The Reach Team visit Jordan

After a great visit to Istanbul the Reach Cambridge world tour continued eastwards into Jordan, where we caught the ends of a snowstorm that had swept through Turkey and across the Middle East. Luckily the weather didn’t cause any disruption to the school visits during our time in Amman, and we managed to visit many…

Student Gerald looks forward to Reach Cambridge summer school 2015

I am delighted to be attending the Reach Cambridge Program in July. The subject I applied and was accepted for is Physics & Engineering, which is one of my favorite subjects, but I’m looking forward to being challenged on another level.

The Reach Team visit South East Asia

Last summer, students from over 45 different countries joined our summer programs. For many, it was the first time visiting the UK, an entirely new place with different food, different shops, different time zone, different architecture, a different climate… But for everyone, though it can all seem quite alien at first, by the end of…

With cutting-edge businesses, world-class shopping malls and an incredibly high-performing education system, Singapore is always an interesting place to visit. I went to Singapore with Jenny, Reach’s…

Day 19: The Bronte Parsonage Museum from a student’s perspective, Hwa Chong Institution, Singapore

Bacon and eggs again. Later, an olde house upon a recluse hillside a galaxy away. Well, at least the air is warm with the glorious blaze of the sun. Across the globe however, the same flame-ball never fails to set alight my country Singapore. Seems like today is a miraculous, even mix of invisible snow…

Day 18: Psychology student from Catholic Junior College, Singapore

I wanted to attend the psychology course provided by REACH Cambridge because psychology as a career path has been something I’ve been toying around with in my head for quite a while, even though I knew close to nothing about it. In fact, it might have been my utter ignorance of the field which drove…
