Oxford Royale Academy

“Its excellent for socializing, I’ve made many friends there and you learn efficiently because its is has a fun education system so the students don’t get bored”

“Everything is great, there is nothing to say.”

“I met a lot of new friends from all over the globe which was really cool and interesting. The lessons and teachers were also very good, the teachers were well educated and liked their subject and the lessons were fun.”

“The best moments i have ever experienced .”

“Its excellent for socializing, I’ve made many friends there and you learn efficiently because its is has a fun education system so the students don’t get bored”

“I really loved the ORA. My name is Cyrian and I was doing engineering preparation for two weeks at Balliol college. I’m in tears right now leaving all my friends because I started to get used to the people around me as well as my environment. I mean also the counselors and just to name a few...Hugo, Patrick, Enzo. They were really great and nicely welcomed me. I look forward to winning the scholarship next year as well. I loved it 100%”

“I enjoyed being at ORA so much! I made so many new friends and develeoped a lot of new skills that I can use at school and in the rest of my life. We had amazing opportunities and it was amazing. All the staff and teachers are amazing and now I have friends from all over the world!”

“It was fantastic!! Definitely the best part of my holiday!! I really liked the lessons, they were extremely useful and interesting. Moreover, the excursions we went on, both with my course and the whole college, were really exciting. My experience with ORA was just amazing.”

“Good education lovely teachers and lessons, camp experience side is less strong”

“Taking part in an Oxford Royale Academy course for the second time, I was 100% sure that my son would have an exceptional time during his stay. Furthermore, I find it admirable how the students manage to gain such a variety of knowledge from just 2 weeks of lessons. I highly recommend it to any mother.”

“oxford royale academy was an experience unforgettable and made me really consider applying there. It was fun and challenging, loved my teachers.”

“I'd say that the medical school preparation course was excellent. Although I wouldn't be applying to university till 2 years later, I find that this course helped me narrow down my choices on various things. All in all, I enjoyed it thoroughly.”

“Oxford royale was an excellent experience, for it helped me establish various bonds of different countries. In addition the courses were good; however, I think the grading system should be changed and be more systematic, unified and not judge-mental.”

“It was the best two weeks of my life. Getting all the awards during the graduation ceremony and receiving an A* for my final grade showed me my potential on an international level.”

“I really enjoyed the camp but I stayed for a month and the staffs in the second campus were really bad. The were so rude and made you feel bad.”

“The Oxford Royale Academy was an experience that I pursued more and more each day. One that was hard to embark on and yet harder to leave behind.I was humbled to be a part of this culturally diverse group of people and reinvigorated by the incredible customs and stories that we all brought to the table. Thank you (Oxford Royale Academy) for giving me the opportunity to grow as an individual and become a better person as a whole.”

“Its excellent for socializing, I’ve made many friends there and you learn efficiently because its is has a fun education system so the students don’t get bored”

“I really loved the campus and all the people there. The course I took was interesting and I had the opportunity to meet many new people. It was hard to leave and I’m glad I took this course.”

“Oxford Royale Academy was really fun and it made me happy as the lessons were really interesting and I was never bored during the lesson. In addition, we had many fun activities and the counsellors seemed happy to be with us they were not bored. They were willing to play and have fun with us. The most important though was that the kids were really nice and that we made lots of friends. I would definitely consider coming again! It was one of the best experiences in my life that I will never forget”

“Oxford Royale Academy was just as I had expected it. It not only provided a preview of university life and the law faculty, but also enabled thorough reflexion upon everything that surrounded us, from Oxford's beautiful historic architecture all the way to the international values that we all share as world citizens. Thus, I can only say that this two-week session was one of the greatest experiences in my life, as a student and as a future adult. We learn to respect each other, to work together and to live together. We come back to our home as a different person, and we realize to which extent we have evolved as human beings during our courses and interactive workshops. Our journey only starts now. Therefore, I strongly encourage every student wishing to broaden his/her point of view to participate to these marvelous programs. All hail Oxford Royale!”

“During my stay in Oxford I met a lot of people and got really well with and also I liked how it was organised”

“A once in a lifetime, quintessentially English (right down to the cream tea), experience this summer at Caire College in beautiful Cambridge. The timetable was very well structured and there was always a choice of interesting activities to participate in. Genuine attention to detail and to pupils' individual needs and personalities where possible, was a huge plus. Very professional and motivated staff who have a genuine understanding and interest in teenagers.Thank you.”

“The exposure to my dream career of becoming a doctor was at deep level. I learnt so many new topics and enjoyed the practical sessions when we disected a heart during the introduction to medicine course. I loved the free atmosphere present in the class, that made it easy to ask questions and alert the teacher if you wanted him to review a concept. I really enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and being able to learn new cultures and make new friends. Above all, I especially loved the scholarship scheme, of which I was a beneficiary, as it granted me, a girl from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the chance to experience student-life at one of the best Universities in the World.”

“Overall the campus administrators and counsellors were very organised and enthusiastic about what they were doing. The campus (St Hugh's) was absolutely brilliant. There aren't many negative things I can say about my experience at ORA.”

“It’s a really good place to know new friends all over the world, while learning one of your favorite subjects. Adding the exceptional environment and the kindness of the staff makes it unforgettable”

“It was such a great experience to do for my summer vacation. Everyone was very nice, i made new friends, and counselors were amazing!!! I loved them!! All the courses were great, teachers’ explanations were very clear and easy to understand. Im very thankful to Costa (sorry i dont know how to spell) and all the members in ORA. I hope I can see you again in 2020 :)”

“ORA gave me the opportunity to further explore the subject I want to learn in the future. I was able to make up my mind about what I wanted to be when I grew up. It also gave me the chance to meet many different people from around the world that have the same interests as me. These two weeks were busy filled with; fun excursions and activities, very interesting and eye opening lessons with great teachers and spending time with our newest friends. The counsellors helped us greatly and made this experience as fun and safe as it was. An experience I would recommend!”

“I loved my time at ORA”

“The lessons were great, as well as the food, staff and the newly met people, however the trip to New York could have been way better and interestingly organized.”

“The two weeks I spent in Balliol College doing an Oxford Royale Academy course were definitely memorable. I learnt a great deal, became friends with people from all around the world and got to discover Oxford, it was breathtaking.”

“Oxford Royale Academy made me more confident in my work than I had ever been. I made so many new and amazing friends from all over the world.”

“ORA was a very challenging but fun way to spend the summer. I learnt many things that will help me in the future, and things I won't learn at my own school! It was also an amazing way to make new friends from all around the world and learn about the different cultures. This has been one of my favorite summers because of this program!”

“the education was very good and interesting but the accomodation was horrible.8 persons for 1 shower and 5 persons for 1 toilet is not acceptable”

“The two weeks I spent a Jowett walk were the best two weeks of my life. New cultures, new personalities, new ideologies, all in one campus. I met people I never thought I needed in my life and learn new things about myself as well as broadened my horizons regarding subjects I had interests in. The teachers were so inviting, all the students were inquisitive which made classes more interactive and dynamic. The councillors were extremely helpful and always there for us when we needed them. Always there when we needed new ping-pong balls, when we needed someone to braid our hair, or just when we needed someone to talk to. The memories I’ve made at Jowett Walk are memories that will forever be engraved in my mind. Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience.”

“Great education and teachers, without forgetting the campus facilities which were first level. Very clean and neat, organisation has improved a lot since ORA 2016.”

“It was s nice course I improve my english lot and I learn many new things about oxford and it was a good experience to study hear”

“Good education but awful accommodation”

“ORA has been a unique,fascinating and new experience for me and hopefully all my fellow peers as well.It was great being able to get an insight on your subject and learn new, interesting things that you do not learn in school from people who love and have a scizling passion for it!The teaching program,councelors and environment definitely exceeded my expectations;and I am very happy and greatful that I got to live/see all of it!I would undoubtedly recommend this program to everyone.”

“I've met a lot of cool people from all around the world. It was a good chance to improve my English while also making new friends.It provides a good opportunity to strengthen your collage application.”

“I really enjoyed the time in Oxford and beeing there with so many people from many dirfferent countries. I enjoyed everything: the afternoon and evening excersices, Saturdays and Sundays, the morning lessons and afternoon workshops, the Sports Days, the Musicals and everyone was really kind, strict but kind ;-). I would recommend it to everyone who wants to improve his or her English or wants to do somethigelse (that ORA offer). I believe I'm going to do it again next year or after school (but longer than 4 weeks).”

“This past summer, my daughter had the incredible opportunity to attend the Oxford Royal Summer Course in Law and Politics, and the experience was nothing short of transformative.From the moment she arrived, it was clear that this was going to be a unique educational journey. The course was held in one of the historic colleges of Oxford, which provided a truly inspiring setting for learning. The faculty were exceptional, comprised of experienced professionals and academics who brought a wealth of knowledge and insight to the program. They were not only experts in their fields but also passionate educators who engaged the students in thought-provoking discussions and debates.The curriculum was well-structured, covering a wide range of topics in both law and politics, and it was designed to challenge the students intellectually while fostering a deep understanding of the subjects. My daughter particularly enjoyed the mock trials and debates, which allowed her to apply what she learned in a practical, hands-on way. These activities not only enhanced her critical thinking and public speaking skills but also instilled in her a greater sense of confidence.Beyond the academic aspect, the course provided an enriching cultural experience. The diverse group of students from all around the world made for a vibrant and dynamic learning environment. My daughter made friendships that I believe will last a lifetime, and she gained a broader perspective on global issues through her interactions with her peers.The program also included various excursions and social activities, which were well-organized and added an element of fun to the overall experience. These outings, combined with the intellectual rigor of the course, made for a well-rounded experience that balanced both learning and leisure.Overall, the Oxford Royal Summer Course in Law and Politics exceeded our expectations. It was an invaluable experience that has not only deepened my daughter’s understanding of law and politics but also ignited a passion for these fields. I would highly recommend this program to any student with a keen interest in these areas and a desire to experience life at one of the world’s most prestigious universities.”

“Best experience of my life, everybody was helpful, lessons were so interesting, thanks ORA”

“During the two weeks of the programme I felt very safe. The learning environment was mot only challenging, it was promoting ,and very pleasant. I enjoyed the activities and last but not least I met nice people and made new friends. I hope I can join the ora programme again next year.”

“I enjoyed every moment in ORA! Thank you for amazing 2 weeks. The only thing that I didn't like is food. Maby there should be more healthy and light food.”

“My daughter has attended 13 yo in Exploring business. She enjoyed the course in Cambridge. She could make new friends there as well. As a parent, I am glad sending her there from Japan.”

“Amazing experience for my son.He came back delighted, with so many new friends from all over the world, missing every minute he spent at St Hugh's.This positive life experience is a lot more than I expected. I chose O.R.A. because of the excellence of the teaching, the best environment to improve English in the best way possible, learning a subject matter, Film Academy, having so much fun. And there has been more to that: good vibes, family spirit, vast horizons and perspectives. So intense, so emotional. My boy will remember Oxford and the O.R.A. forever.”

“It was the best the best experience in my life. I made many friends , learned about my favorite subject and hot to explore the town of Oxford.”

“The Oxford Royale Academy was a really fantastic and unique experience. I greatly enjoyed my time at Oxford; classes were very interesting, and the experience of meeting new people from all over the globe was an experience I will never forget.”

“My daughter came extremely satisfied and happy back. Management, organisation and courses were great following her. Thank you.”

“Oxford summer school was one of the best experiences I’ve had in life, on the first day I was submissive and nervous but I got to make amazing friends which let me become more comfortable. From the counselors to the oxford environment, everything was great. would recommend to teenagers wanting to get out of their comfort zone and experience something extraordinarily!”

“Wow! I can't believe I got to be in such an amazing program. What I thought was going to be just a computer science course turned out to be such a challenging, exciting, and rewarding experience. I met many diverse and passionate people who really helped me grow as a person. Learning from my classmates' experiences in their home countries, working with them in class, and sharing stories.. it was all very insightful. As well, the staff were approachable and memorable. I found it quite useful to talk to them about my questions about university life and choices. They were also my friends- they gave me the push I needed to perform in the talent show (which I won!). I learned what I was capable of, both in school and singing.Whether it be the staff or students, I've made some great friends on this trip and they've enabled me to feel more confident in myself!”

