Welcome to Invictus
Invictus is a transformative educational experience designed to instill lasting excellence in promising young students aged 11-18. The programme is based in the heart of the University of Oxford and provides students with individualised focus from expert faculty. Students also build key personality traits including Resilience, Curiosity, Leadership, Adaptability, Collaboration, and Teamwork.
What will you do at Invictus?
Over the duration of the programme, students receive world class coaching and tailored attention to their individual needs (with each student provided with their own academic and social development plan as well as reference letters). In addition to academic training, they engage in diverse, wholesome activities from excursions to dinner parties that nurture them in ways that extend beyond the classroom.
The Invictus bolt-on immersion week is offered as an option for students who would like to extend their stay in the UK and experience an additional week of specialised academic focus from two of the world’s top University’s (Cambridge University and Edinburgh University) and cultural awareness in Scotland.
Experiencing the UK outside of Oxfordshire is an important aspect for students to understand their options completely. We understand that all universities (and cities) have their own strengths, and experiencing the UK outside of Oxford, is an important piece of the puzzle for student to make important life choices. Moreover, understanding the historic reasons between England and Scotland and their impact on modern day politics and events is an invaluable part of becoming aware and relevant in the modern landscape.

Our Principles
We believe in an education that empowers and goes far and beyond exams and grades.
1. Education ≠ Books
We firmly believe that a truly enriching education transcends mere textbooks and factual knowledge. It encompasses the development of personal confidence, which arises from proficiency in a diverse array of skills and arts. These include not only physical pursuits like athletics but also social finesse, such as engaging in a range of activities and participating in healthy competition alongside peers from various cultural background.
2. One size doesn't fit all
We treat and focus on each student as an 'individual' with their own needs, personality and learning style. We keep our intake small and working groups even smaller, where each student has unlimited attention from our extraordinary coaches.
3. Inspiration breeds excellence
Motivation is everything. We expose students to experiences which inspire them to be their best selves and show resilience in the face of adversity.
4. Prepare students for a new world
We use a modern and relevant curriculum which not only equips students with the skill and knowledge to master academic foundations such as algebra but builds the awareness and confidence through a range of extra-curricular activities.
