Life-Changing Lessons from a Summer Program for High School Students: Nathan’s OSP Story

When searching for the best summer program for high school students, Canadian families often ask: “Will it be worth it?” At the Oxford Scholars Programme (OSP), we believe the right summer experience can be truly transformative. And for one Canadian student, it was exactly that. Meet Nathan—a bright young student from Canada who joined OSP in 2024 and walked away with far more than just academic knowledge.

Why Choose a Summer Program for High School Students Abroad?

In today’s competitive world, students need more than good grades. They need global exposure, confidence, and the ability to connect with diverse people. That’s where an international summer program for high school students like OSP comes in—especially for Canadian students looking to stand out.

At OSP, students live and study in Oxford, UK, participating in academic modules, workshops, and excursions that mimic university life. They don’t just learn facts—they explore ideas, pitch projects, and think critically. It’s more than a camp; it’s a launchpad for the future.

Nathan’s OSP Journey: From Canada to Oxford

Nathan, a high school student from Canada, chose the Engineering, Science & Technology module at OSP in 2024. Like many students, he arrived curious—but left inspired. Over two weeks, Nathan explored advanced engineering concepts, worked on a hands-on drone project, and bonded with peers from over 30 countries.

“Thank you OSP for the best two weeks of life. It’s been an honour getting to meet so many new people,” said Nathan, reflecting on his experience.

His transformation was not just academic. Nathan's parent shared:

"Thanks for running such a wonderful program! Nathan really enjoyed it. We also saw him grow, and he is more self-driven and eager to learn after the program."

That’s the kind of impact the Oxford Scholars Programme is proud to offer students across Canada and the world.
