AN IMMERSIVE digital summer programme has been launched by a Winchester college - and it will see its lessons on 'change' delivered around the world.
Winchester College has announced the launch of ‘Catalyst’, which takes place from July 18 to 29.
It said: "The course is for ambitious and curious students entering, or currently in, the sixth form. Catalyst is a novel, selective course for no more than 30 students who want to thrive in a world of rapid change.
"The course is built around the topic of ‘change’, helping students to develop the mindset and hard skills needed to understand, analyse, and catalyse change in the world. Catalyst will draw on ‘Div’ - a unique, interdisciplinary course that all Winchester College pupils take, aimed at challenging them to change not only what they know about the world, but how they think."
Catalyst has been developed, and will be delivered by, a team of Winchester College teachers, together with a panel of experts from fields as diverse as polar ecology, theoretical physics, and the special forces.
The course will offer a range of live, interactive lessons, online seminars, roundtable sessions, as well as one-to-one coaching to help students set and realise their own goals.
Fellow at Winchester College and former High Mistress of St Paul’s Girls School, Ms Clarissa Farr said: “We’re delighted to be able to extend our unique form of learning online to a global audience.
"Never has there been a more important time for students to be able to think and act across disciplines – to adapt and problem solve as the world around them changes. It is exactly these skills that position students to enter, thrive at, and excel after university."
Early applications received before April 18 will qualify for discounted fees of £2,200 (which will be £2,700 for applications received on or after April 18).
