“When I first got to ORA a i was really scared, but then it really succeeded on changing how I felt about it. I met amazing new friends that I’m still in contact with until now, I even discovered my passion for creative writing that I didn’t know existed until after I graduated from ORA. It was truly an amazing experience that I would love to relive. The staff and counselors really made a difference at ORA due to their kindness and positive personality and I came home feeling achieved. There were so many different people with different backgrounds and it was so much fun getting know different cultures and also finding some people with the same culture as mine! I would definitely recommend ORA to anyone who wants to find out what they want to do in the future or try to start a new page by meeting different people and I hope I get to come back next year! And maybe even one day as a counselor too!”

“Oxford Royale Academy had an amazing environment. Not only were there an array of several subject choices, but the staff and students at ORA made these two weeks the best summer I could ask for. The teachers were amazing as they were considerate and really passionate about their students making our learning and understanding really easy and interesting.”

“ORA was a great experience that made me happy because it helped me think about my future career as an engineer and the field I would like to specialize in. It also helped me to know the reason why I chose it and how it can help the environment, African countries in development, my country and generally people in need. I also liked it because it was challenging because I have not covered most of the things we were doing while other students did, then I had to do my best to be part of the best. The challenge was achieved because I got an A* and next time I'll do better. In general I had a great time at ORA (Lady Margaret Hall) which I hope will happen again. Thank you for giving me this chance to learn by travelling.”
