Experience life and learning at one of England’s most prestigious schools
Our summer courses for ambitious students aged 10-17, based at the historic Winchester College. With a 600-year tradition of academic excellence, students on the summer programme will engage in enriching classes where original thinking is encouraged, broadening their horizons under the expert guidance of Winchester teachers (or ‘dons’) alongside peers from around the world.
Our Summer Courses
Students can choose between three courses, each designed to inspire growth and help them achieve their personal goals.
CATALYST Foundations
(Ages 10-13)
CATALYST Foundations is a two-week academic adventure designed to spark curiosity, build confidence and encourage students to see the world from different perspectives. Through thought-provoking questions, practical challenges and collaborative projects, students explore ideas across technology, science, society, culture and creativity.
CATALYST Horizons
(Ages 14-17)
CATALYST Horizons is a two-week intellectual experience for students ready to question, explore and think for themselves. Exploring the challenges shaping their generation through science, AI, philosophy and economics, students encounter ideas that rarely fit neatly into one subject - and learn to look at them from different perspectives.
English Language Coaching
Focused, personalised English tuition designed to build fluency, confidence and communication skills, combining structured coaching with the enrichment of life on Winchester College's historic campus.
“Our programme will empower you to think with agility and empathy, hallmarks of the Wykehamist tradition, while forging lasting connections with both peers and mentors. You will discover not only new ideas and skills, but also the confidence to engage meaningfully with complex challenges.”