“It was an amazing camp”

“I am very satisfied with Oxford Royale Summer School. The Queen’s College is stunning and historic, creating an excellent environment for students. The faculty are knowledgeable and genuinely care about their success, offering personalised support. Academically, the programmes are rigorous and prepare students well for their future careers. Additionally, the diversity of extracurricular activities provides opportunities for students to explore their interests and make lifelong friendships. I appreciate the strong sense of community and the focus on student well-being. Overall, Oxford Royale Summer School is a fantastic place for young adults to grow academically and personally.”

“My son came so happy after the summer school, he is not only delighted but missing every moment spent there. There is a nice change in his life.”

“During these 2 weeks, ORA made me happy in so many ways. To begin with, my neuroscience course was the most interesting course I ever took, I really enjoyed it, and enjoyed the instructor's way of teaching. Then, I really liked that there were always activities in stock for us that brought us (the students) closer together, made us try new things and allowed us to express ourselves: I liked the art session, the drumming session, the quiz night, the punting, the parties, the outdoor theatre, the insight masterclass (Stock market challenge), the Model United Nations and our excursion to London (the musical "The School of Rock" was amazing). (Also, having mini-foot tables and table tennis in the Marquee was a good idea). When it comes to the people at ORA, the counsellors were very helpful, very fun and friendly, and a lot of the students I met were amazing people, very open, interesting, talented and such good friends with whom I had a great time with! Another reason why I enjoyed my stay there so much was because we were given some freedom and were trusted. Plus, there was lots of beautiful nature in Oxford to explore and we were aloud to use the Music House on the Saint Catherine campus whenever we wanted; I loved spending time there with my friends.”

“I had an amazing time at ORA. Every student was incredibly friendly and smart and I had a wonderful time getting to know each and every person. My time at ORA flew by and by the time it was time to leave I couldn't believe I was leaving my new friends. I highly recommend the program as an opportunity to make friends and learn about other cultures.”

“It’s was a very nice experience for my daughter!She loved the camp & the crowd !Thk you ”

“Well actually I think that oxford royale academy was really nice but I always like to put some space for improvement...I believe that it would be a magical experience for the students if they had the chance to stay in “old-styled” rooms..before I entered my room I was expecting for a vintage Middle Ages styled room like those in Harry Potter’s movies...But then I saw the blue electric door and I understood straight away ...I mean it’s wasn’t bad ...but I think it would be a nice experience ...”

“I have met incredible people and have had the opportunity to grow as a person!”

“Oxford Royale was a great experience. It was not the best, but it was great. The food was amazingggg and most of the people were so friendly! The counsellors were just chill and they really looked after us. These two weeks of my life was the first time I've seen people from Lebanon, Greece, Africa, etc, and even though the session is over, I still keep in touch with them. If you want to have a non-bummer summer, then this is the right place to go. Thanks for everything, ORA! ????”

“Such an awesome experience. Ive learned so much in these two weeks and met so many interesting and wonderful people from all around the world. I would definitely recommend.”

“What an amazing experience.. we have made life long friends from all over the world. Definitely what you put into this course is what you get out of it. It was one of the best life time experiences possible both academically and socially. The Oxford Royals Academy is worth more than words can say and watch yourself grow both academically and socially!”

“Oxford royale managed to keep everyone safe, organised and most importantly with something to do. ORA was for sure and experience i will never forget.”

“I loved it here! I met people from around the world. It was enriching and so amazing!”

“My daughter was able to network with people around the world and has learnt the fundamentals of business and entrepreneurship through the programme”

“my best summer i've ever encounter. it was more about personal growth than the academic achievement. i met amazing people from all over the world. friends that will last for a life time hopefully. couldn't hold my tears when time to say goodbye had to come. felt like part of me will stay in that place and i'm going home with magical memories. thank you for such experience. every end is a new beginning. love you all.”

“ORA was everything that I hoped it would be, and offered more than I expected. I see now why the course is called 'Broadening Horizons' because ORA has changed my outlook and perspective, not only of the world around me, but of myself too. The international atmosphere that ORA provided was a fantastic opportunity to be exposed to culture, activities and excursions, and really gave me a broader understanding of what 'education' really means through a social and intellectually stimulating environment. I am a debater, and never so many times have I been in debates with peers and had to say, "Oh yes, you make a very good point. I stand corrected. You're absolutely right." The academic classes and workshop were absolutely first rate. The opportunity to engage with the class and ask questions was always at the forefront, and I really felt accepted and appreciated in the classroom. I learned things that I would never have otherwise got to learn about, such as Experimental Psychology, and Special Relativity. There is something amazing and unique about being surrounded by peers from completely different cultures, and discovering so much in common in terms of the way we think and approach problems and ideas, both inside the classroom and out. ORA did something dramatic for me emotionally: I have discovered the great chasm of difference that lies between 'being accepted and respected' for who I am, and 'being truly appreciated, supported, encouraged and loved' for who I am, and for what I have to offer, by students and staff in equal measure. I used to think of myself as a very self-confident person, but now I realise - others showing how much I am valued instils a new level of self-respect and shows me what I deserve. I am so grateful to ORA for completely transforming my social and personal perspectives.”

“It was a beautiful experience”

“My ORA experience definitely exceeded all my expectations! I loved everything, from the beautiful campus over the supportive teachers to the friends I made from all over the world!”

“This is the best summer I have been to, I have been to many summer schools but the academics and the teachers and the best, the councilors are friendly and really help full, the queens campus is beautiful and I will never have another experience like it”

“The best thing about ORA was meeting new people. Many of the friends I made at the course were even better than those back home! Even though there was quite a lot of work to do, I had a great time and learnt a lot of new things.”

“I really enjoyed the time I spent in ORA.The experiences you get and people you meet are extraordinary.The tuition is also meeting high standards and is alctually useful in the future.Other than that,the parties and other social activities were fun and I didn't feel over pressured with work.All in all,my experience was great and I would recommend it to everyone.”

“This was a fabulous program, and my daughter (16) enjoyed her experience and learned so much. I can highly recommend this program to other young adults.”

“Oxford Royale Academy was an amazing experience! In these two weeks I have learned a lot and met wonderful people. I am really looking forward coming back next year!”

“I've been to many places, academic purposes or not, but nowhere have I felt as at home and happy as I did at ORA. I loved the level of organization and at the same time freedom we've been given.I've felt independent and got a taste of what it would really feel like to be an actual student at Oxford.Not only do you have fun going ln trips and hanging out with your new friends, you also learn and discover things that will surely help you throughout your lifetime.You meet new cultures and people all around the globe, and the staff is really friendly. By the end of the course, I felt like I was a part of one big happy family.ORA helped me realize new things and what I potentially could do in future.It was the highlight of my year and one of the best 2 weeks in my life.I had my doubts whether or not to attend, but now I'm glad I did.I've met people that changed my life and that will forever remain in my heart, and gained experience that will do me much good in the future.It was a long way from home, but it was worth it.”

“I think that it was a great experience coming to the oxford royale academy. I have made some bonds that I will never forget. The stuff was quite caring and helped us in everything, the teachers were also quite smart who had lots of knowledge on the subject that they were teaching. I think that overall it was a great experience being a part of such a great community where people are willing to help each other and live like a family for two weeks.”

“What a wonderful experience for my son!! He not only learned about his potential future career but about himself.. the organization is very good, the quality of the teachers and the well round experience will have a long lasting effect in his life!! Thank you Oxford to take!!”

“I met some amazing people when I went to ORA and the staff were very friendly, there was a problem with getting the correct equipment for my course.”

“Everything”

“Before I went to Oxford I was so excited, knowing that it will be a great experience. When I was there I met many people, from different countries, and it was great knowing each one of them, because each acts in different ways, it was great meeting them all. Other than that, the parties were great, because kids from other colleges joined us, and we met even more people. It was a great experience, and a one that must be repeated!!!”

“A system that solves, brightens, offers a roadmap for the future and honors the student in a 2-week period. The feedback they give in this short period is incredible . Our first breakup. I was worried but he liked it so much that he said let's extend it. He wants 1 month next year. Even the university wants Yale. Our special gratitude and thanks to Danai, Larry, Chris, Spencer, Anastasia, Lannan, Darnell, Dora, Jordan and all of others. You left us wonderful memories. We hope to see you again.Best Regards, Derın & Sibel Oner from Turkey”

“It was the best 2 weeks of my life, I made so many amazing memories with life long friends. I was so sad when my ORA experience came to an end and I can’t wait to go again. I learnt so much this summer and now I have gained so much knowledge that I also have advantages in school, it was great to have gained the British education especially at The University of Oxford. Thank you so much ORA for truly making my summer so memorable”

“I was satisfied by the atmosphere in the class?.”

“Loved the teachers and classes, learnt from and enjoyed the classes much more than school at home. Made lifelong friends and had a great time”

“My daughter attended a 15 day program of Business, Enterpreneurhip and Innovation in Oxford. Academically it was a good experience and the social part was great meeting new friends from all over the world. However what somehow ruined my daughters stay was a 1st degree burn injury in her room in St Hughs campus, Oxford, as the heating units were not correctly regulated. She was taken to hospital. What was disappointing was the organizational part of the school as they didn't inform us about our daughters injury, nor her visit to the hospital or the outcome of the medical examination, although she is a minor(14yrs old). So this is our only negative comment, the lack of organization, safety measures and of a timely feedback. However the school apologized and promised the safety ofall kids would be their first duty.”

“This summer program was very educative and interesting. The staff members were really kind and helpful . I really enjoyed it.”

“Oxford Royale Academy is a gathering of all nations around the world, giving you the possibility to learn of these and the people you meet from them. It was so unbelievable much fun and I learnt more than I can say!The classes I took were really interesting as well and helped me decide on what subject to apply for in university. It also gave me a chance to experience how it is to live on a campus: it's great!All in all, this has probably been the best experience in my life!”

“It was nice to meet so many interesting people from all over the world with different point of views, cultures, way of thinking,etc. gathered at one place. It was also interesting how some of us have friends in common on the other side of the globe who aren't in ORA, it makes me realize that the world is small. We are all connected to each other in one way or the other. And I love the teachers, they make the classes interesting and worth attending.”

“First of all there were many activities which due to the rain were cancelled . I would expect that you must have alternative plans given that the rain is something quite common and the fees were including them..This is the most important complaint. Furthermore , although less important the quality of the food was rather below average.”

“The accommodations were comfortable. St.Peters College was right next to town so there were beautiful views from the room windows. Lessons were challenging but engaging. I felt like I learned so many valuable skills that I will use later on in life. Would really recommend to someone that wants to spend their summer productively.”

“Nice staff, well-planned activities and kind classmates.”

“it was easy to say, one of the most rewarding experiences in my young life. It helped me figure out more of what and where I want to study as well as that I want to become a counsellour mysefl when I am old enough in two years time. I will be recomending this to my friends and I would be coming back next year if it had not been for the fact that you need a one year waiting periode to become a counsellour!”

“My daughter had the most wonderful experience. She made a lot of friends, enjoyed the course and came home more mature and knowing that going to university was definitely a path she would like to follow.”

“Best summer school of ever”

“It was okay.”

“ORA was the best descion I've ever made! Along with academics it taught me responsibility and social skills; and most importantly it made me fall in love with the Oxford!”

“It was a great intercultural and educational experience, which could only be recommended to everyone. During my stay I had the chance to exchange ideas with students from all over the world, take part in different activities and learn more about leadership and my chosen educational field. A thing I would recommend to improve is firstly more guidance directly after the arrival. Secondly I suggest to commence the evening shouts as well as the room checks way earlier, as I was often very tired from the long days. Besides that, it was a unique experience and opportunity.”

“It was very fun and I learned way more then I would have in school. I recommend this to everyone”

“I made great friends and had the time of my life!”

“I think my favourite part from the summer camp was all the friends I made all over the world. Of course I loved all the activities and the courses as well.”

“I think my daughter had a good time. The evenings were very long, maybe it will be better to take the evening shouts a little bit earlier, also the room checks. She was very tired…”

“In these two weeks, you can meet people from all over the world. You can know lots of things about different countries and learn a lot from your classes. There are kind counselors and it offered many activities. It is definitely a memorable experience”

“Amazing experience ! Thank you for everything, they two weeks weee the two best if my life !”

“I had some of the best days of my life at ORA. The staff were very friendly, the activities were very nice and the teachers were very motivating. The course really helped me get a perspective of what university life in Oxford is actually like!”

