I had the best experience of my life

I had the best experience of my life. For two weeks, I had a chance to learn and explore amazing knowledge by a very kind tutor. Besides the classes, the friendship I had during two weeks, all the great activities and relevant stuff made my experience much more amazing. I recommend it to everyone who is willing to go and see Oxford's fascinating atmosphere with a very informative course.

Better equipment and space for certain subjects

The best part about the experience was that the staff and the learning accommodation were good. I felt that the team was doing their best to take care of me and everybody else at the experience, but at the location were I stayed didn't have some of the proper equipment and learning accommodation to do science experiments, like a lab. At least to compensate we got to do Blooket in the last 2 sessions of the week.

Oxford Summer Courses – Winchester Juniors

I had what was probably the best week of my life at the Winchester Juniors Oxford Summer Course, all the students were kind and welcoming and I easily made friends who I am still in contact with. The tutors were really knowledgeable and passionate about their subject, and made the lessons engaging and challenging while interesting and fun at the same time. The house parents and staff were all really caring and friendly from the moment I met them. Tom and Phillip were some of the best course directors I’ve met and they were really helpful and made all the activities fun and enjoyable but still ensuring our behavior was safe, while taking an enormous amount of photos of us and replying to anxious parents’ messages. The campus was absolutely beautiful and we had many chances to explore the area. The environment was relaxed and friendly though rules were set in place, and I look forward to returning again. I definitely recommend this camp to anyone who wishes to have a wider global mindset, meet a supportive community of fellow students and staff, and to have enriching academic and social experiences.

The curriculum was a balanced mix of academic enrichment and engaging activities, with attentive instructors who fostered creativity and collaboration. They successfully combined learning and fun, motivating my child to explore new subjects with enthusiasm. Communication with parents was smooth, and the staff's passion and care created a supportive and enriching environment.In conclusion, the Winchester summer school offered a well-rounded experience that exceeded our expectations. My child came away with new knowledge, skills, and friendships, and a renewed excitement for learning. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to any family looking for an unforgettable summer experience for their child.

An Unforgettable Experience in Winchester

Our newly minted 10 yr old attended the Winchester Science camp for a week. This week has left a lasting impression on him - a perfect blend of scientific exploration and outdoor adventure.He enjoyed the course content which covered a wide range of topics across all sciences and every day, he discovered and learnt something new. From the get go, the students developed great camaraderie with fellow students as well as instructors/house parents. Tom and Philip were excellent in providing updates to the parents. Their detailed mails at the end of the day coupled with a few photos during the day allayed any anxiety we may have had at drop off. Our child came back inspired and happy and is already saving up for the next one!
