Our Summer Courses
Students can choose between two courses, each designed to inspire growth and help them achieve their personal goals.
CATALYST
This course is designed for students who want to think about the challenges defining their generation, with a focus on science, AI, philosophy and economics. CATALYST is an intellectually stretching course that prepares students for academic debate, problem-solving, and independent thinking at the highest level.
English Language Coaching
English Language Coaching at Winchester will enhance students’ ability to communicate confidently in English by focusing on practical language skills, taking part in interviews, presentations, research projects, and debates on some of the critical topics shaping today’s world.
“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”
Ms. Elizabeth Stone, Headmaster, Winchester College
