Course description

At Coast Education, we believe that excellence in academia should be rewarded and recognised. We strive to provide the highest standards in Education, and as such, we offer an Honorary Scholarship Programme to a few select students who can demonstrate ability in critical thinking and academic excellence. Honorary Scholars receive financial reductions in course fees of up to 10%, as well as holding the prestigious title of Honorary Scholar (HS). They will receive a certified reference at the end of the summer course confirming they have been a Scholar, which can be used for future school or university applications. Scholars will also receive a graduation certificate.

Our Oxford Summer Course provides high-achieving and ambitious 14 to 18 years old students from around the world with a transformative educational experience at a world-class university campus.

Our summer course allows students to gain first-hand experience on what studying a University course and pursuing a professional career will really be like.

Students can join each course for 1 week, 2 weeks or 3 weeks. And if they have multiple areas of interest, they can mix and match different courses for the duration of the programme. Non-residential options are also available for students.

School location

Our Intensive Revision & Exam Preparation Course gives students the opportunity to access timely individualised support. We provide a personalised study schedule for students to take full advantage of the last school break of this academic year to revise and prepare for their GCSE and A Level exams. Our course offers students the opportunity to practice past exam papers, join subject-focused drop-in sessions and improve their exam techniques during the fully supervised intensive revision course.

To ensure that time is used productively, drop-in sessions that focus on a variety of subjects including Maths, the Sciences and Humanities, as well as on exam techniques and study skills, are scheduled throughout the course. Students can join sessions according to their personalised schedule at no extra cost. Support is provided during self-study times and additional one-to-one mentoring is available upon request. Evening group activities provide a fun and collaborative element to the course; students are encouraged to join every night after dinner to relax and recover from their studies.

Our Belmont Campus is our 'Harry Potter' Campus. Set in a stunning 65 acres of woodland, the school is the old family home of the famous Waterhouse family, founders of PWC. The House boasts charm and beauty, with History throughout the building.

Facilities include a heated outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, volleyball courts, a full sized multi-purpose sports hall, an on-site Dining Hall, and top of the range classrooms.

This campus is truly magical, and it often fills up quickly due to its popular style.
