Students are required to take short exams, known as School Centred Invigilated Tests or SCITs, in each A-level subject on a regular basis. Together with other forms of assessment, these short exams help students and teachers identify areas that need further support. This process enables students to prepare for exams through efficient and targeted study.

Learning at OIC doesn’t stop when lessons end. Our dedicated team members are here to provide academic guidance outside of regular class hours. They are on hand to answer your questions, help you prepare for exams, and overcome any challenges.

BY ENGAGING IN SUPERCURRICULAR PURSUITS, YOU ARE DEVELOPING YOUR ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES BY GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CONVENTIONAL CLASSROOM
SYLLABUS
JASON BROOKS, DIRECTOR OF SUPERCURRICULAR
BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
SUPERCURRICULAR
Our trailblazing Supercurricular department develops students’ career-focused skills, preparing them for lifelong success.
At OIC, the Supercurricular department equips students for future success by deepening subject knowledge. We encourage our students to engage in diverse programmes, competitions and awards as well as clubs and societies. In this way, OIC students develop a growth mindset, building confidence and resilience as they embrace challenges and new experiences. Accompanied by our expert guidance and university counselling support, students are provided with everything they need to succeed throughout the university application process and beyond. Specialised Oxbridge mentoring is also included through our Oxford Mentor Programme and tailored pathways for students applying to overseas universities.
OXFORD MENTOR PROGRAMME
Our Oxford Mentor Programme is designed to prepare students for their chosen career and to guide them through to successful university applications. The programme is delivered by mentors who are currently undergraduate, postgraduate or doctorate students at the University of Oxford. The programme consists of aptitude test preparation required to gain entry to certain degree courses and a bridging programme to widen students’ knowledge of their chosen career path in the fields of medicine, science, economics, engineering and law.
GOODWILL AMBASSADOR PROGRAMME
Each summer, students can also participate in the Goodwill Ambassador Programme in Malaysia. Participating students gain real-life exposure to their future degree subject by shadowing doctors, scientists, dentists, lawyers, engineers and other professionals.
EXTENDED PROJECT QUALIFICATION
After the first term, students may take the Extended Project Qualification, which allows them to research a specific topic of interest beyond the A-level syllabus. The EPQ is highly recommended for students applying to top universities as it demonstrates a motivation to pursue further study in the student’s chosen subject and provides an impressive talking point in the personal statement and interviews.
NORD FAMILY COLLABORATIONS
MIT COLLABORATION
The MIT-Nord Anglia STEAM programme develops our students’ problem-solving skills through real-world challenges that get them thinking outside the box. Our global programme inspires students to look beyond individual subjects, sparking their curiosity through our hands-on interdisciplinary approach to problemsolving. Guided by the world’s leading STEAM institution, our students take part in challenges and visit MIT on a trip led by experts from the university. Our collaboration also gives our teachers the opportunity to learn from specialists in the world of STEAM, resulting in cutting-edge lessons that inspire our students in the future.
TOGETHER WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND
SUPERCURRICULAR VS EXTRACURRICULAR
The term “extracurricular” encompasses all activities students may do outside of the classroom – sports, charity work or creative pursuits. “Supercurricular” refers to career-oriented activities such as degree-related guest lectures, work experience or competitions.
Performing well in subject exams and building extensive classroom knowledge is essential; fostering a sense of academic passion and aspiration towards university subjects and possible future careers is equally important. The term “extracurricular” is used as a broad reflection of activities outside of the classroom. On the other hand, “Supercurricular” refers to the targeted, career-oriented activities that enable students to
become motivated and independent learners. At OIC, we want to maintain a purposeful environment to nurture academic passion and self-discovery.
The Supercurricular department is guided by two underpinning principles: (1) to develop well-rounded individuals by offering opportunities to build upon personal skills and experiences; (2) to enable students to be as competitive as possible when applying to top universities. Individualised 1:1 sessions and Career Meetings are cornerstones of this mission. Students receive tailored support based on their academic discipline and goals. As a result, our students enter the university admissions process with not only strong grades but also a tangible appreciation and understanding of their future subject and career plans.
In addition to offering students a wide array of clubs and societies, we also customise innovative programmes to enhance the student experience. Examples include workshops on the growth mindset, essay writing masterclasses, networking sessions and university preparation activities.

WELCOME FROM OUR HEAD OF BOARDING
“Boarding with us at OIC is an extraordinary experience, offering unique opportunities for a wide range of boarding trips and activities throughout Oxford, as well as in-house activities and special celebratory occasions. We strive to build an inclusive home for our students, and we encourage them to share their thoughts and insights into boarding life so we can continually look at ways to maintain that special OIC boarding experience.
The Boarding Houses are also home to our resident House Parents (including myself as the Head of Boarding). Together, we work to foster an environment of support to ease students throughout their time with us.
There’s a lot to take in when you first start boarding, particularly if you’re coming to a new country. Our dedicated staff and returning students have developed a programme to mentor and support new students and to help them settle into boarding at OIC and life in Oxford.”
