Our extracurricular program maintains a healthy balance between study and leisure time that allows students to relax and unwind.
To that end, the Activities Directors organize a full daily program of elective social events and sports. These typically include punting on the Cam, Cherwell, or Thames rivers, dances, hikes in the countryside, soccer, tennis, cricket, chess and board game tournaments, as well as plenty of time for fun, relaxation, sightseeing, and socializing with new friends.
All of these activities provide our students with unparalleled exposure to the many resources of Cambridge and Oxford. In addition, they help students to make friends and discover shared interests that settle them swiftly into their new surroundings. This level of familiarity and bonding helps create the warm, welcoming community within each program. The certainty that they are in a secure and centrally located environment, as well as part of a supportive peer group, encourages our students to open their minds to the enriching personal and intellectual challenges that our programs present to them.
