Exploring England
We offer more excursions than any other academic program in England. You will visit London, Stonehenge, Bath, Broughton Castle, and then London again!
Oxford Adventures
You will have the freedom to choose an option from our jam-packed activities calendar or spend time in town with your friends. Play in a “footie” match, attend high tea, visit a museum and watch a Shakespeare performance – all in the same day.
Experience That Counts
At Summerfuel we are particularly proud of our 30 years of experience and our extraordinary program directors, staff and faculty. We believe that strong, nurturing and experienced leadership sets the tone for a successful program. Our senior staff members often return year after year and both they and the Resident Advisors go through a rigorous selection process and pre-program orientation.
Senior Staff
The Senior Staff is comprised of 2 Co-Directors, a Dean of Students, an Academic Director, an Activities Director, and a Student Services Coordinator. Our Co-Director, Paul Saville, has led the Oxford Experience program for over 20 years. He is an Oxford professor and artist and resides in the city year-round. The second Co-Director, Emily Osborne, has been with Summerfuel for 6 years and works as a high school teacher during the academic year.
Resident Advisors (RAs)
RAs are an essential part of the Summerfuel experience and are hired solely to support and act as role models to our students. RAs are college upperclassmen or recent graduates with experience in residential life. They live on each floor, with one RA for every ten students. RAs will always be available to organize activities, provide tours around Oxford, answer questions and make sure our students get the most out of their summer.
Safety & Supervision
The safety, security, and overall well-being of our students is our utmost priority.
- 1 to 8 student to residential staff ratio
- 24 hour security with a team of porters on staff at Lady Margaret Hall
- Electronic key pass required for entry into residence hall buildings
- 11pm daily curfew
- Zero tolerance for drug or alcohol use
