The Oxford Summer Academy - an academic and cultural program in Oxford, England, for high-school students

The Oxford Summer Academy is held at St Edmund Hall - "the oldest academical society for the education of undergraduates" (A. B. Emden) in any University.

Accommodation is in twin, study-bedrooms. Single rooms may be available on request. Please ask!

Each room has hot and cold running water and a shaving socket. As is usual in UK university accommodation, there are shared bathrooms on each floor.

Breakfast and dinner are taken in the college dining hall. Dinner each day is a “formal” - an Oxford university term. Students are waited-on at refectory-style tables; dress should be smart!

There are laundry facilities within the college. Internet access is available in rooms. Each study-bedroom has a phone which can directly receive incoming calls. Outgoing calls can be made on a card system.

Students may study in the college library, the converted Norman church of St-Peter-in-the-East in the college grounds.

St Edmund Hall is surrounded by medieval walls, areas of which are the ancient city walls, complete with stone staircases and slits through which arrows were fired to repel intruders!

The porters’ lodge is at the entrance of the college. There are staff on duty 24 hours a day.

In addition, Oxford Summer Academy staff are in residence with the students, thus ensuring a safe and secure environment for participants.
