Oxford Summer Courses, a Bridgemark company, supports ambitious young people to find their own path. Our tailored learning journeys nurture independence and critical thinking as part of an inclusive community. Offering over 40 subjects for ages 9-24, our summer courses are hosted in university colleges and boarding schools in historic cities like Oxford and Cambridge.
Facilities
Junior Summer Schools accommodations, including Harrow School and St John’s Beaumont, feature shared facilities, crafting a dynamic and supportive environment that enhances the social and learning experience. Students studying in the UK during their summer school, experience a real university or boarding school lifestyle by staying in historic buildings and locations with Oxford Summer Courses. The UK has only recently started experiencing extreme temperatures in the summer, and some of these historic sites are not equipped with air conditioners for students living on-site during their summer school. Some classrooms are only air-conditioned, depending on location.
Accommodation
Whether you’re joining OSC in Oxford or Cambridge, your accommodation will reflect the rich heritage and unique atmosphere of these esteemed university cities. For junior summer courses, your accommodation will be in leading boarding schools, providing a safe and nurturing environment for young learners. Please note that room types may vary by venue and age group.
All bedrooms on our courses come equipped with a bed, desk, and storage for your clothes. Standard rooms provide shared access to bathrooms, with no more than four students sharing. Opting for an en-suite room ensures you have a private bathroom attached to your bedroom.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are provided on-site for 9–12-year-olds. 13–15-year-olds enjoy inclusive breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with dinner at local restaurants or provided by the college. For 16-17- and 18–24-year-olds, breakfast and dinner are provided. Lunch is not included, but the on-course team recommends local eateries for exploration.
