At The Oxford Exchange, we believe that an elite intensive residential experience (in addition to a student’s regular year school work) is the key to unlocking your true potential. We designed this leadership programme for future female leaders aged 16 and over.

Through classes, seminars and individual tutorials held at University College in the magical university city of Oxford, England, young female leaders will learn from university instructors, tutors, and mentors from Oxford University. The curriculum is designed to enhance each Athena Scholar’s ability to research, write, debate, and present her ideas effectively and persuasively.

Athenians will engage in courses taught at an undergraduate level including PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics), International Relations, Business Leadership, Research & Writing. The Oxford Exchange hire think tank researchers and experts to conduct special seminars on Religion & Global Politics, Global Health & Medicine, New Technologies (Space Diplomacy taught by a former NASA Official), Natural Resource Management and GIS, and other key topics.

At The Oxford Exchange, we believe that everyone has the potential to learn and grow, regardless of his or her background or experience. We are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment where all students can thrive and achieve their goals.

APPLICATIONS: We operate on a rolling admissions basis, and provide feedback within 1-5 days and offers of admission. We will accept applications (Statement of Interest + Essay) until our cohort is full. We highly encourage applicants to submit their applications as soon as possible as we anticipate that we will be full by March 2024.

Greetings!

As the days grow longer and we start to shed our sweater layers in Vermont, I instinctively know the busy gap year season is upon me.

It is most common for seniors to officially decide to take gap time between March-June, and there is still plenty of time to plan a meaningful year. Please get in touch if I can be of help to your students as they navigate these decisions. See some resources below to help!

Warmly, Julia

It’s that time when your students search for summer programs that tap into their interests and begin the next chapter in their lives of aligning them with their future career goals.

At Boston University Summer Journalism Academy (BUSJ), students not only have an opportunity to have award-winning working journalists, they also have the chance to experience Boston University and the city of Boston.

For 15 years, Boston University College of Communication has offered this program to teach high school students in-person and virtually core skills in news reporting, interviewing, and writing, focusing on hands-on experience in and around Boston and their home communities.

Our photojournalism program taught by former Boston Globe photographer, Steve Haines, prepares students, like Taylor Coester  (a BUSJ alum and now a BU student), to work alongside journalists in capturing the best photo for their stories. Parents and students enjoy hearing that no third-party vendors are involved, and they can experience an authentic pre-college experience at a college on their list.

For students living on-campus, they have the opportunity to:

  • Meet with a Boston University’s representative to discuss the college admissions process
  • Explore what it’s like living in a residence hall and studying in a university environment
  • Experience Boston museums, historical sites, and neighborhoods during their free time

Students decide if they would like to attend our program in-person or virtually. Our three-week on-campus session starts June 26. Our two-week virtual sessions begin June 19, July 3, and July 17.

If you have a student who wants a real college experience this summer and wants to pursue a communication degree, encourage them to learn more by visiting www.summerjournalism.org and applying soon, as limited seats are available for our in-person and virtual sessions.
