The teaching approach in Oxford’s entrepreneurship summer schools emphasizes experiential learning, encouraging young minds to think critically and creatively.

Daily activities are structured to balance instruction and independent exploration, creating an engaging classroom atmosphere. Students participate in workshops that stimulate their imagination and encourage them to develop their ideas. Small group settings facilitate personalized feedback, while collaborative projects promote a sense of community. This dynamic learning environment allows participants to apply theoretical concepts in practical scenarios, enhancing their overall experience and confidence in their abilities. The rhythm of study is designed to keep students motivated, with a blend of guided instruction and opportunities for self-directed work.
Designed specifically for children aged 8 to 12, these summer schools cater to a developmental stage where curiosity and creativity flourish. Participants are encouraged to explore their interests in entrepreneurship in a supportive environment. The curriculum is tailored to engage this age group, ensuring that lessons are both accessible and challenging, fostering a genuine interest in business and innovation.
What sets these summer schools apart is their integration of Oxford’s rich academic heritage with a hands-on approach to entrepreneurship. While many summer programmes offer general academic enrichment, this initiative stands out by focusing specifically on entrepreneurial skills. The combination of expert instruction and a vibrant learning community provides a unique platform for young learners to cultivate their ideas and aspirations. This focus on entrepreneurship within the context of a renowned academic institution creates a distinctive environment that encourages exploration and innovation.
