What students are saying

Jason, Hong Kong

Oxford was the best summer camp I have ever attended. Not only did I learn a lot through the course, but I also met people from all over the world. In addition, I really got to know my fellow students and the counselors through the time we spent together on the excursions and evening activities. Overall, this was an awesome experience and I would recommend it to pretty much anyone.

Aaron, USA

I had an amazing time at Oxford. Every student was incredibly friendly and smart, and I had a wonderful time getting to know each and every person. My time there flew by and by the time it was time to leave I couldn’t believe I was leaving my new friends. I highly recommend the programme as an opportunity to make friends and learn about other cultures.

Zsanka, Sweden

I have had an incredibly fun, cultivating experience at Oxford Summer Schools. I have gained so much knowledge that will help me with studies and in life. I have also met the most incredibly intelligent people. The memories I have made here will stay with me for life as I am so happy to have stayed in Oxford.
