We accept applications from students currently enrolled in grades 9 through 12 for the 2009/2010 academic year. Every year we have more applicants than there are places in the program so we urge you to apply as early as possible to avoid disappointment. If your completed application is postmarked on or before January 29, 2010 and you are accepted into the program, you are guaranteed a place in your first choice of Major and Minor class (subject to minimum enrollment limits). After that date, courses and the program fill on a strict first-come, first-served basis - and we continue to accept applications until the program is full.
The comprehensive fee for both programs is $7195 US. This fee includes: all tuition and instruction; accommodation; breakfast and dinner daily; transportation to and from the airport; all books and materials; guest presentations; workshops; field trips; and all cultural and social activities organized by the program, including sports, excursions, museum and gallery admissions, and theater tickets. It does not include airfare, lunch daily, or personal expenditures such as snacks, laundry, and souvenirs.
Students must be in grades 9-12 for the 2009-2010 academic year.
Rolling Admissions Policy.
We accept applications throughout the year until the programs are full.
Course Guarantee.
We recommend that students apply as early as possible. Students whose applications are postmarked on or before each program’s course guarantee date and who are accepted into the program will automatically receive their first choice of courses, subject to enrollment levels. The course guarantee date is January 29, 2010. After that date, courses and the program fill on a strict first-come, first-served basis.
Please note: This is not a final admission deadline. We accept applications as long as space is available.
Students who cannot be placed into their first choice of Major or Minor course will be automatically placed in their second or third choice, subject to the availability of that course, and also placed on the waiting-list for their first choice.
Admissions.
Decisions are made within 4 weeks of a completed application’s receipt. If wait-listed for a class, a student will be notified as soon as a space becomes available. Applicants are only considered for admission to a program once all of their necessary documentation is completed and received.
A completed application consists of four parts: a completed and signed application form, a deposit check, a copy of a transcript or most recent report card, and three copies of a personal statement. Students applying to take Immersion courses must also provide a recommendation letter from a language teacher and a writing sample in that language (see Section IV of the application).
If a class is cancelled due to low enrollment levels, students will be notified immediately and placed in their second choice. Students who wish to change courses may do so in writing only to our New York office before June 1, 2010.
Applications require a deposit check of $1050 US ($1175 US with Medical Emergency Cancellation Insurance), payable to Oxbridge Academic Programs. NOTE: Scholarship applicants are not required to send a deposit check as part of their separate application.
The balance of payment for tuition is due by April 1, 2010.
MEDICAL EMERGENCY CANCELLATION INSURANCE
Medical Emergency Cancellation Insurance is available for $125 US per application, to protect against unavoidable cancellations due to documented medical emergencies involving the student or immediate family members. This insurance can ONLY be purchased at the time of application and is not refundable.
The refund policy is as follows:
Payments, including the deposit, are refundable until April 1, 2010.

A small number of scholarships are awarded based on financial need and the student’s ability to contribute to the program in the broadest sense. Applicants can either contact our New York office directly to obtain a separate scholarship application form or download one from here. The standard application form should not be used in a scholarship application. Completed scholarship applications must be received in New York by March 5, 2010. Please ensure that you send your application early enough to allow time for delivery. Applications received after this date cannot be accepted regardless of postmark deadline.
We are happy to provide lists of students, their parents, and teachers in your area – perhaps even in your school – who are familiar with our programs. Just call us in New York for a list of references.
During the academic year, Professor Basker and other members of our staff make presentations at schools, conferences, and open houses throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, and South America. Please contact our office or click here for information regarding our schedule of school-based and public presentations. Please let us know if you would like to propose a visit to your school or community.
Full information on travel arrangements, packing lists, and other pertinent details are sent in the student’s acceptance packet. Once accepted, all supplemental information can also be viewed in the participants' section of our website.
