Natural Sciences for Teens at Cambridge University

Natural Sciences for Teens at Cambridge University is a two-week summer programme run by Best Parents on the Cambridge campus for curious students aged 13to15. The course covers interconnected principles of physics, chemistry and biology with an emphasis on hands-on experiments, group projects and independent research.

Classes are small (maximum 8 students) to ensure personalised tuition and mentorship, and sessions include masterclasses on teamwork and 21st-century skills alongside academic lessons.

Students live and study in Cambridge colleges (Fitzwilliam, Murray Edwards, Gonville & Caius) for residential options or attend as day students. Residential tiers (Plus, Superior, Premier) offer differing accommodation and insurance levels; meals are provided on a full-board basis for boarding students.

The programme includes organised excursions (Westminster, British Museum, Canterbury, Greenwich, Warwick Castle, Tower of London, Portsmouth), scheduled Heathrow transfers on official days, and end-of-programme graduation with certificates and tutor recommendations. The course is designed to build subject knowledge, problem-solving skills and confidence in an academic setting.
