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.

Outside of their time in Oxford, students will have the opportunity to spend a day in London touring the most iconic sites, from watching the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, to Hyde Park and Notting Hill, to Camden Market and the London Eye.