“awesome experience for the last 2 years”

“On the first day, I arrived not knowing how I’d be able to survive with nobody I already knew by my side. But by that night, it was obvious that everyone was as eager to learn and make friends as I was. ORA has been so rewarding academically, as well as super fun... Shoutout to the friends I’ll treasure and miss forever. Y’all know who you are ;)”

“Full of fun, excitement and love, the techers and counsellor are really kind, so I never feel hesitate to ask them questions. On the other hand, ORA is a good platform to let me met new friends from different countries, and I can improve my English speaking and listening skills.The activities here are very new to me, they are all full of fun and excitement,such as punting and the zoolab.I really enjoy the stay there and I hope I can join the ORA 2018”

“I really enjoyed the time spent with everyone in yarn ton Manor, although it was a isolated place, it creates us an treasure island. The counsellors were friendly and helpful, I remember every evening shout with Danny, and every morning our House Dean wake me up. The classrooms are adorable, teachers had very high quality skills, and was willing to help us. I enjoyed all the parties there. This was a precious experience.”

“It was a very good college. The teacher were teaching very good. All were very kindly. But the beds and the rooms and bathroom were not so good.”

“Many nice people and interesting courses!”

“Mixed. Bad food. Nice teachers, counsellors. Classes are usually interesting Wish to have more free time or freedom to do things. Want to be more independent: allowing us to have the decision to go in a group or not. Best part: A LOT OF FRIENDS. Overall, I hope that ORA would be less stricter and have more free time. In the other hand, it's a good campus”

“This experience at Oxford Royale was life-changing. I met people coming from the whole world but we had so much in common even if we chose different programs. Everyone was really welcoming. It is a unique opportunity to seize.”

“Super fun. The classes were really nice.”

“It has been a wonderful two weeks both academically and socially. The courses were challenging yet very fun. At the same time, most of the learning came from the peers. Talking, debating, and learning about what was happening in different countries was an experience of a lifetime.”

“Hello my name is Ramin Afdjei. I spent two weeks at Oxford Royale Academy and took part in the Film Academy course. I had a great time learning about film making and creating it. These two weeks were instructive as well as entertaining. With this, I developped knowledge about film making. Many thanks to our teachers who organised this course!”

“My son Barimah was part of the 2024 Summer camp school. From all indications he had a great experience at Oxford. He’s made new friends from different countries,learnt new things and the 2 weeks spent away from home has made him very independent. Will not hesitate to recommend Oxford Royale to friends. Thank you.”

“Oxford Royale Academy is a great place to study in the summer. I took the Broadening Horizons program and studied at Queen's College -- the college is beautiful. You get the chance to take courses and participate in activities. This includes subjects such as Experimental Psycology and Contemporary History, and activities such as Ice Skating and Bouldering. There are many diverse peers for you to build friendships with and campus team members to guide you on your way and coordinate your activities and excursions. I will list 5 pros and 5 cons, but let me tell you that overall, the pros outweigh the cons.PROS1. Good food (they accommodate quite well to alternative diets such as vegan or gluten-free)2. Nice accommodations 3. Ideal location (a mall, several libraries, several museums, and quality cafes/restaurants were just a short walk away)4. Free time and activities (lots of time was given for exploring, completing assignments, and participating in optional activities)5. Many students/good social life (at almost any time, you could head over to the junior common room to talk to a friend, compete in a game of foozball, or play a game of chess)CONS1. Assignments (For my courses, I had 4 total assignments to complete. Although this may seem light for two weeks, it does take quite a bit of time away from socializing)2. Food (as previously mentioned, the food tasted good, but lunch and any snacks you might want throughout the day has to be purchased independently)3. The price (the cost for this program is quite high, considering it to be only two weeks, which makes it hard for some to attend. Thankfully, a few scholarships are given to deserving students)4. The Wifi (almost every time you want to use the wifi, you have to sign in again, which is tiresome to some students)5. The water (the water available to student is tap water, which is fine to drink, but if you only drink purifies water, you are going to have to get that yourself)• Hopefully my advice helps you in your decision making process. I highly enjoyed attending ORA, and I'm sure that you would too.”

“ORA was a great experience in meeting friends from all around the world, allowing us to share many of our different cultures and languages. The classes were also intriguing, where we could share anything that we thought and knew about the subjects. I would surely like to remember everything I learned from both friends and in classes, in the future.”

“Even though Engineering is not my favorite subject to study later in the future, the introduction to engineering course you offered me taugh me many things i didnt know about engineering which will help me decide what im gonna study in the future.The course wasnt only intresting, it was also fun and amazing, Thabks for this awesome experience!”

“Our son enjoyed his two weeks at Oxford Royale. He felt it was a very rewarding opportunity to connect, experience advanced academia in its true environment and push himself to achieve unknown potentials. Thank you”

“There is no other way I would have rather spent the summer than at ORA. Not only was my time here incredibly rewarding academically, but the friendships I've built for the past four weeks are bound to last a lifetime. I would highly recommend ORA for everyone and can only hope to come back very soon.”

“Good people at right place, very good "Introduction to Enterprise" group A teacher, Anuj Datta. I met people all around the world and made lots of friendships which will last for a long time, im sure about that.”

“The past 2 weeks were amazing and I have learned a lot about business and economics. The teachers were very good and the atmosphere of Oxford Royal academy overall was friendly and nice. I have met a lot of new people and I will remember this experience forever.”

“The counselors were so friendly. The lessons were interactive and very helpful”

“best two weeks ever! I made some really really good friends and had so much fun - I am really sad to leave.”

“For me it was an incredible experience and the holiday ever. I could see how does the life in Oxford looks like and I've met incredible people who have shown me how to look beyond stereotypes. I left Oxford with a lots of amazing friends, knowledge and amazing memories, that I'll never forget.”

“It was a very good experience. The campuses are very nice and relaxing. The counsollors are very friendly and make you feel at home”

“We are really plaased with my son's stay at Oxford University.The program met our expectations.Many students from all over the world, nice company with them.”

“The experience was great. I had a lot of fun and I spent a great moment with my friends. We did a lot of sorts of activities and the key was we enjoyed our self. But when it comes at the end it becomes sad and heart breaking.”

“I think that one of the things that i really enjoyed about ora were the classes and the staff. Through learning new things and getting a hands on experience of college, the classes made me happy. Also, the staff members were very nice and welcoming, which i also really enjoyed.”

“Literally the best experience of my life. Would definitely do it again for the same experience.”

“My Son Matthew, took one of Oxford Royale summer courses this year and enjoyed the best two weeks of his life. He took Business and Entrepenuership in Oxford at Keble College. The course and the learning, he told me was brilliant, but the whole arrangement of the two week on campus course with was a maturing experience. He wants to go back next year”

“I love here, Lady Margret Hall,Oxford. It’s my pleasure to have a such wonderful experience here with many fellow students around the world. It’s been my best time ever.”

“ORA was my first Summerschool experience and made me have much more fun working.”

“This was a good experience. Miles was a g bloke, with Martin making a surprise appearance after filming the kingsmen. Jamie went hard and so did Liam. Cheers for times :)”

“Good teachers. Good networking. Food good, but not offered on lunchesPoor quality of classrooms. Water tanks not filled up for 4 days.”

“Thanks you for such a good experience. I have never learn economic before but now I can know the basic theory of economic.I learn a lot of new things in Oxford and also make lots of new friends. The teachers are friendly. Thank u guys very much.”

“i had fun and stuff”

“I honestly really enjoyed my stay at Saint Catz Campus. My accomodation was great; always clean and cozy, and I had a lot of privacy (having my own keys!). At first I was afraid that I wouldn't make any friends there, the first few days. But as days past, I was able to find a bunch of friends (not necesarily from my country- Spain). But I met very exceptional and interesting people. The large campus enabled me to meet many strangers, that later on became my family for a week or so (that I'll keep on social media, and maybe even meet in the future). Also, the many activities programmed, helped me meet other people out of my circle of friends- even on the last day/night! Perhaps, at times, there were too many activities on campus that it made it hard to stay on track (which also ran out very quickly, eg. the Ghost Tour!). But thanks to the whiteboard on the Quad and the papers stuck on the front of my staircase every evening, I was well aware of them. An activity that annoyed me, was the trip to Bristol- it was way too time consuming (4 hours spent in the bus) and around two hours in Bristol, to visit the SS Britain and at a shopping centre and having 5 hours of free time when we came back! Also the outdated music of the parties! (but that didn't really bother me much, as I knew all lyrics!). The two weeks, literally flew- and I mean it. They passed at a blink of an eye! Maybe faster than the first one, though; as I got used to the programme and the ambiance. I find Oxford, very good for young people especially for aged 16-18; as many summer camps occur there, and you can meet many people out of Saint Catz. Some people complained that some classes (Maths/Psycology/Econ/Physics) were placed too far off our main campus, but I was alright with it. During those two weeks I got fitter almost every minute as we had to walk everywhere; for lunch, check-ins and programmed activities which I enjoyed. The lessons were interesting, and although when at times I had no clue of some material taught, I was able to find people who were in the same spot as me. Others, also complained of having too many essays for the last week- some even had to write two essays of around 1500w or many presentations, but on my opinion, this helped us to become more independent and guide us to the uni life later on. To conclude, I am thankful to have been able to come here and I'd just like to say- very well done to the organizers of ORA, I had lots of fun, and hopefully, I'll come back next summer!”

“It’s my second time with ORA programs, both times were in Cambridge, Clare College. It was amazing. I made so many new friends with the ones I still keep in touch and also learnt a lot. I developed new skills in the subjects I had chosen, but also had an amazing free time in campus and in town. I wouldn’t mind taking another course next year. Thank you for everything. Looking forward to ORA 2020Regards, Paula Garcia Charques”

“I got to meet people from all over the world. Everyone was very inviting and kind and friendly even though we were all strangers. It has made me want to come back and share many more experiences with more people :)”

“Oxford Royale Academy has changed my life for the better. The classes were fascinating and my friends i have made all over the world are invaluable and immeasurable in value to me.”

“Brilliant experience. Wonderful kids and a supportive environment. My daughter learnt so much about Medicine and life!”

“The Summer was great. I had a warm welcome By the ORA Team. Through out the stay the councelors were very nice. I have to admit, I was a little bit disapointed by the st. Edmunds college at first, because it wasn‘t what I expected. Also I have to Tell you that my first physiks teacher was awful and a waste of Time. The second physiks teacher, John, was perfect and I wish I had had him from the beginning. What I struggled with this session, was the lack of time for lunch and the workload. Also would I have wished for more physikal activity’s in the afternoon. Other the stay was pretty amazing and I really enjoyed the last week. The only problem with ORA as a summerschool, is, that it only lasts for two weeks;) thank you very much for making this possible and I hope to see you next year again.Andrea Schmid”

“Oxford royals helped me connect to different people from around the world, and now I have more friends and also more knowledge on the subjects I took in the New Perspectives course.”

“Oxford Royale Academy has changed my life for the better. The classes were fascinating and my friends i have made all over the world are invaluable and immeasurable in value to me.”

“The ORA summer school experience was one of the best experiences of my daughter’s life. She was extremely happy with each and every aspect of the program, and made friends from different counties. The teachers, counselors and other staff members were extremely friendly, informative and helpful. Living in the University of Oxford was an amazing experience for her and reassured her of her readiness for uni life. Thank you so much, ORA, for a wonderful, insightful and blissful summer program. I would definitely recommend ORA to all my friends.”

“It was an amazing experience meeting new people and calling them friends and facing great challenges and helping me now what college will be In the future”

“It was absolutely perfect. During this year's ORA I met some people who certainly have a place in my heart now. The lessons were brilliant and the teachers had great knowledge of all the topics. And finally the fact that I was a student ambassador made the experience even better as I could pass on my enthusiasm and contribute to the session.”

“Fantastic time, I think an improvement would be to say which bus is going to the dungeon and which one to the aquarium. but overall I had a blast.”

“My daughter went to Oxford and she said that she had so much fun. Also academically, the program was sufficient. Thanks for the discipline and hard work of Oxford Royale commissioned.”

“Great balance between academics and activities”

“Incredible, one of the best experiences in my life. The atmospher which I found in ORA, my schoolmates and the staff were marvelest. I look forward to join another session next year!”

“good”

“Great courses in a beautiful campus, our child learnt a lot and it was a great experience! However, we think that there coould have been more activities outside of campus, such as more/better excursions and trips to different parts of oxford.”

“The ORA summer course is an awesome experience in which I have got to know many people from all around the world and I have, also, had an extraordinary introduction to engineering. Highly recommended.”

“It was a very good experience for me because I had a chance to travel on my own, meet new friends around the world, and learn many things about the topic I liked - Fashion and Textile Industry. In general, everything that was done for the students in Campus Time, Evening Activities and Free Time in Oxford, was very fun and thoughtful.”

