Situated just 50 miles north-east of London in the south-east of England, our spring and summer programs have multiple start dates for greater flexibility. Our unique and academically-rigorous courses help your child to enrich and expand their school curriculum while gaining an insight into life at one of the world's top universities.

"An amazing way to spend the summer – Seeing England while making new friends and lightening up next year’s academic load"

"The Reach Cambridge program provides a unique learning experience with small classes, great excursions and a taste of University life. It is one of the greatest summer programmes available."

"Reach was quite honestly one of the best experiences of my life"


Testimonials from Reach Cambridge Teachers:
"The Reach Cambridge programme offers a good deal more than many of the other programmes that exist during the summer.

We were really impressed with the amount of Supervision and the cultural activities…the Lectures that are offered in the evenings and the Excursions in particular set it apart from the other programmes that exist."

"This is the best summer programme I have ever seen. The range of experiences could never be achieved in a classroom. The students were able to experience, first hand, history, culture and fun in a supervised situation"

Reach Cambridge offers the opportunity to gain an invaluable academic experience through a spring or summer course in one of the top educational facilities in the world. 

As well as an unrivaled academic environment, students experience British culture in the stimulating and distinguished surroundings of the University City of Cambridge.

Our fun programs help to prepare students for university, and Reach Cambridge students are encouraged to fully immerse themselves in college life.

Reach Cambridge combines classes, lectures and workshops – often led by Cambridge academics – with a varied program of exciting activities and excursions across Britain.

Held in a number of the University’s historic colleges, our programs are tailored to the individual’s study needs and enriched by an organised extra-curricular program. Each course is specially designed to complement high school studies, whilst also offering a glimpse of University-style learning.
