Oxford Scholastica Academy Reviews

"Leonie had the most amazing time at the Oxford Scholastica Summer School! She joined the Business class and absolutely loved it \u2013 her teacher was inspiring and made the subject come alive. On top of that, she connected with so many wonderful classmates from around the world, building friendships she\u2019ll cherish. The experience has only deepened her passion for studying business at university, and she came home even more motivated about her future. As a bonus, she learned some extra life skills along the way\u2026 she even washed and folded her own clothes \u2013 a definite win for us parents \ud83e\udd23. We couldn\u2019t be happier with how enriching (and fun) this experience was for her! \r\n"

"Fantastic opportunity for my daughter! She really enjoyed the experience and has used the knowledge learned at Oxford in her classes back home and in her internship. Specifically, she used one of the class projects to craft a marketing strategy and pitch for her internship that was accepted by the company - truly impressive for a high school sophomore. She made several good friends from other countries and they still keep in touch. She also learned that she loved punting. All and all well worth it! "

"I attended Oxford Scholastica Summer School 2024 on the \"Experience Medicine\" Course as well as a recent Medicine Internship, and I had such an amazing time! I would 100% recommend this to everyone, as you are guaranteed to learn a lot, about medicine, culture, and independence.\r\n\r\nFirstly, I learned a lot in my classes. The tutor was extremely kind and explained all the knowledge and concepts in a way where there was an engaging learning environment. I was able to do some hands on learning, stay engaged, learn a lot of specialized information about Medicine, and even experience how medical worker work in a class where we went to a real hospital with real patients! I also really enjoyed the self study tasks, they challenged me not only on my knowledge, but also on my creativity in finding creative solutions for certain problems. I was also able to improve myself as a learner, thanks to various workshops we had about people, learning, and debate. I also learned how to write a professional article in the internship, which gave me a lot of important skill to use later down the line.\r\n\r\nSecondly, the experience also taught me how to live independently, and bond with those around me. I had some time to roam around the city as well as bond with the other students in my house. This taught me to rely on myself with tasks such as buying certain things I may need and managing money, as well as socializing with new people. I was able to make a lot of friends from both the internship and summer school that I still have, and I learned to motivate and depend on myself for my studies and also for general day to day life. There was evening a party on a yacht where we all bonded and had fun together! These skills will help me with living alone or with a roommate in college later, and gives me a great idea of that experience.\r\n\r\nLastly, I also got to learn a lot about the city of Oxford and the UK in general, due to the visits we made to various locations. As linked in the pictures below, I visited the city, and various different places such as Windsor Castle. I learned a lot about the history and culture of the city, which made me only love the city more. It also gave me a sense of open learning as every place we visited had so much to do and see, and we were able to check out whatever we were interested in. It was a great balance that was provided between studying and enjoying our course. \r\n\r\nOverall, this has been the been summer program I have ever had! I am 100% coming back the following year, and I am even bringing my friend along with me! If you are looking for an summer experience where you dive deep into a subject of your choice, learn about the college experience, and explore the unique city of Oxford as well as the special sights, then Oxford Scholastica is right for you!"

"Marisa and Erin didn't want to leave Oxford and cried when they had to depart from friends they made from all over the world. I was at first skeptical about the program, especially the cost. But it was well worth the money. Your program have really made an impact on both my girls. Thank you so much."

"It was an incredible experience. The classes where well taught and engaging; I truly felt I was learning a lot every class. The AC's where incredible, specially Katie, Eddie, Charlotte and Esther. The activities where so well structured and all fantastic."

"Best summer of my life. Class was so fun and I still learned. Homework never stressed me out. The ACs were the best. The experiences like going out in the city with my friends for lunch were also one of the best parts of this program. Loved every second of it. A great way to develop independence and also beautiful friendships."

"This is for sure the best summer camp I have been to! I've never seen such a well organised camp, where the time between free time and study time was divided to perfection. The activities were very fun, helping us to get to visit Oxford and lear more about it. The classes were interesting and intriguing, helping me to learn a lot of new things that for sure are going to help me with my future studies. The staff was amazing, being nice to everyone creating a connexion with all of the students and really helping us to orientate around the new city. I recommend this camp with all of my heart because I have never been so glad going to such a camp. Have fun!"
