Summer Schools for Curious Minds

Fun and challenging Summer Schools for students aged 11-18. Whatever your interests, from Philosophy to Physics, our courses focus on developing intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and the desire and ability to pursue ideas independently.

What makes our Summer Schools unique?

Debate Chamber Summer Schools are perfect for those keen to take the initiative and get a head start in their chosen field!

Whatever the subject, from Medicine to Mathematics, students will have the opportunity to really test their academic mettle, develop their intellectual curiousity, and meet new friends who share their interests and ambitions.

From mock trials and UN summits, to moon landings and deep space missions, we use interactive and experience-based learning to help bring the material alive for students. This signature blend of engaging practical activities and challenging academic content means that students connect with the course content in a way that is exciting and memorable.

Our extraordinary team of tutors are selected for their exceptional communication skills, charismatic and inspiring classroom presence, and very strong subject knowledge. Their role is to energise and inspire future scholars, and to offer clarity and guidance for the path ahead.

Working in small groups offers participants a real chance to get to know tutors and fellow students, and to receive lots of individual feedback and advice.
