Our values

SCIO’s mission is to foster scholarly engagement, intellectual excellence, and authentic Christian spirituality and the connections between them within an international academic community at Oxford.

SCIO strives to do this by

• Helping students drawn largely from CCCU colleges realise their academic and personal potential at Oxford, at graduate or professional school, and throughout life
• Encouraging high quality research on the part of its staff and faculty from CCCU colleges as individuals and as members of research programmes based at SCIO
• Cultivating a community of alumni who support each other and SCIO’s mission
• Enabling its staff to develop professionally and flourish personally
