Summer School Schedule
If you’ve been in previous years, you might notice some changes this time.

We’re beginning on Tuesday evening with a special dinner at Rhodes House. This will be a great time to meet the OCCA team and one another, to settle into Oxford and prepare ourselves for the week ahead.
It’s not an Oxford formal dinner, but we do want it to be very special, so do please dress smartly. But we’re aware that many of our guests are travelling and so will be limited in what clothing they can bring.
