Summer Springboard invites ambitious high school students to join us for a two-week SUMMER program At Oxford, where they will be hosted at St. Stephen’s House, a graduate College.
Students will dive deep into a specific subject area with creative, dynamic instructors, engaging professors and professional experts.
Made up of 39 colleges, and six Permanent Private Halls, the University of Oxford is the oldest English-speaking university in the world. Summer Springboard students will have the opportunity to live and study in Oxford, which was ranked first in the world from 2017-2022 in the Times Higher Education World Ranking.
