Immerse Education Timeline
During his time at the University of Oxford, Sean Stevens, the founder of Immerse Education, felt a profound calling to craft inspirational and effective educational experiences for students worldwide. Witnessing a diverse mix of students drawn to Oxford’s age-old surroundings, Sean envisioned an educational model that artfully blends time-honoured traditions with modern pedagogical approaches, ensuring inclusivity for every learner, regardless of background or learning preference. While the idea of Immerse was born in Oxford, it was in Cambridge that Cambridge Immerse was formally established, laying the foundations for what would later become Immerse Education.

By 2016, Cambridge Immerse had grown significantly, attracting more students and expanding its academic offerings. To reflect this growth and its broader educational vision beyond Cambridge, Cambridge Immerse officially became Immerse Education. Bolstered by a robust team of educators and passionate professionals, Immerse has continued to refine its programmes, reaching more motivated young learners while maintaining its commitment to academic excellence and truly transformative educational experiences.

Immerse harmoniously blends holistic educational practices with cutting-edge technology. In 2020, we adapted our highly sought-after residential experiences to the online world. We now offer a distinctive digital experience, underpinned by our ethos of personalised learning designed to ensure the Immerse experience is accessible to all.
In 2022, we offered our first programmes delivered overseas, with our portfolio of inspiring locations now including Cambridge, Oxford, London, Boston, Sydney, San Francisco, Toronto, New York and Tokyo.

At Immerse, we appreciate that learning is a continuous journey. We remain steadfast in supporting our students through various stages – from secondary school transitions to university preparation and beyond.
Our portfolio spans programmes designed to prepare motivated participants for university with our academic pathways offering, as well as courses for learners keen to prepare for the world of work with career-oriented experiences. At the core of all of our programmes is the development of skills and in-depth knowledge and the opportunity to practice this in the context of the real world.
Join us at Immerse Education, where tradition meets innovation in delivering unparalleled educational experiences.
