At Summer Boarding Courses, we believe that learning should be
fun, exciting, and full of new experiences. Our programmes help
students grow in condence, discover new interests, and make friends
from around the world. Every course is carefully planned to be safe,
supportive, and unforgettable.
Choosing the right summer school for your child is an important
decision. We want to make this decision simple, positive, and full of
opportunities.
Since 2008, more than 20,000 students from 155 countries have joined
SBC at our schools across the UK. Every year, we see how learning
together helps young people open their minds, build friendships, and
create memories that last a lifetime. It’s this mix of cultures, ideas, and
laughter that makes our summer experiences so special.
This year, we are proud to introduce the SBC Pathway, a clear
journey that supports your child’s growth at every stage. From the
rst adventures away from home in our Explorer Programmes, to
the collaboration and creativity of our Adventure Programmes, to
our College Pathways that prepare older students for university
and beyond - each step helps students become more condent,
independent, and ready for the future.
Every part of our pathway has a clear purpose. We want every
student to feel valued, inspired, and supported as they grow not just
academically, but as kind, condent global citizens.
Our mission is simple: to unite the cultures of the world through
education. We hope every child who joins us leaves with stronger
academic skills, wonderful friendships, and a better understanding
of the world. At SBC, learning is about more than lessons - it’s about

A Typical Day
07.30 – 08.45
Wake Up & Breakfast
The day begins with breakfast in the college dining
halls. College mentors are on hand to sign students
in before students sit down to a healthy rst meal of
the day with their friends.
08.45 – 09.00
Morning Assembly
Students then make the short walk from their
accommodation across Oxford in time for the
morning assembly. Here, students nd out from the
College Principal what is happening that day, as well
as inspiring them with a Thought of the Day.
09.00 – 10.30
Academic Programme
Whether Business, Medicine, Law, or Global
Leadership, the rst lesson of the day is a practical
and engaging seminar, where students are
introduced to a university-style of teaching and
learning.
10:30 – 10:45
Break
10.45 – 12.15
Time to Shine Project
Now, students work in small groups on projects linked
to their academic subject, preparing presentations
to showcase at the end of the week. These sessions
give students a taste of university-style group
projects and self-guided learning.
12.15 – 13.45
Lunch
At lunch, students sign out from the college and get
lunch in Oxford with their friends, whilst enjoying a
sense of independence to explore the city.
13.45 – 16.30
Industry Experience
Wednesday afternoons oer students a real insight
into their future careers. Depending on their subject,
students take part in a mock trial, a medical
simulation, or an investment banking challenge -
experiences that help them see how their learning
connects to the world beyond.
16.30 – 18.00
Free Time
After lessons, students can relax in college or sign
out to explore Oxford in small groups — perhaps
browsing the shops, visiting a cafe, or simply enjoying
what Oxford has to oer.
18.00 – 22.00
Evenings at Oxford College
After dinner, evenings are all about connection and
creativity. On Societies Evenings, students can join
activities that match their interests - such as sport,
photography, debate, or arts and crafts - while
Campus Evenings bring everyone together for larger
events and creative challenges, like the Trashion
Show. These moments help students unwind, make
friends, and build condence outside the classroom.
22.00
Lights Out
After an evening of fun, students return to their
accommodation to relax and prepare for the next
day. College Mentors are always nearby, creating a
safe and supportive environment as everyone settles
in for a well-earned rest.
