Our students all live, learn, dine, think, and play in an Oxford college. To study at Oxford a student must gain acceptance to a college (each of which is unique) as well as acceptance into a specific Oxford University department.
I had the best experience of my life having classes with you, every day learning something new and in different ways. Thank you so much for all you taught me!

About the Oxford IQ Preparatory Academy
Our History
Founded in 2002 by Oxford alumni, the UK nonprofit organisation began as a research institution and a think tank. Due to our thought leadership in studying education systems, many universities and training institutions began to hire us to teach specialised courses at schools, universities, and government training institutions. World leaders and governments hired us to advise them on governance best practices and establishing new school systems or universities.
In 2021, we began offering online courses and residential Oxford summer courses. The courses are designed to accelerate a student's progress in school and position them for gaining entrance to top universities in the world through our pre-university preparatory courses.
WE ARE A NONPROFIT ORGANISATION: This means that we are not as expensive as other summer programme providers, nor are we driven by making money. We are driven by our mission to EDUCATE, EMPOWER, and CONNECT our student clients.

Prepare for University
Oxford IQ Prep - We design and conduct two-week residential experiences in Oxford, and online tutorials and proper courses for serious pre-university students seeking entrance to Ivy League universities or Oxford University and Cambridge University.
Two-Week Residential Courses in an Oxford College (during the summer):
- One-to-One Tutorials: Each student is assigned to an Oxford Tutor and is expected to complete an individual research project.
- University-Style Lectures: Students learn together from prominant professors and experts in subjects.
- Postgraduate Seminars: Students experience what it is like to be a graduate student, and will be expected to participate in group activities.
- Study Trips: We lead our students on a trip to London to experience key sites such as Parliament, the British Museum, and Lloyd's of London.
- College Life: All students live in an Oxford College and experience life as Oxford University students, Fellows and staff.
- Sports and Recreation: It's not all work at Oxford IQ Academy - we want our students to enjoy down-time. Our Oxford Mentors (all are students at Oxford) lead student activites.
