Oxbridge Academic Programs facilitates two well-established, academically rigorous summer programs for advanced secondary school students in Oxford. These are The Oxford Tradition in Corpus Christi and Pembroke Colleges, and The Oxford Prep in Oriel College. Together these programs bring over 500 of the best secondary school students from around the world to Oxford for a month of academic study and intellectual pursuit. During summer 2014, students from over 70 countries were enrolled on these programs.
Oxbridge Academic Programs is seeking motivated, innovative, and creative teachers and administrators for these programs. Applicants for teaching posts should be well-qualified graduates who either have obtained, or are working towards, an appropriate postgraduate qualification (MPhil, MSc, MBA, DPhil). A wide variety of courses is offered, including courses in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and the creative arts. Program administration positions are open to current undergraduates and include Program Assistants and Activities Directors.
