, such as former renowned scientist Stephen Hawking, and celebrated author J.R.R. Tolkien. The rich history and vibrant academic communities of Oxford and Cambridge provide an inspiring backdrop for students to engage deeply with global political dynamics.
What parents say: I felt more and more reassured in the months leading up to the program because the communication was excellent, the portal and the checklists were well-run and buttoned up, and we got every detail we needed including all of the housing info before we left. Little did we know the experience would be so much more than we imagined. (Reach Cambridge)

Practise English with Locals
In Oxford and Cambridge, students have the unique opportunity to enhance their English proficiency by engaging with local residents and fellow students. Engaging in informal activities like sharing a joke, enjoying an ice cream, or spending time on the river fosters personal connections that transcend cultural differences. By cultivating such relationships, individuals can transform challenging dynamics into positive, cooperative engagements, thereby learning how to enhance international relations in the future.
What kids say: I learned being responsible, punctual, open-minded and thoughtful. I was all alone there so I had to be responsible of my room keys, money, and stuff. The classes, breakfast, trips and dinner start at the exact time stated so I learned to respect time and be punctual. I became open-minded because I had to make friends and communicate with the people there regardless of our differences. I am more of a thoughtful person now
