New Oxford Collegiate Academy utilizes small-group mentorship, Socratic discussion, debate, and access to college professors and industry experts to bring the academic strength of the Oxford tutorial system to Catholic secondary education.  We do this as an educational service to Christian families from a variety of faith traditions, in the comfort of their own homes.

We combine Socratic discussions with Oxford’s tutorial approach because this allows us to adapt instruction uniquely to each student’s individual needs.  This allows us to move beyond the mere “delivery of information” to a true apprenticeship in thinking, fostering true mastery of each subject.

The tutorial system is a rare and historically-proven teaching model, still in use only at Oxford and Cambridge.  Tutorial-style instruction offers students the opportunity to be mentored by expert teachers—in the Oxford way—by engaging and learning in a rigorous yet conversational setting.
