Oxford Academia invites intellectually driven high school students to challenge themselves at some of the world’s most prestigious universities—Oxford University, The American University of Paris, and Yale University. These unrivaled programs are designed in collaboration with Professor James Basker, a Barnard College/Columbia University professor and Rhodes Scholar. Professor Basker brings to Oxford Academia his 35+ years of experience introducing high school students to the wonders of learning at Oxford, as well as his relationships with outstanding faculty, including Rhodes, Marshall, Gates, and British Academy scholars, and inspiring individuals with teaching posts at Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, and other top institutions.

Students choose an academic major and minor, pursue subjects in the company of motivated peers, and engage with course material under the guidance of distinguished faculty, developing crucial skills to help them excel in future studies, and fostering lifelong friendships along the way.