“The whole experience was amazing. I loved all of the people who took part in the course from all around the world. I've made so many friends that I will keep for so many years. The activities we took part in such as the sports day, oxford trip, salsa and everything else was amazing. If there was anything I would change it would be to have the saying goodbye's done better. I know lots of people missed saying goodbye to their friends who left early. Overall it all went amazingly.”

“My son Bernardo Perez, was very happy and pleased with his two weeks program. He enjoyed a lot, met good friends, he was very pleased and challenged with his teacher and the assingments he did. It was a wonderful experience for him. Thanks.”

“The Oxford Royale Academy summer school was by far the best and most rewarding experience i have ever had in my life! I got the opportunity of building bridges with people from all over the world in the city of dreaming spires and i feel like i have become a stronger and more confident person thanks to this programme! The teachers are fantastic and absolute experts in their fields and in the period of two weeks, we have covered a lot of material and we have acquired a lot of valuable and useful skills that will help us later on in life, especially in university. I recommend this program to anyone that wishes to make international friends and explore an ancient and spectacular city, like Oxford!”

“I really need to say thank you toYour guys. The activity you guys arranged for us is so interesting that I joined it everyday.”

“Oxford Royale Academy was an amazing way to spend my holiday. It exceeded my expectations and I had such an amazing experience there. The experiences you have and people you meet are so special. The memories will stay with me forever. I would highly recommend ORA and would even come again myself.”

“I am very happy that my daughter had a unique life experience in Oxford! She learned a lot about the subject she wants to study, made friendships that I think will last a lifetime from what I can see a month after her return. She was delighted with the location and the activities, with the courses she attended and I was very satisfied with the high level of service and the security I felt sending her alone as there was very good organization in the reception of the students and immediate response to all my questions, before and during her stay at Oxford.”

“ORA was an unforgettable experience. I learnt things that I will carry with me my entire life and made amazing friends from all over the place!”

“New friends, new experiences. New knowledge. The perfect experience!”

“It was an amazing experience which I gained a lot of knowledge and made great friends who are like a family to me now. Would highly recommend it to anyone!”

“Program good but the support system was not and when we had a problem it was hard to get support. You need more flexibility in the program”

“i really had an amazing time this summer, making new friends from all over the globe, learning all about the fascinating field of medicine, discovering oxford and much more.. thank you so much and i hope to see you again next summer! timotea barha✌ ”

“The staff was amazing.”

“Oxford Royale Academy enhanced my learning and it gave me a realistic experience of university life. It also provided me with lots of knowledge, outside of our syllabus. Oxford Royale Academy also gave me the opportunity to make true and sincere friendships, where friends turned into family. I was able to make friends from all over the world and it was a truly enjoyable experience in Oxford Royale Academy. Even after the session, I could not stop thinking of the memories I have made in Oxford and I really missed my experience. In addition, the staff were really helpful and friendly as well during the session. It will be perfect if the showers could be fixed in one of the corridors. :P”

“This was very fun. Made lots of friends. Would go again.”

“It was four really happy and interesting weeks fo me. I want to say thank you to everyone in this college, especially the director Mr Bob. He was interested on every our problem and tried to solve them as soon as possible. Also, the councilors were so friendly and open to us that we could tald to them as good friends. Every minute they were ready to help us. I enjoyed the time in Oxford Royal Academy in St Peter's college so much!”

“Oxford Royale is pretty great. I actually came out of my tiny enclosed shell and met some other people. Doing that also taught me how to be selfless. How to care for others, even if it means just waiting for them while they stand in line or finish eating, because in the end it's the little things that matter. Apart from the engaging lessons, I learnt that simple acts of kindness, simply for the sake of making someone's day better, make others happy, including yourself. This probably the most valuable lesson I will ever learn. Not to be so selfish and greedy. Because this is a messed up world, and there's always room for a small act of kindness... So why not be that person? :)- anastasia (hiro)”

“My son really enjoyed it but thought the curriculum was too easy. Maybe some prework courses to make sure everyone is on the same level.Overall he loved it, so I love it”

“I loved the experience I had at the ORA Summer School. It was an amazing opportunity to meet students from all over the world, and I made so many friendships which I will never forget. It was incredible seeing how all the connections between people formed within a couple of days, and by the end, everyone was dreading leaving because we didn't want to leave our friends. The learning experience was very beneficial, and it personally helped me realise subjects that I am/am not interested in. I loved and enjoyed the trip, and am so appreciative of being given this opportunity.”

“ORA was a great experience! I actually met people from all over the world and i truly have broaden my horizons! I really wish to go back there again”

“The Oxford Royale Academy was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. The opportunity to interact with people from all over the world an to engage in challenging courses with the help of fantastic teachers was truly second to none. I look forward to applying all that I have learnt in the program to my studies and life.”

“It was a very great experience. The children were able to learn, make good friends, and acquire a wealth of knowledge that will benefit them in their future studies.”

“Truly an excellent experience, foundation courses for university are taught by university students which are very enjoyable and at a high quality for education compared to other summer schools I'd say. Facilities such as classrooms, restrooms, and in general university campus's are of high quality and very much enjoyable and comfortable to live in. ORA staff members are extremely helpful, handy and very friendly making the experience 10x better. ORA students were also very friendly and you have the opportunity to make extremely good friendships too!”

“Overall a very well know camp, met many amazing people and had a good time. I felt that some aspects of the camp was not worth what its expensive price. For example, the first week of classrooms was basically a small bedroom with some tables in it. Regardless, had a good time but ORA could do with many improvements.”

“It is really hard to do a summary of the best two weeks in your life. Two weeks that fortified my academic skills and boosted my general knowledge. Two weeks that widened my social circle and gave me friends for a lifetime. Two weeks that gave me the chance to live the university life. Two weeks that turned me into a young entrepneur. (I was taking the enterprise course). To cut the story short, Oxford Royale Academy gave me the experience of a LIFETIME!”

“I loved my time at ORA, it was one of the best experiences of my life. I made really close friends in such a short period of time. I enjoyed the lessons and the activities with the other students and counselors. At the beginning two weeks seemed long, by the end it wasn’t long enough.”

“Oxford Royale provided an experience where you could learn about subjects you are interested in and also meet new people from around the world, ultimately leading to one of the best experiences.”

“Hello, my name is Jazmín and I was at Jowett Walk for session 3. These past two weeks had been amazing. I was in the Summer English Course and now I feel much confident with my English. I also made many friends who I still keep contact. Oxford is a wonderful city and I discover many places. If you are looking for the perfect academic/social/personal experience, then Oxford Royale Academic is the perfect place for you”

“A great experience for my daughter. Excellent learning experience coupled with very positive environment. Culture starts with leadership and quality of teachers and organisers. This was outstanding. Great mix of students who all came with a desire to learn and develop. I highly recommend Oxford Royale.”

“Coming here was the best choice of my life. It was a life changing experience, and I mean it honestly. The teacher was amazing, the students were amazing, and the staff as well. I am a person who never cries, and before I left I had tears dropping out of my eyes. Such a unique 2 week experience. I will for ever treasure my time here.”

“Every member of ORA was very convenient and comunicatable!”

“The food could've been better.”

“Thank you very much for communication and cooperation.Students really liked the courses. As for me like an agent there was difficulties in communication about transfer. Situation about departure organization was really nervous. I believe that next time detailed instructions will be correct.”

“An amazing experience with great company and made many new friends”

“The social aspect was very well planned and the course I took has already helped me tremendously.”

“Best 2 weeks of My Life !!!”

“The food was not that much good and the room was cleaned 2 days in a week or one time”

“I think ORA is quite good as it provides lots of opportunities to students to show their talents, to meet new friends, to experience different cultures and so on.”

“i met a lot of friends , professors and staffs who are all friendly and kind. i also visited many interest of places , the musical, school of rock really left great impression on me. i hope i can come back and see all of them again.”

“Oxford Royale Academy was unforgettable. I made so many friends, many that I still talk to. It's weird to say this but I even became more independent and confident. I came with a friend but feel like I left without her. In the beginning everyone said they thought I was her 'sidekick'. And tbh I did feel like a sidekick. But I began socialising and making new friends, discovering I can be sociable and don't need someone constantly by my side.Academic wise I feel accomplished. Although most classes were challenging, I found interest in discovering new things and figuring out their purpose in the real world.I definitely would like to come back next year. Especially with the 150 pounds discount:)Thank you so much ORA. It was the best experience I've ever had. I've learned so much, academically and personally.”

“Our students expressed their exitement with this summer programe. They were very pleased with everything. Thank you very much for making this a wonderful experience!”

“ORA is a once in a lifetime experience, meeting people from all around the globe. Beautiful venues and top class teachers, if only it were longer.”

“ORA made me happy in many ways. 1) The kindness of the people & Staff. 2) The friends I made and how I connected with & most important THE FOOD was amazing!”

“This camp is a very joyful and enjoyable way of discovering new subject and areas of study !! It allows you to meet people from all over the world and stay in touch !!”

“My son loved every bit - kind people, diversity, interesting courses, fun activities. Great experience all around!”

“Absolutely the most amazing experience of my life. The opportunities to learn and meet new people were spectacular, I just wish it was longer!”

“It was a great experience to make new friends but personally, the medical course was a letdown. The teacher was simply another medical student when I was promised the best teacher. It was also quite frustrating when our teacher left to go watch horse racing instead of continuing his commitment. Also the food provided at the Yarnton Manor was sometimes extremely horrible and this is not only my opinion but the opinion of many who attended. Also no fans were provided for the extremely hot rooms even after being promised then. Luckily it became colder and the towels provided did help to cope with the sweat.”

“I enjoyed my stay in Oxford very much.I was enthusiastic about the great atmosphere during classes and free-time.My teacher Rosie Waygood did a great job! She taught us so much in these two weeks. The other staff were friendly too.The parties were fantastic as well and the venues were absolutely amazing (the Randolph Hotel).I met people of different nationalities and I keep in touch with them, they are very very kind!Ellen Cordemans, IELTS Preparation Course session 3 2016 Balliol College”

“It seems that the income level of the students’ family is quite high, but there is no big problem to be friends with them during the program.The students were quite unique, and there were many students who had experiences that no one else had ever had. I could spend precious days!”

“It was great 2 weeks in Oxford,There I find a lot of friends,learn something new,improve my English and sport skills.I’ll never forget this 2 weeks”

“Great course academically, great location, and great people to go with it. One of the best decisions I've ever made.”

“Being at ORA for 2 weeks was one of the best experiences in my life. I met people from many different nationalities, with different cultures, languages and religions. I love ORA, I love the classes, the counsellors and by last but not least important the students, who made my experience unforgettable. I miss everyone so much and I wish I have had more time with them.”

“Counselors were absoloutly amazinh”

“Really good to meet new people and to learn english”

“I love this summer school so much????”

“The ORA Medical School Preparation program which I attended was one of the most remarkable experiences I ever had. It was an indelible travel. I discovered numerous cultures and I created a lot of friendships. I will definitely come back next year!”

“It was an amazing experience, I got to meet so many people from all over the world and made such great friends and learnt so much from them. The course as well was academically challenging but inspiring and motivated me more to pursue law. I also liked the fun activities and the amount of time we had to bond with others and meet great people.”

“ORA summer school is awesome, inspiring, unforgettable and out of my expectation. I met know outstanding teachers here and also gain academic improvement from here, and most importantly, I made several fantastic friends here and from solid friendship which I will value forever. It's so difficult for me to bid farewell to the people I met and the things happened in the past two weeks! Thank you.”

“People at ORA are very understanding and thus help the students to open up in a completely new envoirment.”

“I really enjoyed my two weeks at ORA Yarnton. People were incredibly friendly, counsellors were very enthusiastic, teachers were passionate ! Law preparation course gave me the opportunity to have a general overview on my future studies. Thus...thank you so much !”

“Great experience! Counselours were amazing and accomodated every mental and physical need that the students had. Classes were educational and the teachers made them super interesting - if you work hard, it's easy to get an A*. The medicine course was amazing, with tours of facilities and history taking, along with an exam and an essay. Free time was amazing; up to three hours of free time on normal days, and on Saturday, we were able to walk around Oxford all day! Extra tours and activities were also quite fun. Ian and Javier (camp directors of Oxford Royale 2024) truly cared about your well being and safety. I wholly recommend this camp, even at the slightly steep price. The two week program is amazing and a must have for the worldy student. Myself and others recommend 100%, and I've made long-lasting friends at Oxford Royale.”

