Program 1: Explorer 2017 – Day 5

You’d be forgiven for thinking the Reach Cambridge team looked a little bit smarter than usual today… Normally we are used to pulling off a mixture of sports kits, loose summer trousers and orange T-shirts in the knowledge that we will be on our feet for most of the day. Today, however, there was lipstick…

Program 1: Explorer 2017 – Day 1

Today was our first full day of the Reach Program – and we had so much fun! The day began with a lovely breakfast in the fancy college dining halls. Students then were able to explore their subject in the first classes of the program. From psychology to economics, the students spent the morning doing…

What Makes Reach Cambridge Unique?

As a centre of learning and excellence, populated by fascinating academics and beautiful historical buildings, it’s no wonder that Cambridge is a popular destination for international summer schools. Because of this, a question we are often asked is: What makes Reach Cambridge unique? As we prepare to meet our first cohort of students next week,…

‘Reach Cambridge was definitely one of the best decisions I have made’ – Hadiya, 15

We were delighted to catch up with one of our first ever alumni from the Reach Cambridge SPRING Program, Hadiya. In this short blog, Hadiya tells us about her favourite memories from her time at Reach Cambridge and why she would recommend a Reach Cambridge experience to everyone! My name is Hadiya, I’m 15 years old…

Spring Program: Day 12

No visit to the UK would be complete without a trip to London! First stop of the day was the Houses of Parliament. The students had a guided tour around the corridors and chambers where UK policy is discussed and made. We hope the trip has inspired them for their debate in the Cambridge Union chambers tomorrow! From…

Spring Program: Day 11

Another amazing day in Cambridge for all of us! The morning started off with a scrumptious traditional cooked breakfast at Cote Brasserie followed by a great Community Outreach session run by Katie from Sabre (http://sabretrust.org/) a charity dedicated to building a brighter future for school children in Ghana. We have worked with Sabre for many…

Spring Program: Day 10

Today was the ‘subject-specific’ day in Reach Hall, where students were divided up according to the subjects they elected to study during their time with us. For some of the students, this was their second full day immersing themselves in their subjects. For those who joined us on Saturday, this was their first experience of…

Spring Program: Day 9

What a glorious day it has been! Spring is in full bloom and the atmosphere in Cambridge has been magical. We started our day with breakfast in Reach Hall. We then all walked into town to begin our Treasure Hunt. We split into 4 groups, Red, Yellow, Blue & Green. We were all given a…

Spring Program: Day 7

How is it the end of Week 1 already?! It was yet another jam-packed day for the Reach Spring students; and, for some of them, their last day on the Reach Spring program. The day’s classes were on the theme of ethical leadership. In the morning, the students considered the interplay between ethics

Spring Program: Day 6

We started our day by walking down to Côte Brasserie on Bridge Street, a local restaurant for a delicious Full English breakfast. Leaving with very full tummies, we headed back to Reach Hall, where our very own Director of Curriculum Monika gave students a very important lesson on interview techniques. This included the opportunity to practise honing their own…
