Guest Post: University Advance Add-On

Today’s post was written by Emily, a Reach Cambridge supervisor veteran, who has led University Advance trips in previous summers. Whilst she studied at Cambridge, she hails from Oxford, which makes her a very balanced umpire in the faux-rivalry between the two old university cities… One of the many appealing features of Reach Cambridge is the…

Sabrina remembers her time at Reach in July 2014

In this week’s blog, Sabrina remembers her time during the Reach course in July 2014… Enjoy! Why not? That’s the question I asked myself before signing up for Reach Cambridge. After this three week experience, I’m glad that I asked. Each week has been filled with a balance of enriching education and fun activities. The wide variety…

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 16: Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick Castle

Hurricane Bertha may have greeted us with a fond good morning as the songbirds woke the students at the Reach Cambridge camp, but in typical British fashion we showed that a little rain was not going to be allowed to ruin the fun. So, as the rain lashed against the coach and we all attempted…

Day Nine: Brighton and Arrival Day

After a brilliant day in Ely yesterday, today was just as exciting as students from the Global Leaders Program headed south to Brighton! As we drove into Brighton on the bus, a wave of awe resounded throughout the bus as we passed the Royal Pavilion; an awesome palace that looks like it belongs in India…

Day Two: Hampton Court

The Global Leaders Program is a jam-packed, but very fun, week. The course is filled with activities, and on the first full day this included our first excursion.

The day started on the glum side with torrential rain, but by the time the coach pulled up on Exhibition Road it was glorious sunshine! The excursion began with visits to two of London’s most famous museums: the Science Museum,…