“I am very happy and sad at the same time after the end of my stay in LMH. It was an amazing opportunity to expand my knowledge and at the same time meet people from other cultures. If I have the chance, I would come again.”

“I made new friends and I met people from many different countries. The counsellors were kind, helpful and funny and they helped me whenever I needed help. The classes were fun and I learnt a lot from them.”

“ORA has given me an opportunity to get to know people from all around the world and talk to some of the most intelligent people I have the pleasure to meet in my life. The course itself was intensive, yet productive, and the teachers were very friendly and welcoming. It was a great experience. Thank you very much ORA.”

“I was in the law and politics course and I enjoyed it. Everyone was nice and friendly and the teacher was fantastic, we learned a lot with her and felt confident enough to speak and ask questions or give opinions. She helped us understand what it is to think like a lawyer and guided us to a clearer idea of what we want to do in the future. Overall all the staff was nice, they were there for anything we needed and were always really friendly. The food was good, of course, it wasn't Micheline star but considering it was school lunch I enjoyed it. Although we didn't get any lunch, which was one of my negatives, the breakfast was big and the dinners varied. In my opinion, this course was amazing but it was also lacking organization. A lot of the time activities would change, or gatherings would start late and sometimes we weren't sure what was going on and neither was the staff. Maybe next time setting up something like a google classroom for announcements could work so that everyone is informed on what is going on and if there are any updates. My last comment would be that the wifi was really bad there, you could only connect with one device and every few hours you had to log back in.”

“Oxford Royale Academy is a fantastic place where one can develop both academically as well as socially. The experience is very diverse ranging from rigorous learning to punting, watching musicals and much more. It is life changing in every way and definitely worth one's time.”

“The activities the closure tha the staff had and many other things made me happy”

“Yarnton is quite far away + the food is not enough (dinner at 7 and you go to sleep around midnight, you're not even allowed to order pizza). Otherwise an amazing experience and really helpful for future studies!”

“This year it was quite disorganised and we weren't allowed to leave campus for some reason. The staff were really nice though. The activities could've been better and the food was really bad. On the first day I expected there would be at least some icebreakers and getting with classmates so we could get acquainted but there was none of that and instead it was really messy. Curfew is quite early too in my opinion. The programme is quite weak with the whole exhibition thing and on Sunday there's really nothing to do since there's no excursion or anything so we could've had something else replacing it. The teachers were great though and were very engaging.”

“Just awesome!”

“The course was really interesting and I've learned a lot during these two weeks. I had a lot of fun doing all the activities with the counsellors (bowling, zumba, visit of London...) . I met wonderful friends coming from all around the world, it was a very enriching experience. Moreover, we were given everything we needed.”

“- Rules were too harsh- Curfew for 16-18 years old is unnecessary as night life is a crucial part of oxford experience (Varsity doesn't have similar regulations)- otherwise, outstanding course!”

“The course was good, though also a bit stressful sometimes. I wish we had more chances to get to know the other people (many came with their friend groups and so they did not really bother to make other friends). And also sometimes you don’t even know how to approach people. I also wished we had more chances for activities as some (like watching football) were not really useful. I wish there were more activities to explore the city.”

“Awesome experience!”

“It was one of the best expreciences I have ever had!!!!!!”

“This camp was over my expectations. I thought that the staff were nice, the sites were interesting ranging from museums to punting, and most of all, I had fun as I met new people and the trips and lessons were fun. This was truly a spectacular experience.”

“Oxford royale academy was very fun and i made a lot of friends.”

“My experience here at Oxford Royale Academy has been by far one of the best experiences of my life. In the short time I’ve spent here, I’ve learned many things and created lasting friendships with wonderful people.”

“Oxford Royale Academy has given me the oportunitty to explore new knowledge fields,which have made me look the world with a richer perspective.Rita Manzano Prieto”

“The Broadening Horizons programme run by Oxford Royale Academy was simply spectacular. The classes held challenged me beyond my comfort zones and allowed me to discover my true potentials. All of this was done in an environment that was so conducive and that gave me a sense of belonging despite being so far from home. Everyday was a new learning experience whether it was from our excursions to renowned cities or from a simple discussion with friends. The councellors and staff members always went the extra mile in ensuring that my two weeks spent in Oxford were memorable ones. They attended to our every need and built really close relationships with the students that by the end of the programme, it was extremely difficult to part with them. What I cherish the most are the friends I have made within the short period of time. Everyone was so friendly and so open to learning new things about each other through fun games and activities that made my stay even more special. This was indeed an experience like no other and one that has left an indelible mark in my heart.”

“Thank you, Oxford Royale, for making those 10 days such an amazing experience that I will never forget. With great education, councelors, and new friendships, the camps hosted by Oxford Royale Academy is something I would really recommend to every one of you that desires to experience the college lifestyle, have a productive summer, and forge long-lasting relationships.”

“ORA is super dope”

“I really enjoyed my time at Oxford Royale Academy because everyone was very welcoming, the teachers were excellent, and the counsellors were extremely kind.”

“I am semi-homeschooled and by going to ORA, I gained not one experience, but lots of it. It expanded my world and the academics are well-taught. I enjoyed my two weeks there and made numerous bonds throughout the world.”

“I really loved the freedom I had, the friends I made, the parties, the rigourous education, and so much more. I learned alot in these 2 weeks. This program helped me to realise medicine is the right career path for me.”

“The courses are engaging, informative, and well-developed; the environment is very supportive and suitable for students, with respect to the classroom as well as outdoors; and the programme allowed me to connect with people that i will forever cherish.”

“Meeting many amazing, new people.”

“I arrived at Oxford Royale with an extremely nervous outlook and underconfident personality. Oxford Royale Academy helped me feel more confident with my writing skills and taught me something about not caring about what others think of my work. It helped hone my skills and I am glad I chose it. I made friends from places I never expected to meet people from and it was over all a great experience”

“Definetly one of the best expieriences of my life. Excellent teacher, friendly staff and very good counselors.Loved it so much i left in tears.”

“Very nice and safe summer program with many opportunities, interesting activities and sessions. Very good professors and wonderful learning experience”

“With a beautiful blend of cultures and traditions, Oxford Royale Academy gave us hope for a better future and our position in it. I made friends from all over the world, people I still talk to days later. Not only have they influenced me now, but will forever play a role in the rest of my life. I am now certain what career path I would like to take and how to achieve my aims. Thanks to ORA, I have created my own strategy and method to reach my goals and be happy while doing so.”

“This was an incredible experience! ORA went way above my expectations and really made me feel at home. The staff is extremely kind and dedicated and the activities are very fun and exciting. I am hoping to come back another year!”

“(I went to Yale with OR) I was really fond of the campus and the activities organised by OR. My teacher was amazing and the law class was incredible interesting.I do however believe that when you’re 16 or older you should be able to go outside of the campus on your own, we could only go during the “town time” activity and we had to be in a group of 8 and get a counsellor to join us.”

“Interesting, fun, good teaching, expensive”

“I met a lot of new people”

“- The courses are very informative, giving me the taste of how university would be like - facilities are brilliant - counsellors are very friendly”

“Oxford Royale is an amazing institution with the great ability of easily entertaining the students who dedicated their minds to learning more. My course was related to engineering, so we made many physical projects, including learning about aerodynamics, bridges, engines, as well as how engineers projected the Burj Khalifa. Besides the amazing classes with top of the line teachers and speeches with AI experts, we had many other forms of entertainment, including field days and walking around London to explore different museums and POIs. It’s 100% worth it, especially in London with the best staff (best wishes to Mr. Lee Barister) and extremely helpful campus counselors. Hope this message is read by the organizers.”

“I am very happy that I did the program of ORA. I got so many expressions of different cultures, found many new friend and learned extraordinary much in these two weeks. Thanks for this pleasant stay at Lady Margret Hall. I am very sad that this summer course is over now, I wish I could have stayed longer”

“ORA got me to make new friends in a short amount of time. My confidence increased greatly due to the course.”

“ORA is a unique summer camp. The people you meet there are just one of a kind and it's a blessing to be able to go there.”

“I thing the diner could been later, evening shoot earlier. More time in London and better( more reliable )monitors. BETTER FOOD”

“The best experience”

“Everything was amazing, especially the people.”

“Oxford Royale Academy has made my experience amazing for the year. This was my second year there, and it couldn't have been any better. The classes I had (mathematics, contemporary history and teambuilding and leadership) were amazing and the teachers were so welcoming and understanding, when you said you didn't understand something. The counsellors were all very nice and also helpful. The accommodation at Oxford and the food, is not a 5 star hotel, but it has everything you may need or require. Oxford Royale Academy is a great summer school, if you are looking for one.”

“The programme was very interesting and I was able to identify my interests and career paths more clearly.”

“My time with ORA was magical. I met so many amazing people and the college was stunning ! It was truly a life changing experience.”

“I made new friends and learned so much. The evenings spent playing sports were really fun.even the HWwas kind of fun to do as the subject of study was so interesting. I think that my experience was really enriching to my person.”

“I Really enjoyed my experience at ORA. Meeting people from so many nationalities, interacting with them was an amazing experience. The classes were absolutely excellent and I learnt so many new things. The teachers were knowledgable, warm and friendly and all the counsellors and house deans were fabulous. The extra actives and excursion were extremely interesting. The accommodation (At Yarnton Manor Sesson 2) was absolutely beautiful. It was a wholesome experience that I will never forget. (I wish the food was better though, otherwise no complaints at all):)”

“It was very fun and I learned a lot of new things. I made many friends very quickly and I hope to go again.”

“This experience was amazing! The lessons weren’t boring at all as the teachers made the course interesting for us. Additionally, the activities such as punting, the walk in town and soap science were a fun way to spend our evenings and get to know each other better. Last but not least, the staff/counselors were friendly and welcoming which is really important! Overall, it will be unforgettable and I hope to get the opportunity to come next summer as well.”

“Oxford Royale Academy has taught me many lessons and I was able to meet people from all around the world.”

“Being able to attend the Oxford Royale summer school was a great exprerience.I learned a lot and had fun.I would definetely consider coming back”

“I learned a lot and made great friends it was a lovely experience.”

“It has been a very enjoyable experience in which I was able to meet people from all around the world”

“Meeting new people from all around the world, and bonding by working together inside and outside of the classroom.”

“Oxford Royale was an amazing summer camp of inspiration, challenges, and fun. The Introduction to Law course itself was a challenging and engaging, providing us students with information that presented us to the different aspects of law, and more importantly, information that would help us decide our future career. Overall, the Oxford Royale Academy was an excellent camp. It organized interesting and varying activities for students every day, and gave students a chance to see the beautiful sceneries of Oxford. Although the course was absolutely amazing, there were a few small leaks. Firstly, the days ran a little bit too late, the shout ends at around 22:40 most of the time, and students barely have the time to shower and so on because if we shower earlier, we no longer have the chance to run around, and we wish to use the time to socialize. Secondly, the wifi. The wifi was unstable in the Department of Education most of the time, and many students did not know how to deal with these problems. Thirdly, too many surveys. In total, there were about three surveys, which could have been grouped into one on the final day with no problem. Fourthly, not a lot of time was given for packing, most students rushed on the final day, and it was easy to lose things. Otherwise, the Oxford Royale Academy was thoroughly enjoyable and I enjoyed every second of it. I hope to come back again in the future.”

“Everything was wonderful and the staff all treated me perfectly other than cathy”

“A great learning and life experience”

“I've meet a lot of intresting, friendly people form various background and I've learned a lot about the courses I took.”

“Oxford Royale is, much like most summer camps, a wonderful opportunity to mingle with other students from around the world. Around the city of Oxford I learned to respect people from all different cultures with their own habits and motives. It was also a good opportunity to create "inside jokes" of all cultures. While the classes were great, I couldn't help but feel like all mentors were slightly inexperienced at teaching their subject - though when asked questions, we all learned that they were very knowledgeable. I had a lot of fun and look forward to taking advantage of this opportunity when I structuralise plans to study in Oxford in the future.”

“Such a great experience! The college was beautiful and the course was so much fun. All the counselors were extremely nice, and they planned great activities for us. As for the lessons, I learned so much more about medicine and disease than I previously knew. Our teacher was extremely kind and supportive, and he made the lessons engaging and informative. Not only did this program give me the chance to improve my knowledge base, but it also made me more independent and gave me the opportunity to form amazing friendships.”

“Oxford Royal Academy gave me the opportunity to make friends from all around the world and this was the best part of my experience. The campus was beautiful and well maintained and the stuff was really welcoming and helpful.”

