St Stephen’s House, Oxford

Camp Summary

Founded in 1876, St Stephen’s House is a beautiful, historic college (part of the University of Oxford) set in an architecturally-prized former monastery, including a Neo-Gothic church designed by famous Victorian architect George Frederick Bodley. Surrounded by extensive, flower-filled gardens, it offers an oasis of tranquility amidst Oxford’s buzzing city centre whilst still being just a short walk to the main tourist attractions, museums and restaurants.

Its modernised campus includes a 24/7 library with 15,000 books (it’s also just a 20 minute walk to the famous Bodleian Library), a spacious common room to relax in, and a traditional dining hall. Bedrooms are mostly singles with some twins, and there’s on-campus 24-hour security, including 24-hour patrol.

FAQs and Contact

How do Visas Work?
It's important to ensure you get the right visa for your summer school stay, which can typically be a tourist visa for short stays or you may need a student visa for longer stays. Your chosen summer school provider will support you with an acceptance letter.
How Does Insurance Work?
Many providers now provide educational travel insurance within their fees, so make sure to check this at the checkout (and if you need help, contact us!). In all circumstances make sure you have your own travel insurance cover as you normally would for trips abroad.
