Official summer schools for high school students (aged 16-18) run by Oxford University
Saïd Business School, Oxford University’s prestigious faculty of business and management, partners with Spark To Connect to deliver transformational educational experiences for ambitious teenagers aged 15-18. These official University of Oxford summer academies combine the academic excellence of the #1 university in the world with innovative, hands-on learning methodologies designed by education experts.
The partnership offers two flagship programs: the Oxford Saïd Teen Technology and Innovation Summer Academy and the Oxford Saïd Teen Leadership Summer Academy. Both 14-day intensive programs take place in authentic University of Oxford college settings, where students live and study alongside peers from around the globe while being taught by university tutors, alumni, and industry experts.
Spark To Connect’s mission to create unique, hands-on learning experiences that connect theory with practice perfectly complements Saïd Business School’s commitment to developing future leaders. Together, they foster leadership development, cross-cultural understanding, and professional growth through project-based learning, real-world problem-solving, and immersive Oxford traditions.
Students are housed in traditional Oxford University college accommodation, staying in the same historic settings where Prime Ministers, Nobel laureates, and distinguished alumni once lived and studied. The accommodation provides single bedrooms within authentic college buildings, offering students a genuine taste of Oxford University student life. Located at Wadham Dorothy Building in central Oxford, students experience the collegiate atmosphere that defines Oxford education. The accommodation includes access to traditional College Hall dining facilities for meals, creating an immersive university experience. All residential arrangements maintain separate sleeping facilities for different genders and provide 24/7 supervision with comprehensive pastoral care, ensuring a safe and supportive environment that allows students to focus on their transformational learning journey while building lifelong international friendships.