“It was an excellent and well prepared summer school. The trips were well planned. The counsellors did a lot of hardwork. I was very impressed and I hope to see you all again next year. I hope you come up with more interesting things like this time. These two weeks were the best weeks of my life. I will never forget my friends and counsellors and my trip to Oxford.”

“The bed mattresses were not clean and the JCR was "broken" but other than that, it was an extremely fun experience!”

“Both the service and the courses were very good.”

“I learned and I met new people from around the world. It was an enjoyable experience.”

“Oxford Royale Academy gave to me a lot of challenges and fun. I'm so glad of this experience because I have returned home with new friends and new skills. I hope to have the opportunity to do it again. Thank You all!!”

“I genuinely enjoyed ORA this summer; I believe it was a very good experience and a worthwhile way of spending the summer. I made lots of friends, whom I got contacts of and nonetheless stay I touch with them. Also, I enjoyed the activities and classes and would therefore like to thank all of the ORA staff and faculty that made it happen (and especially those who gave in more time for me to help make my experience the evat they could I.e Alex, Ryan, Ms. Richards, Mr.Fisher etc.I, however, wish ORA had better surveillance in terms of the close behavior the students do.”

“Lovely experience where I felt supported by the counsellors (especially Josh), teachers and other students. I enjoyed having the opportunity to explore oxford with my peers, but longed for more time to do so. Though dinner was edible, it was not as pleasant as expected. Excursion to Bath was especially enjoyed, as majority of the day was given to us to free-roam and explore Bath for ourselves.”

“Can anyone really have a bad experience at ORA? Nope . It's not possible . I enjoyed my time with Oxford Royale Academy this summer and it proved to be the best summer of my life. Not only because you have socially interactive activities which have increased my confidence levels , but also a nice education system which helped me in my own aspect. And I have gotten an insight of how university life is like. I wanted to explore Cambridge life and I got what I was searching for. Your staff was brilliant especially I loved Emma ( P.S I forgot to say him goodbye. If you can say goodbye from by side , it would be greatly appreciated). Finally I would recommend everyone to have an amazing summer at ORA 2020. Thanks and best regards, Muhammad Ahmed Jamshaid”

“An excellent experience! Education, history, fun and friendship wrapped all together in a perfect combination! I am so happy that I had the opportunity to join the ORA Summer Course and most certainly looking forward to doing again on next summer! Thank all you guys for two unique weeks!”

“Food sucked, activites were wired”

“The stay was amaizing but maybe make it 3 weeks instead of 2 I miss it so much”

“I was at Clare college for two weeks in the English course. It was amazing, academic but also fun with super teachers, I met many wonderful and open minded person that I will never forget. I strongly recommend this experience.”

“I had an extraordinary experience while being ORA student. I got a good base for my further studies and made a lot of new friends as well.”

“It was the best two weeks I've every experienced and I'm glad that I had the chance to study and meet friends at such a prestigious university. It was a once in a lifetime experience that I would definitely never forget. It gave me a good chance to meet new people, new cultures and get a taste of university life. The courses were really good and interactive, which I liked.”

“I went during 2024 in the second session. A great experience to meet people (coming from an introvert) and to learn about the courses. Highly reccomended.”

“For me, this is an wonderful oppoetunity to meet other kids around the world. One thing that impress me the most is the detailed and specific organisation and schemes that make all of us enjoy this experience. All the best and look forward to attending this summer camp again.”

“For me, it was a whole new experience. I never thought it is possible to combine learning with so much fun I had.”

“Oxford royal academy overall was a learning experience and the centre to all the friendships i built with a lot of people from all around the world.”

“My time at Oxford Royale was great. At first I was like “this isn’t going to be fun” and “all the kids are older so I’m going to be an outcast”. This was not how camp went. The first couple of days I met and talked with people. I realized that I shared similar interest and we both came here to become smarter. As camp progress I made some of the best friends I’ve ever made and I had lots of fun. Although I didn’t make many friends in my younger cohort, I made many in the older one. Curfew and wake up time also made lots of sense as I was always fully rested. Lastly the activities and consulars were super nice and smart and they always helped me. The experience overall was great as I learned many new skills and many new friends!”

“A great experience that truly enables students to take risks, strive towards their goals, understand their different career choices, and just enjoy the cultural significance of where you are.”

“ORA was an amazing experience! I met a lot of people from different nationalities that I'm proud to call my friends! On top of that the lessons were amazing and I hope that I will us what I learnt from these past 2 weeks! I dream of the day where I can go back to camp there.”

“Even though the conditions were satifying, I did expect more challenging courses. The information was basic and not intellectually stimulating.”

“I went to the program in Oxford University last summer. I took rhe Engineering Course and it was an amaIng and a lifechanging experience! I truly recommend!!”

“The people were really friendly and the activities was really interesting”

“I met new friends and I had a lot of fun”

“I attended the Medical Preparation Course and I can say with a clear conscience that it has been the best decision I've made in case of preparing for Medical studies. The course provided an insight into the process of application for university. Both teachers and counsellors have been very helpful and kind, as well as the students. If anyone would ask me whether it is worth going - I'd say 'yes' without thinking.P.S this is not sponsored :p”

“I had an absolutely incredible time doing Summer school with Oxford Royale Academy! I learnt new things about myself and the world around me, and would definitely recommend to others!”

“Spending my summer at Oxford Royale Academy was an amazing decision. Not only did I learn so much about medicine (my chosen course), I enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and visiting the cities of Oxford and Bristol. I felt right at home immediately, and really loved the positive atmosphere at Yarnton Manor. The activities we were offered each night were inclusive and fun and I quickly felt comfortable and made friends.”

“I made some culturally diverse friends that I will keep forever. I also learnt more than I expected to, and the content was well explained.”

“The ORA experience was one of a lifetime. Not only the lessons and academic factors, but also everything on an extra-curricular note will never be forgotten. I will repeat what I said to Mr. Cooper 5 days ago: keep doing what you guys do.”

“I really enjoyed my time in Oxford. I made friends from all over the world, making great memories, all while having great lessons on a subject I particularly really enjoy: Business.”

“ORA is an incredible summer school where students will learn how to be autonome and have fun at the same time. Going to ORA is an amazing experience and I would recommend it at 100%. You learn new things and you make friendships that last forever. The staff is adorable and really heartwarming I had a tremendous time over there and I would go back any time♥️”

“I found Broadening Horizons program an amazing opportunity to explore further in the areas you are interested in, taking in consideration different origins, cultures, ethics, and languages. I got to learn to respect each point of vue and appreciate-it. And I am so thanful for that.”

“I did the Creative Writing Course at Oxford University with ORA. It was definitely the most amazing experience I’ve ever had! It was so easy to make friends and all the staff/counsellors were really sweet and helpful.”

“Absolutely loved the Oxford Royale Academy experience! A truly spectacular program that combines education learning and fun social activities. Would highly recommend the courses to everyone as the staff and the grounds were both unforgettable and only made it more enjoyable. I loved my time at ORA!”

“The hospitality of all the staff memebers; the quality of the academic course; The friendly environment of Balliol College; The students”

“It was a great experience, where I got to learn and also make friends. The teachers are very well prepared and they make the learning process better as the hands on assignments”

“ORA offer a big variability of amazing experiences. The activities and classes are welcoming and adorable.”

“The main reason of why I enjoyed ORA is because I felt that everyone was very kind. All the counselors were all very helpful and my classmates were very friendly as well. Also, the classes there were also very enjoyable since the teachers required us to interact and collaborate with each other. Additionally, the teachers also allowed us to do multiple fun activities to deepen our understanding of the subject.”

“I loved the Oxford Royal program, I met many people with bright personalities and unique minds, and I also learned a lot from the teachers, campus staff etc. You will enjoy it!”

“I have no words to describe the my journey through those 2 weeks.At first i was very nervous and did not know whether my decision of staying thousands of miles away from my home was right or not but alas it was worth it.I had lots of fun during this time, it was an exceptional experience .I made a lots of friends, the counselors were always there for us.We had a lot of fun on the excursions and while visiting the town.To sum it up,I had a lots of fun even you should try it .....”

“ORA expanded my horizons, I became more open minded on what I want to pursue as a career and study in university. ORA also gave me the experience on how it is actually living in a college.”

“Oxford Royals Academy made my summer amazing! I learned many new things and I met people from all over the world that I know I can call true friends. I definitely recommend ORA to anyone who wants to make unforgettable memories!”

“It was a great experience that gave me the opportunity to learn college level material and apply it to real life situations. I made life connections with friends and this experience was a once in a lifetime experience.”

“I made some of the best friends I've ever made in my life. I laughed harder with those people in two weeks than I have in the last year, and I want to thank ORA for bringing us together. The lessons and food and honestly EVERYTHING was amazing and just thank you.”

“I recently completed the program with Oxford Royale for architecture and I must say it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. I met so many people tha I grew close with within the two-week period, I had the ability to explore my potentials and London ofcource! I must say that it is an experience I’ll recommend to everyone”

“A great place where u have fun to learn. It's a once in a lifetime experience where you are learning new things, making new freinds organising your travel and also having a lot of fun”

“First of all, the activities were acceptable.Secondly, I was satisfied with the location. Around the college, there is a lot of shop such as supermarkets, Starbucks. Moreover, the college was close enough to the famous monuments, commercial centres and landscapes. Last but not least, I met many friends and the councillors were very kind and friendly.”

“It was very nice and the experience at Cambridge was amazing! I made a lot of new friends and made a lot of memorable memories. I also really enjoyed all the activities such as punting and then the party. I hope to do this again.”

“Oxford Royale Academy is a great opportunity for children to come out of their nutshell and look beyond their comfort zone and get a taste of real life. Here in Oxford Royale Academy, the environment built by the staff members and counsellors is enriching in itself . Moreover , the course and academic approach here is a great way for the children to know their capabilities and interests. The accommodation also is great , it gives a taste of the British culture while following the modern day academic approach.Oxford Royale Academy is highly recommended to kids between 13-18 for. a better understanding of their subjects .”

“It was a great way to meet friends from all around the world. Also to learn subjects I wouldn't have had the oppurtinity to learn elsewhere.”

“The twelve days I spent in Oxford Summer School were very happy, the teachers were very kind and professional, and the curriculum was very reasonable, which expanded my knowledge. All the courses mean a lot to me and I hope I can come back next summer.”

“outstanding”

“The people are amazing”

“The oxford royale academy was definitely the highlight of my summer. I have not only learnt more about the course I have chosen, but I've also met a lot of new friends, friendly staff and helpful teachers from different cultures all in the same campus and had a lot of unforgettable memories.”

“I had so many inhibitions before coming here-whether I would be able to live alone, make friends etc. However the counsellors were so helpful and kind and made my stay all the more enjoyable.I loved my stay here and have absolutely no regrets over my choice of subjects, coming here etc.Most of all, I miss the 2 weeks so much now that I want to return back for another 2 . It felt like home❤️❤️”

“It was fun and I met lots of new people from different part of the world. Also lessons were really engaging and our teacher Rehan Shah was good.”

“I made friends for life, had a very nice time. My stay during the summer camp was at St. Catz, due to the weather conditions it was very disturbing for us to be at the marquee for every event. Other than that I had a magnificent time and learned a bunch.”

“I was really surprised that I got the opportunity to go to ORA.I did the New Perspectives (Math, Chemistry & Physics and Public speaking) course in July -August 2018. It was a great experience that opened my horizons. Thanks to the Oxford Royal Academy for the scholarship. I had never been to the United Kingdom before, so the whole trip from start to end was a challenge and testing experience especially because it was the first time I was away from home independently attending to myself. I felt it boosted my confidence as opened my eyes in so many ways. When the friendly staff greeted me, I immediately felt I was home. I started noticing that I was not the only one far far away from home at the campus. When I saw students from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds hanging around there, awestruck by the monumental buildings with huge smiles on their faces, some over joyed, I was assured that I would be fine. In the Chapel, I realized that over the two weeks I would be befriending most of them and eventually became very close to some of them with whom I still keep contact even to date. The rooms – well totally different from what I was used to live in, were quite nice, and having a roommate added to the great experience I had in Oxford.As I was in grade 8, having just turned 13, felt that I was a bit young for the course because I found some of the material a bit challenging especially in math since the syllabus was for grade 9ers. The only reason I got through with A Grade in math could only be attributed to the support I had from my friends and teachers. The activities were amazing especially the scavenger hunt, punting and the trip to London were memorable. I think the two things that got me down were the flu and the cold weather. The coldest it gets in Maldives, where I live is 24°C but the warmest in Oxford was 22°C.I returned home to find that I had taken a leap in my ability to comprehend what was taught in class and felt that I was a step ahead of my friends at studies. The whole trip was an unforgettable experience and I would gladly love to do it again. Overall this was the best experience of my life and I would definitely recommend it for other students.”

