Prague Summer School
Join us in Prague for an immersive and inspiring summer learning experience unlike any other.
Summer School in Prague
Join us this summer for an academically rigorous programme in the heart of Prague, modelled on the tutorial-style teaching of Oxford and Cambridge. Led by Joshua, a lecturer from St Paul’s School, students will engage critically with Philosophy, Theology, and Politics through close reading, structured argument, and intensive seminar discussion — while also exploring Prague’s historic streets, cultural landmarks, and a carefully curated programme of social and cultural activities.

Guiding Minds: Our Summer School Team
Dr. Joshua Duclos is an exceptionally accomplished philosopher and educator, ideally placed to lead our summer course. He is the 1923 Chair of Humanities at St. Paul’s School, where he teaches philosophy and humanities and brings deep intellectual engagement to every discussion. Dr. Duclos holds a PhD in philosophy from Boston University, and has previously been a Fulbright scholar to the Czech Republic, giving him first-hand experience of Prague and familiarity with its culture and language. He is the author of the acclaimed book Wilderness, Morality, and Value, and has published widely in moral, political, and environmental philosophy, making him uniquely suited to guide students through the rich and challenging subjects of Philosophy, Theology, and Politics with clarity and insight.




Dr. Luke Martin is an experienced teacher of theology and humanities at Eton College, holding a PhD from the University of Oxford. He is renowned for inspiring students to think critically, engage with challenging ideas, and articulate their arguments with clarity. With extensive experience guiding young minds through complex questions in ethics, belief, and society, Luke brings both academic excellence and genuine enthusiasm to the programme, making him the ideal overseer for students exploring Philosophy, Theology, and Politics in Prague.
