More Information
Our courses combine Oxford-style teaching with practical challenges and debates. Small class sizes and expert tutors help you dive deep into your chosen subject area.
Day trips to castles. Punting. A moonlit ball. We couldn’t have you travel to Oxford and not experience the rich history and culture of the city (and beyond). That’s why our programme offers a range of day trips and fun on-campus activities.
Students will be accommodated in one of three Oxford College Residences: St George's Gate, St Thomas' (part of St Peter's College), and The Lampl Building (part of Corpus Christi College).

Frequently Asked Questions
Oxford Scholastica Academy Frequently Asked Questions
We are very happy to help with airport transfers: We recommend flying to London Heathrow, as it's the closest airport to Oxford Our staff team will be there on arrival day, and if you book a flight which arrives at Heathrow between 8am and 3pm you'll be able to book to join our minibus service (which leaves between 9am and 4pm) On departure day, our minibus leaves Oxford between 6am and 12pm, so if your flight leaves from 10am to 4pm you'll be able to book onto this (we recommend allowing a minimum of four hours between the taxi leaving Oxford and the flight departure time, in order to be on the safe side).
No, we do not provide insurance - we'd recommend checking with your travel insurers to ensure that you are covered.
Students' welfare and safety is our top priority at the Oxford Scholastica Academy. Students each have a Head of House, who is residential in their accommodation building, and is available day and night. During the day, we have a team of Activities Coordinators (one for every ten to fifteen students) who are there to support and supervise the students. Students do have some unsupervised free time during the day - for example, they have a two-hour lunch break on most days, which they can use to explore Oxford with their friends - and we aim to strike a balance of safe independence. Our younger students are not allowed to leave the building unless they sign out with a friend and for the first few days, a member of our team will walk with them to show them where to go for lunch.
Students take part in a packed schedule of academic, social and cultural activities. Typically, mornings are taken up with academic content, while in the afternoon students experience a mixture of skills-based Masterclasses and cultural activities.
You can click here - https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor - for the latest visa information from the UK government about visas, including how to apply for a visa, how long it takes, and what it costs. Once the balance of the fees have been paid, we can send an official stamped letter which you can use to apply for your visa.
The accommodation is on the Oxford University campus and is just a short 10 minute walk to the classes. You can see photos and read more about our accommodation here.
Students graduating from our programme will receive a personalised Letter of Recommendation and a Certificate of Achievement - these are invaluable assets for future university applications and an excellent example of proven interest in a subject. We often support alumni with their university applications by submitting their Letter of Recommendation directly to universities.
“The program offers the children just the right blend of academic challenge and independence, on the one hand, and the necessary oversight and care, on the other. It is a well structured and well executed summer school that I strongly recommend to all parents.”
“It was a very fun and informative class, and I was able to learn from the different perspectives of other students around the world. The small class size and conversation definitely aided in my learning process. And even though this was my first time entering the subject, the tutor explained everything in a way that I could understand and digest. Overall, the Oxford Scholastica course was a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend it to my classmates and friends.”
“My time at OSA was some of the best in my life. It was a very enriching experience where I learned quite a lot from my course (Debate and Public Speaking), but it was also really fun! I made tons of new friends from all around the world, which helped me learn about different cultures, and some of those friends are for life. I wish we all lived closer though, because I really miss them! To summarize, my OSA experience was fantastic and I recommend it 100%.Mar Raventós, SPAIN”
“I had an amazing experience at Oxford scholastics where I got to learn a lot about a topic that I am interested in and I got to meet friends for life! We also did extremely fun activities with our houses! Thank you Oxford scholastica”
“The Summer courses are wonderful and a great opportunity for ambitious students!”
