Our Story

At OxBright, our mission is to give students the edge to help them succeed, find their purpose and make a difference in the world.

Born from an observation that students who are certain of their future career direction are more likely to become successful, motivated, happy adults – and that too many students leave school and university uncertain of what they could or should do next – OxBright exists to give students the tools to make informed decisions about their futures.

With over ten years’ experience of running academic summer programmes for teenagers, we’ve honed our online courses and internships to give students a truly outstanding summer experience.

Our Worldview

What a time to be alive.

We’re living in a time of unmatched possibilities and opportunities.

With established norms of society, technology, education and work upended every few years, the rate of change can feel overwhelming – especially for young people.

However, at OxBright, we believe that the rate of change brings exciting opportunities, as well as challenges, and we exist to help students to make the most of these opportunities rather than feeling daunted by them.

We believe:

1. Active thinking is more valuable than passive thinking
2. Collaboration for the good of the community is more valuable than independent progress
3. Long-term thinking is more valuable than short-term thinking

By inspiring and empowering young people to think critically, and giving them the skills to seize these opportunities, OxBright equips young people to thrive in a changing world.

At OxBright, we give students the tools, community, inspiration and motivation to achieve ambitious goals and to approach the future with confidence rather than trepidation.
