Summary

The John Locke Institute’s Oxford Philosophy Summer School offers an intellectually stimulating and enriching experience for young students aged 16-19. This program encompasses three distinct summer schools: Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE), History, Politics & Law (HPL), and the Foundation Certificate. Regardless of the chosen academic path, the Institute’s philosophy remains the same: to gather the brightest young minds from around the world and engage them with thought-provoking professors who encourage critical thinking, intellectual humility, and effective communication. These summer schools focus on honing intellectual skills rather than merely conveying facts, aiming to transform participants into more sophisticated thinkers with enhanced flexibility and open-mindedness. Whether delving into the multifaceted realms of PPE, exploring the intersections of history, politics, and law, or pursuing a comprehensive foundation in philosophy, politics, economics, and history, students can expect a profound intellectual journey. Accommodation, meals, and various activities are provided, along with access to campus sports facilities and personal laundry service. The program includes excursions to explore the historic city of Oxford, immersing students in its rich academic tradition and inspiring them to aspire to higher standards of intellectual growth and exploration.
