Science Explorers Summer Programme For Pre-teens At Oxford

Science and Maths are two subjects which are essential if one needs to learn about technology. And since we live in a world where technology runs every aspect of our lives, and careers in tech are becoming the norm, it is only wise that young students are given the opportunity to learn these two subjects in depth.

You can offer a wonderful opportunity to your child by choosing a week-long summer programme that can satiate young science enthusiasts. World's oldest and most renowned university - Oxford, is offering capsule summer programmes in various subjects for children as young as nine years old, to even those who have completed their undergraduate studies.

Earlier we had given information about business and entrepreneurship courses and summer courses in engineering for high school students. Here we’re talking about the science programmes for pre teens. Choose your favourite!

What is the programme all about?

A pre-teen is aware that everything around us is made up of cells, genes, atoms and molecules, including ourselves. But do you want to go beyond just knowing the basics? In this week long programme Juniors Oxonians can experience student life at Oxford, learn their favourite subject from expert tutors and of course interact, network and become a part of a thriving global academic community.

The Junior Summer Courses is a part of the Oxford Summer School where they offer modules designed specifically for learners aged 10-12 years. In this science programme your child will learn the fundamentals of science covering physics, chemistry, biology along with human anatomy and anatomical structures. The learners in the programme will be able to observe and experiment using state of art facilities provided by Oxford.

Teaching Methodology

If you’re wondering that Oxford will be a bit too much for a 9-10 year old then worry not. The sessions for this course are immersive, yes, but it is all designed keeping in mind the age group the tutors are teaching. There will be interactive discussions and task based learning that will work on enhancing the knowledge your child already has and will add on to the vastness and the depth of the subject. Through games, presentations, group work and project work your smart kids will become even smarter as they inch from classroom academics to real life focus

On Campus Boarding and Meals

Right from living on campus at boarding schools that promise a novel experience, to exploring the campus grounds and library halls, students will have an access to it all. All students signing up for the programme have exciting possibilities in front of them. You can opt for your child to live in a private room or a shared room. Don’t worry about safety as the Oxford Summer School team assigned to this programme will ensure your ward is housed at a boarding school which is allocated to the Junior Summer School specifically. So they will be surrounded by other international students of their age. School staff will be available at all times to solve any queries or attend to any needs of the students.

Programme fees include boarding and meals costs. On an assigned day of the week, students can experience the all formal dinner with their fellow batchmates.

Off campus learning and experiences.

All work and no play of course will make this absolutely thrilling experience into a damper. And to make the most of it, the course is designed to give the students a taste of British history and entertainment. During their stay, when not in class or completing assignments, students will visit Warwick Castle, Tower of London and of course the Harry Potter studios.

Experiencing things first hand is priceless and so is this opportunity.
