New York, August 2026 - Atlas Summer Courses today announced its new name and identity, marking the next chapter for the academic summer programme formerly known as Oxford Summer Courses. The name has changed. The experience families trust has not.
Since 2010, the programme has given ambitious students the chance to study in small classes with expert tutors at extraordinary university settings across the UK. That experience continues in full under the Atlas Summer Courses name, with programmes running this summer in Oxford, Cambridge, and Harrow as usual.
Families can expect the same small classes, the same expert tutors, and the same academic rigour that first earned the programme its reputation, now under a name built for the next stage of its growth.
What's changing, and what isn't
- The programmes, locations, tutors, and academic standards remain the same.
- The website, branding, and materials will transition to Atlas Summer Courses over the coming weeks.
- Families with existing bookings do not need to take any action.
- Enquiries and applications continue to be handled by the same team.
Atlas Summer Courses will continue to welcome students aged 9–24 to study a wide range of subjects in small, tutor-led classes, building on the same academic model that has defined the programme since its founding.