“I met a lot of new people from all around the world, which was very cool and exciting and everyone was very nice.”

“Very good lessons and people!”

“During the one-week Yale Summer School Global Leadership Programme, I was able to explore what strengths and weaknesses I thought I had, and modify them accordingly to where I have decided to pursue for the nearing university life and beyond that. Treating sick patients may not be centred on politics, but ethical jurisdiction and appropriate relations are critical for conducting the best doctor-patient interaction. The consideration for the students’ preference for conducting classes was really favourable for someone like me, who attended the programme to broaden my experience. The topics we discussed were relevant in the happenings of the real world, which I believe is important for us youth who will mold the future. The afterclass excursions exposed me to the ways of different backgrounds and how to interact with them for maximum efficiency. It helped me become more confident in my skills and allowed me to work on my areas for improvement. All in all, I would recommend the Yale Summer School Global Leadership Programme for everyone because the experience is definitely worth it.”

“All of the ORA stuff was very friendly and welcoming all the time. It was well organized and the classes were on a high standard.”

“It was one of the most fantastic experiences I have ever had! Thank you!”

“Everything is beyond amazing, from the teachers, to the people you meet! You bond with people from all over the globe, and make so many new friends that you will miss them when you leave! The teachers are really experts at what they teach and they want you to have fun and learn a lot at the same time. Honestly, I really want to go back!!”

“I learnt many things.”

“During the course, I was eager to learn about various topics. Afternoon activities allowed us to interact and get to know each other. However, including everyone in these activities could strengthen the friendships formed during the course. I enjoyed every moment, allowing me to experience the challenges that may arise when starting college.”

“First and foremost, it was only one day since the session ended, but I was already missing all the people. I'm not sure where to begin with. The staff and students truly made it a place like no other. I also deeply regret that I did not express my gratitude at the graduation ceremony when I received my award with an invaluable gift attached to it. As a regional bursary scholarship student from Mongolia, it was thrilling for me to spend two weeks with the amazing, supportive and energetic community. I also saw what ORA did for the kids. I could see the changes in them day by day, as amazing as that sounds. I could relate to the students who opened up and tried new things for the first time to the supportive audience. It was truly an experience. The staff became part of the young adults. They shaped them into the men and women they will become in society. They were a big part of their confidence boost; their self-confidence. The teachers helped make us grow. And the counsellors, they let them be kids again. As the most problematic student in the session (lost baggage at airport etc), I could not express how much I appreciated their help and how the staff, especially program coordinators, pronounced my full name exactly correct. The lessons I learned both in and out of the classroom were monumental, and the jokes I'm glad I know now, and those wish I did not, the meals, afternoon activities and evening shouts ended too soon. They all mean so much.”

“I’m typing these letters in Dubai, waiting for my flight connection. But those memories in England with Oxford Royale and ASDAN will always live in my heart when I return to my home country, or even when I fly up to space in the future!An Oxford Royale summer school was really a masterpiece in my dreams. Engagement, pleasure and involvement are felt and innovations was made by me. It is extraordinarily amazing that a class could really make me feel so much progress and such deep involvement in such short period of time. Thanks to the active classes and the enlightening style provided by Oxford Royale, I could let myself feel free to explore the entire world of academic knowledge. Thanks Oxford that provides me with such great experiences!I certainly have to talk about the different class experiences I’ve had in the curriculums. Classes are shown in comprehensive and vivid methods. I’ve received much more information in these classes than back to my hometown and amazingly I caught all the points in classes, thanks to the structuralized textbooks and the efforts the professor has made. Plus, Oxford Royale has given me a positive introduction to English-style class. Taught in classes with less than 20 people, students are taken care of carefully and points of views are spread out in a free way. The western education system is of better variety and it stresses motivation more than Chinese classes do. In class, short interruptions that are contributive to the development are accepted and new topics of extension produced in this way is a shining point of Oxford as long as the advanced and mature teaching mode. I could CERTAINLY recommend Oxford Royale to students, especially those from China.Following my professor, Mr. Graham Cowgill, who has been with abundant, professional background experience and ultimate patience to explain and quote the basic theories of economy, so as to lead a beginner like me to enter this world of business and enterprise. Through his detailed explanations, varied extended resources provided, enlightening and orderliness schedule of curriculum, I was able to have the courage to face difficulties. To conclude, I’ve met and followed a very unforgettable and significant professor.The most significant memory with my professor is the initiative helps he provides me with. Project is a damn difficult thing, to be frank. The most important factor is where to where to put hands into the whole thing. Graham just got into my team and did some checking and vital points were raised. When business analysis were done in the mission, he just came and asked about each feature of the product, giving inspiring questions that are firmly linked to the business world and academic contents in the textbook. Facing his questions the group made reassignments and new designs and the final results proved to be satisfactory. That is different from most teachers who directly provide answers.Another shining point of Graham is his encouragement and support after class. Each time I ask questions, he would always provide informative explanations and adopt the inspiring way giving lectures. Sometimes his writings on the board, or on my student’s guide, could be even more informative and complex than those written on class. Perhaps my courage and interest of business is enhanced by his effort of help, and through which I activate my full effort and focus, getting the Effort Prize finally.I’ve talked a lot about academic things. However, though it is called an “academy”, what Oxford Royale covers is much more than academic advances. Activities for fun and for extra curriculum knowledge considerably enhanced the trip’s delight. Model Stocks and Share Market gave me the first practice of my course, though the loop playback of background music “GDFR” and “Low” indicated my results as a beginner; the Great ORA debate and the MUN told me that I still have to be humble even facing debating and political issues which I considered I was skilled in. Tours and dance parties were formed in the ways I had never experienced before, giving me a new way to explore and free myself.Oxford Royale is also great for its student body. Students from more than 100 countries filled the whole campus. To a large extent, this is one of the most challenging and interesting part when I was staying in Oxford. Learning about “Bonjour”, “heavy industry” and talking about “blocked Google”, we put down our prejudice, living deliberately, living deep, and smudging the marrows and the extremes in our lives and views – quite educational.There are so much fantastic experiences in Oxford Royale that they could not be concluded, neither to be listed. Thanks Oxford Royale that has given me such a fascinating experience, putting a dent in my universe.”

“It was a great, fun and interesting experience at Oxford.”

“I had a great time in my Broadening Horizons course. It was a great opportunity to explore academic fields and to make friendships with people from all over the world. The location was very historical and central which allowed for easy transportation. The academic growth I obtained through this course was very rewarding and beneficial. It also exposed me to many fields and let me know which ones I like and which ones I dislike. The staff was considerate and would do their best to help anyone who had a complication, they were also approachable and did not alienate themselves from the students. On the academic side, I was shown what I am lacking and where and how I can improve the quality of my work. In conclusion, it was an experience which helped me enhance my academic skills and give me a taste of what university life could be like.”

“During my two weeks with ORA, I felt welcomed by friendly, helpful and enthusiastic ORA staff, especially the junior deans and counsellors. Lessons were always interesting and the teachers were all passionate about the subject they were teaching. I learned many things that I never had the chance to do so in school. There were times when I found lessons to be challenging yet rewarding. Not to mention, attending summer school at ORA gave me the opportunity to make friends with people coming from different countries and backgrounds. I never thought I could make good, lifelong friends, in two weeks time, with people I just met. Lastly, I really enjoyed my time at ORA. It might be a little intimidating to think that you will be spending part of your summer vacation doing something so academic, but based on my two weeks experience, I think there is great balance between studying and having fun at ORA. In fact, it is almost impossible to not have an amazing time. Although the first two days felt long, two weeks flew by so quickly that I was actually sad to leave.”

“Oxford Royale was a great expreince. It was amazing to get to know people all over the globe and form life long relationships.”

“Being able to attend the New Perspectives program with Oxford Royale Academy is the best experience that has happened in my life so far . The most satisfactory part of the courses was that I had a goal, stuck with it, and in the end all the work I did paid off. One thing I was looking forward to, was the social activities that I had seen on the ORA blog and they most definitely did not disappoint (the Friday night party was THE best). The absolute best part of this new experience was meeting and making friends from literally all over the world. Meeting new people exposed me to different cultures, ways of thinking, and this enhanced my knowledge of the outside world, but also showed me how big and diverse it really is. I had read before going to ORA that during the two week stay, that I would most likely make friends for life. I didn't take that to be true though. After the end of the two weeks, I was devastated to leave my new-found friends.I think ORA is a great program that exposes people to the world in a very good way. It gives people the opportunity to gain knowledge first-hand on the different cultures present and be able to share their culture also. The courses given are practical and very useful especially if you haven't taken the course(s) in school yet.If you're contemplating participating in Oxford Royale Academy, DO IT! ORA is the G.O.A.T AND IS THE WAY TO GO!!!”

“ORA gave me the opportunity to make great friends around the world, create good memories and inspired me both personally and academically. I can't thank ORA enough for making this the best summer of my life!”

“very nicely organized. the activities are very interesting, as are the classes. The stuff are nice and you can always count on them. Unforgettable experience! I'm coming back next year for sure”

“I spend two magical weeks at Ora , with wonderful people. It was an amazing experience that not everyone is lucky to live. I improved skills like independence, responsibility, socialisation and collaboration. I also became fluent in English . I learned how to right essays and enrich my vocabulary, which helped me at my English o levels . Ora not only makes you more open minded as you become familiar with a lot of cultures and you meet a lot of creative , talented and inspired people and places , but it also inspires you to change the world . Either that is for health or for the third world countries' problems or for gender equality and other types of racism . I will always be thankful for the life changing experience at Oxford royale Academy. I feel like I came back a more mature and wiser person. I highly recommend and hope that other young people could take participation at Oxford royale Academy's courses.”

“The courses are great and I had fun. I made many new friends during the courses. The teachers and the counselors are all kind and helpful.”

“My time at Oxford University was undoubtedly the best experience I have ever had. Concerning both academic goals and social facilities, the service was perfect. Everything was well designed for students to benefit from the best university in the world. Junior deans, staff members and our guardians were extremely sincere and friendly which made me feel totally welcomed. I recommend this unique experience to everyone out there with peace of mind. Regards..”

“Oxford Royale Academy has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. Participating in this summer school has not only educated me in the subjects I chose, but also in real life skills. I’ve learned to be independent, and how to take care of myself. I have also gotten the opportunity to socialize and make friends with other kids my age from all over the world. These friendships have given me an insight on all the different cultures and ways of life around the world. I have also gotten to explore Oxford itself, and learn about its history and experience it’s amazing architecture. Overall, I think that going to Oxford Royale Academy is an awesome, life changing experience, which I would highly recommend.”

“The first week was kind of slow because everybody was new. Then the second week was so good it was very fun. I learned a lot of things”

“I went two weeks to oxford and i made so many friends from all over the world learned about so many cultures, made the best memories and i also loved learning business and entrepreneurship!”

“This was probably the most memorable, greatest and amazing experiences of my entire life. Not only did I make friends for life at Oxford Royale, but I developed the skills necessary to give me an edge in the medical school application process. I loved every single minute of it, the independence, my teacher, my class, the deans and counsellors, Steve, the scenery, the parties, the activities, I could literally go on forever. I would recommend it to everyone.”

“I learnt so much and I had an absolute blast staying in Oxford for two weeks!”

“The experience that Oxford Royale provided me with was one of the most memorable. I interacted and made friends with a diverse bunch of students with similar interests to my own. It gave me the opportunity to work toward an subject that I might choose to further and come back after the two weeks as a more independent individual. The classes were enthralling and creatively taught. A series of techniques and concepts were taught. I was pushed to work harder but have come back a more responsible and diligent person. It was the first time that I was not ‘coddled’ and truly given a chance to take care of myself. All the counsellors were approachable at all points of time. We were taken on a series of excursions but given a chance to also explore Oxford on our own and Get a taste of college life. For somebody that has had very bad experiences at courses in the past, this has truly changed my entire perspective. It’s helped me not on explore my chosen field and make lifelong friends, but also gain confidence and greatly contributed to my character. It gave me the chance to understand the responsibilities that are inherent with independence and opportunity. This was truly the best two weeks of my entire life.”

“It was a great summer course with interesting, immersive lessons; a wide range of fun activities and a beautiful campus!”

