Academic Insights

Academic Insights is a school-trusted residential summer programme designed to stretch and inspire academically ambitious students aged 13 to 18. Delivered in prestigious university settings including Oxford, Cambridge, Toronto, Sydney, Boston and Singapore, it provides a structured yet immersive introduction to undergraduate-level study.

Each subject is taught by expert tutors from top universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard. Students learn in small groups of no more than ten, with a syllabus tailored to deepen subject knowledge, encourage critical thinking, and build confidence in academic discussion.

In addition to classroom learning, students benefit from personalised one-to-one tutorials, written feedback, and access to further academic resources after the programme. The residential experience is enhanced by cultural activities such as formal dinners, excursions and mentor-led social events, all designed to help students grow personally as well as academically.

Academic Insights is ideal for schools seeking to offer high-impact enrichment and support for university readiness. Participants return with stronger academic skills, clearer subject focus and a better understanding of life at a top university.

Programme highlights

Evaluation, certificate & letter of recommendationOur tutors are committed to the academic development of every student. At the end of the programme, each participant receives individual written feedback that highlights their strengths, progress and areas for further exploration. Tutors also provide personalised reading suggestions to help students continue developing their subject knowledge. All students receive a certificate of completion. Those who demonstrate exceptional engagement and academic potential may also be awarded a letter of recommendation, which can be used to support future university or scholarship applications.

Dedicated mentorsEach student on our residential programmes joins a mentor group of up to ten participants, forming a close-knit support network for the duration of their stay. This group becomes their academic and social “family,” creating a sense of belonging from day one. Mentors are typically undergraduate students from the host university city, chosen for their academic strength, approachability and enthusiasm for working with younger learners. They accompany students throughout their daily schedule and act as a consistent point of contact for questions, encouragement and wellbeing. In addition to providing pastoral care, mentors offer informal academic support and help students reflect on their learning. This ensures every student feels confident navigating the programme and inspired about their academic future.

World-Class TutorsImmerse Education’s tutors are committed to supporting students’ academic growth and ambitions. Every subject is taught by experienced educators from leading institutions, including the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford and Ivy League universities. Our curriculum is thoughtfully developed to reflect university-level teaching while remaining accessible and engaging for students aged 13 to 18. Each session is designed not only to deepen subject understanding but to spark curiosity and build confidence ahead of higher education. All tutors are trained and certified in the Immerse Education Experiential Learning Framework, ensuring consistently high-quality teaching across every programme. This approach supports schools by reinforcing subject mastery, academic motivation, and independent learning.

Experiential learningExperiential learning is a core part of every Immerse Education programme. Students move beyond the classroom to apply subject knowledge in meaningful and practical ways. This deepens understanding and builds academic confidence. Examples include conducting dissections in medicine, building robotic arms in engineering, and presenting legal arguments in a simulated courtroom as part of the law programme. This active approach to learning complements school-based education by strengthening subject engagement, enhancing critical thinking, and preparing students for further academic challenges.

"The essay competition has had a tremendous impact on our female students to push their boundaries." - Deirde Weary, British Columbia Canadian International School, Egypt

"Immerse Education consistently provides an outstanding academic enrichment experience for students. The programs offer academic educational pathways within a small classroom setting aligned with cultural experiences to give students a global perspective. Some of these educational pathways concentrate on future career perspectives focusing on interdisciplinary opportunities including AI and virtual reality, social media, research, and entrepreneurial development just to name a few. I have seen firsthand how students explore subjects at a university level while developing leadership skills, critical thinking, and independence. Immerse Education gave me the opportunity as an educator to experience exactly what their programs offer their students - Learning, collaborating, and networking with peers from around the world while developing friendships that will last a lifetime." - Grisel Crespo, Chaminade Madonna College Prep

"Thank you for sharing these incredible opportunities with us. At Colegio Medianeira, we are constantly seeking ways to broaden our students' horizons and provide them with exceptional educational experiences. As part of our internationalization project, I have implemented a course called Write Minds. My goal is to offer them opportunities I wish I had access to during my teenage years, such as those provided by Immerse Education. One of the modules in this course specifically prepares students for the Immerse Education Essay Competition. I print and work through the materials provided (such as the Workbook) with my students to ensure they are well-prepared. We greatly appreciate the partnership with Immerse Education and look forward to continuing to provide our students with these valuable opportunities." - Ana Caroline Pereira, Colégio Nossa Senhora Medianeira
