The City of Dreaming Spires

The city of Oxford is more than just a place to stay - living here is an opportunity to gain independence, meet like-minded students and make lasting memories.

Live and study in an Oxford University college, your home for the summer. Please note that, while we use Oxford University facilities, we are separate from the University.

Immerse yourself in history: some accommodation dates back as far as 1282, while other buildings are in Oxford's ancient Castle Quarter, which was founded in 1071 during the reign of William the Conqueror.

Centrally-located accommodation provides easy access to Oxford’s cafes, shops and culture.

All accommodation buildings have welcoming common rooms and social spaces where you can spend time with your new friends.

Pastoral Care

A Secure and Supportive Environment

As a family-run summer school, ensuring students are well looked after is our top priority.

Each student is supported by a dedicated Head of House and a team of Activities Coordinators who are available 24/7 to provide pastoral care and assistance.

An experienced Matron (a staff member responsible for student health and wellbeing) is on hand at each campus for medical needs, emergencies or general wellbeing.

Students are housed in secure buildings, with rooms allocated by age and sex.

Where You'll Stay

You'll live in a typical Oxford University bedroom (occupied by university undergraduates in term time). You'll be assigned a room in one of the following campuses.

St Anne's College

College Campus

St Anne’s College, University of Oxford, sits opposite the Radcliffe Observatory, the university’s iconic observatory from the 18th century.

St Anne’s is one of the largest University of Oxford colleges and has a fascinating history. Founded in 1879 as an affordable way for women to obtain a degree during the Victorian era, it has always been a home for innovation.

The college blends historic charm with modern amenities, offering comfortable rooms and common room space for you to socialise with fellow students.

HERTFORD COLLEGE

College Campus

Hertford College, University of Oxford, was founded in 1282. It sits in the heart of the city and is home to the famous Bridge of Sighs, which links two parts of the college over New College Lane.

Hertford has a rich and distinctive history, growing from medieval Hart Hall into a college known for its welcoming atmosphere.

The college combines historic architecture with well-equipped rooms, shared facilities and common areas where you can relax, connect and feel part of Oxford Scholastica life.

St Peter's College

St George's Gate

St George’s Gate, part of Oxford University’s St Peter’s College, sits beside Quaking Bridge and overlooks the remains of Oxford’s original medieval wall.

Adjacent to the historic Oxford Castle, it features an entrance courtyard and a picturesque view of the Castle Mill Stream, a branch of the River Thames.

Along with our accommodation at St Thomas’ and Paradise Street, St George’s Gate is one of St Peter’s College’s annexe accommodations, home to second- and third-year undergraduates during term time.

St Peter's College

St Thomas'

St Thomas’ is part of St Peter’s College, the youngest Oxford College within the old city boundaries.

Students at St Peter’s, known as ‘Peterites’, include notable alumni such as Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada; Edward Akufo-Addo, former President of Ghana; and Reverend Wilbert Vere Awdry, creator of Thomas the Tank Engine.

St Peter's College

Paradise Street

Our Paradise Street building is also owned by Oxford University’s St Peter’s College and is situated on a historic street in central Oxford, next to the listed Swan Bridge over the Castle Mill Stream.

Positioned right next door to the famous Oxford Castle, and within a few minutes’ walk of the city centre, the building offers single bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a study area for students to complete work set by their tutors.

Corpus Christi College

Lampl Building

The Lampl Building is an annexe of Corpus Christi College, one of Oxford’s oldest colleges, founded in 1517. One of its earliest members contributed to the translation of the King James Bible in 1611.

During term time, Lampl houses second- and third-year Oxford undergraduates. It is located near the historic Oxford Castle, which played a role in the English Civil War and later served as the city’s prison until its closure in 1996. Today, the castle has been transformed into a stylish hotel.

Please note, the Oxford Scholastica Academy contracts with St Peter's, Corpus Christi, St Anne's and Hertford Colleges for the use of their facilities but we have no formal connection with the University of Oxford. You can read more about our relationship with Oxford here.

Room Types

When you register, you’ll choose either a standard or en-suite room and we’ll allocate your accommodation accordingly. If you’re attending with a friend or family member and wish to stay in the same building, we’re happy to arrange this.

En-Suite Bedroom

En-suite rooms include a standard single bed, desk, wardrobe and a private bathroom with a shower, basin and toilet.

By default, these rooms are single occupancy, but we also offer a limited number of twin en-suite rooms for students who prefer to share. You can indicate interest in a twin en-suite when submitting your Student Information Form after booking.

Standard Bedroom

Standard rooms are equipped with a washbasin, wardrobe and desk. Bathrooms are shared, typically between two to three students on the same corridor.

If you’ve booked a standard room, you may be allocated either a standard single (private room with shared bathroom) or a standard twin (shared room for two students with a shared bathroom).
