Junior Summer Courses (10-12 and 13-16)

Our exceptional junior summer courses are held at Rye St. Antony School (location map), only a ten minute bus ride away from both St. Clare's main site and Oxford city centre, during the months of July and August. The school and its grounds are enclosed by a secure perimeter wall, making it safe for your children.

The junior summer courses fall into two age groups: young juniors age 10-12 and juniors age 13-16. This allows us to tailor classes, activities and accommodation to the children's needs. Our teachers are selected for their experience with the age group and their expertise in teaching. Students are carefully supervised and our high ratio of staff to students (1:6) ensures that the welfare of the students is secure. All courses offer an excellent balance between classroom-based study and exciting action-packed activities.
