Welcome to our programme for the brightest and most creative young people aged 7 upwards

 

This unique programme of e-learning master-classes and digital reading labs, offers you the rare opportunity to work with Oxford University and Warwick University academics and with other bright young students from around the world, in an intellectual community unavailable anywhere else.

We welcome young people from all around the world, to join together online with other well-motivated students and with University academics, in a lively intellectual community, participating in a programme of online activities designed to stimulate, challenge and motivate very able young people.

This is the gateway to improving your self-confidence, independent learning, strategic thinking, creativity and problem solving. We will raise your academic expectations and develop your intellectual capacity by providing long-term projects, challenging holiday courses and short master-classes.

We are searching for the brightest students across the globe - those who are well-motivated, with a thirst for learning.
