Our summer programmes for older students (16+) are mainly held in the University of Oxford during July and August. This is a beautiful and memorable venue. There is a full leisure and excursions programme in addition to the opportunity to study English and a choice of over twenty other subjects.

We arrange a regular programme of cultural activities in the afternoons and evenings, and there is a full day weekend excursion each week.
