Alejandro

"I never got the chance to properly thank you for the wonderful time I had in Boston. It was life changing to experience a completely new lifestyle, meet tons of fun people, and challenge myself to use my mind in ways I didn't think of."

"The program was both enriching and impactful. We had the opportunity to connect with people from all over the globe while gaining valuable insights into the business world and developing creative ideas. Beyond the learning experience, we also enjoyed exciting activities like punting and an escape room. It was a great mix of learning and making meaningful connections. Being part of this summer program was truly an unforgettable experience."

Jittu

"Studying at the University of Oxford in one of the most prestigious business schools in the world was an experience I will never forget. Every day was filled with such compelling topics, whether it was debating why social media was bad for teens or learning the ways AI has evolved. My overall highlight of the Saïd Summer Teen Academy was the sweet and meaningful friendships I made with people all over the world. Our accommodation felt like a family, and we connected extremely quickly."

"What a fantastic week I have had! From the amazing and memorable stay at St. Anne's to the unique experience at Saïd Business School, from the selection of fascinating and fun activities to the interesting and diverse lectures, from the welcoming and supportive staff and counsellors to the Oxford University lecturers. The most important thing is the unique friendships I made and the extraordinary memories I will cherish forever."