“The camp was amazing the lectures were very entertaining and engaging, the Oxford Brookes visit was very entertaining and well organized the theacher’s really knew what they were doing and how to do it, the organization was great the counselors were amazing and the activities very fun, breakfast wasn’t very good”

“My time spent at Oxford Royale Academy was certainly an unforgettable experience. I was definitely nervous upon arrival but it took me a little over a day to feel accepted and loved by all the wonderful people I got to meet. Overall, my two week stay at Oxford was full of learning and fun with my new friends from numerous countries worldwide. I would love to do it again!”

“The quality of the teachers, organisatiion, people...”

“Attending the Oxford Royale Academy was an incredibly enriching and enlightening experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked on campus, I was greeted by a vibrant atmosphere full of energy and optimism. This program was an absolute game-changer, offering the perfect blend of academic rigor, real-world insights, and unforgettable networking opportunities.The wonderful part of the process is the faculty. Renowned experts in their field, they skillfully analyzed complex business ideas and presented them in an accessible and engaging manner Interactive talks, case studies, and group discussions not only stretched me not only in terms of knowledge but encouraged critical thinking and problem-solving. It was interesting to follow how classroom discussions are easily translated into practical applications in different workshops and theories.The highlight of the program is undoubtedly the mentoring and networking opportunities. The opportunity to network with experienced professionals, entrepreneurs, and fellow students proved invaluable. I gained insight into different industries, discussed career paths, and even received guidance on a business idea that interested me. These connections extended beyond the duration of the program and became a source of inspiration and support.As I reflect on my time at the Oxford Royale Academy I am filled with gratitude for the knowledge gained, the friendships formed, and the memories created. This experience enriched my understanding of business and empowered me with the confidence to pursue my career goals with renewed vigor. I wholeheartedly recommend the Business Summer School to anyone seeking a comprehensive and unforgettable business education journey.”

“Super positive environment. Many fun activities-- a visit to London, the theatre, punting, and just the right amount of free time. Wide range of courses offered, competent educators. Some living quarters better than others.”

“Very good community.”

“Oxford Royale helped me gain more knowledge in business. I made life long friendships with people from all over the world. It is an unforgettable experience. It will be forever my best 2 weeks of my life.”

“My ORAexperience was amazing. I had fun and met people from different countries. What I liked most was that I was able to get a clear idea of ​​what I want to become in the future. The time spent there taught me what I should expect in university which I’m really happy about.”

“It's awesome”

“I went to different summer schools within the past few years but this one was the best. This summer school gave me a chance to experience college life at a young age, learn interesting courses from a well experienced staff and connect with people from all around the world.”

“Oxford Royale Academy Summer School was an amazing experience and I’m sure that I will never forget it! I took the New Perspectives course, from which I choose three subjects: Physics & Chemistry, Human Biology and Essay Writing Skills. All the classes were interesting and gave me the opportunity to explore these areas further than I have the chance to do at school. I loved the teachers as well and all the members of the staff. They were always happy to help us, not only in classes but also outside of them, and that made this experience much better. But ORA is much more than just the classes, ORA is all about meeting people from all over the world and that’s what makes it so special. For example, I had the chance to meet people from Australia, Malaysia, Germany, USA, China, Italy, Madagascar, and from many other countries altogether. I never imagined I would identify myself with all these people, but the truth is that after the two weeks it seemed like we knew each other for much longer. Besides the classes, we had a lot of activities, for instance, I went punting, which is a traditional activity in Oxford, and I just loved it! We also went to London, to visit the Aquarium and the London Eye and to the Blenheim Palace, where we had a very relaxing time! Finally we had two parties, and they were by no means the best ones I have been in my life, the atmosphere was really cool, everyone was having fun and on account of the themes of the parties, everything was decorated according to them and it made them wonderful! Basically, ORA is a great opportunity to learn new things, to try new activities but mainly, ORA is an opportunity to make friends from all over the world, to know other cultures and to learn to live in a community where we respect each other and learn from each other, because we all came from different backgrounds and we all had different stories to tell!”

“Meeting people all around the worldLearning in a different persepctive Very accomodating”

“My experience at Oxford Royale Academy was undoubtedly unforgettable. Apart from the knowledge I gained, I got introduced to new cultures and made strong friendships with people from all around the world.”

“It is a great experience at ORA.I especially adore the academic courses, as the teachers are really respectful to students and they’re knowledgeable . Through many group works and debates at class, I definitely made progress in my fields of interest. Also,councilors are laid-back and they made my experience wonderful and fulfilling”

“The teachers there are nice, responsible and knowledgeable. The councilors helpd me a lot about the subjects I have chose.”

“ORA provided me with the finest education, coolest friendships, most engaging activities, and a two-week memory that shall be forever cherished.”

“ORA was one of the best experiences of my life, I met some amazing people which I am still contacting. I hope I will continue to talk and communicate with them for the rest of my life. Overall had an amazing time!”

“ORA was definitely an amazing experience! I took the Introduction to Medicine course and I learned so much, as I had an enthusiastic teacher! We were all so excited to learn it was a great experience. Outside the classrooms we all got along so quickly on the first day and by the end of the 2 weeks we didn't want to leave the family we made.”

“i had easily, the best summer of my life. from the learning opportunities, to meeting friends for life, oxford royale was the best place to enjoy a holiday filled with memories and great fun. i would 10/10 recommend joining along all the adventures magical oxford royale has to offer!!”

“every part of the experience in ORA i think will stay in my fish memory for a long time: lessons (teachers who were so inspired by their subjects ), activities (kinky boots made me cry i have to admit), people (all staff were amazing, my roommate was a sweet pie, group mates were encouraging to actually do something) and tasty food (very important obviously) made two weeks fly as one second (maybe a bit more when i was doing presentations and writing essays but anyway). also wifi is everywhere! thank you for no-judgment atmosphere during both lessons and spare time, that was very important personally for me and helped to enjoy the process without thinking much about how i look from the side.”

“IT was fun and engaging”

“This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I would definitely recommend it. The friends I made were absolutely amazing, the counsellors and staff made genuine efforts to connect with me, and the coursework was taught engagingly and educationally. By the end of the 2 weeks, the community formed within the college felt like a family, and while I was sad to leave, I am so grateful to have attended. It was truly an unrivalled experience.”

“The staff was great, everything was perfectly managed, the campus was amazing, the courses were great, the activities were very nice (punting was fun :)) and I met amazing people who I will remember for my whole life. It was one of the best experiences of my life.”

“The engagement among teachers. Also the variety of cultures among the students were really fun”

“Great experience , great food and I was never bored. And now I've got great memories along with my Busines and Innovation expertise:”

“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!”

“10000% Happy!!! I've met a lot of good people and we are friends with all of them right now. This expirience was unfirgettable I'm sure that I will join the ORA again next year)”

“I was great time in Oxford and never forget. I had lots of friends. I learned lots of different things in lessons and go somewhere with staffs such as, museums, libraries. I recommend everyone. I hope to meet again”

“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.”

“I enjoyed my time in Oxford, and even right now I still couldn't imagine that 2 weeks went that fast. I missed everyone there, including my teachers, all faculty members, my classmate and all my friends. Also, I miss the learning atmosphere there, the time in Oxford was just incredible.”

“The Oxford Royale Academy summer program I took part in this year was by far one of the most delightful experiences I've ever had.Not only does it teach you a lot about the course you're interested in, and not only do you have a lot of fun in class... but outside of class as well. There are a large variety of activities available for you to choose from and enjoy, and every single one of the staff members are without a doubt very friendly and charismatic.Plus, it's a great and easy way to make new friends from all over the world of which I still keep in contact with today.”

“I met a lot of great people and therefore made many new and good friends. It was also a very positive experience as I was able to experience what university would be like. And of course the counsellors were great too, big shout out to Kieran for the night of the party!! I was very happy I went to this course as it benefitted me very well and I was able to meet many great friends!!!”

“I lived an experience that will never been forgotten. Thank you to all the staff members for putting their efforts on improving the experience. Also, I want to thank all my friends for having a wonderful time with them throughout the two weeks we spent together.”

“These two weeks in Oxford were absolutely incredible! I met many international people, I discovered the University life and I learnt interesting stuff during the courses. This was a life-changing experience. Also the counsellors and the teachers were so kind and enthusiastic! This summer school has also approved my english skills (writing, debating, presenting, ...). I would absolutely recommend this course.”

“I made a lot of friends, which includes the counsellors and junior deans. We had many fun activities for example bowling.”

“The course was interesting and I learned a lot thanks to it. I met very nice people but the assistants did not ever seem to know the schedule and times at which we had to meet all together. I was very disappointed by the lack of activities. We were lied to, promised to visit museums and do lots of sports. Also the food was very poor and it would have suited everyone better with international food. Lastly, there was too much free time in the city which gave us too much freedom and not enough of security. It was disappointing for such a prestigious university to provide summer camps that use a change.”

“I really like the way of studying there and it’s very safe their the counselors were always friendly”

“It was just an amazing experience! Since the first moment I arrived at ORA college, everyone was friendly, nice and ready to help the students with whatever they needed. The accommodation was perfect (comfortable rooms in historic locations), as well as the content of lessons was university quality, deeply interesting and challenging. Most importantly, the people I met gave me the chance to debate with different opinions and learn how to fully respect them, in a time when different political views are getting more distant and thus less respectful. My stay in Oxford also made me thinking of studying abroad for university. I do recommend it to anyone who wants to broaden his horizons!”

“Extremely fun. Learnt more than in a whole school year, and the staff was extremely understanding and always helpful. Will return next year.”

“At first I was a bit anxious to spend 2 weeks in a foreign country whithout knowing anyone. Now I am really glad I had this amazing opportunity to go to Oxford, meet so much people and to be able to learn a lot, not only about medicine but also about simple things in life and embrace new opportunities instead of being afraid. If I have another chance to participate, I would take it at any moment”

“Inspiring teachers and ambitious fellow students”

“It’s a pretty good summer school very good teachers and personally the teacher that I had I thought he was very good at explaining things to the class and I understood everything. And the food was good and that includes the cafeteria all in one. The activities were good but I the museum trip was kind of useless and boring. Overall, everything was good at Oxford royale academy.”

“It is really wonderful.I met dedicated counselors and professors,and excellent students here.”

“ORA helped me discover subjects that are not available in my school and therefore proved to be extremely helpful for my discovery of possible university subject to study. The course did not leave us one second to be bored as there was always the opportunity to do fun and exciting activities and the excursions that were organised were truly amazing experiences. Unforgettable experience.”

“The best summer experience! You will learn a lot; it helped me define the career I wanted to do in college. The food needs a liittle help but besides that, totally recommend it! Very Worth it!”

“Thank you for meeting friends from all over the world!!”

“I met some amazing friends”

“I loved the experience and it was so worth it because I learned a lot and was able to meet so many cool people from different countries that I know I will keep in contact with.”

“I loved the 2 weeks experience in ORA.Everything was amazing. The teachers were very good and the staff was outstanding. In my opinion the best part was the friends who I made, that I don’t won’t to forget.”

“It was my second time at ORA and I must admit that everything changes depending on the campus. The food at LMH is way better (ESPECIALLY THE BREAKFAST) than at Jowett but the counsellors are always friendly and helpful and the people nice. The course was interesting, I learned a lot as usual.”

“Oxford Royale was a great experience - I was challenged academically and put out of my comfort zone while making lifelong friends and fun memories along the way.”

“Really great opportunity to meet new people and to learn something. Activities were fun, counselors really friendly. Met really nice people. Teachers were really friendly and dry good at teaching, also gave advice for the future. Overall a really great experience and would recommend it to others who are interested.”

“My summer with ORA was definitely an experience to never forget! Exploring Oxford, taking classes in intriguing and challenging subjects, and meeting extraordinary people from around the world made those 2 weeks fly by, as if just a couple of hours! I am very glad I chose ORA, and I recommend it to anyone seeking a life changing experience. I learned so much, both as a student and as a person! Thank you to all those involved in making this possible!”

“Fun experience being able to meet new people and learn more about my medicine. Accomodation was great too and was also a safe experience”

“Really really different experience for me, since I’m from India, our education system isn’t really impressive, but the idea that I can have an opinion on matters was really amazing and refreshing for me, and my learning skills have become much better because of the style of teaching.”

“Everything was great. From the counsellors being so kind and helpful with us to the tours anf outings and also the brilliant teachers. What made my 2 weeks more fun and memorable were my friends there from all over the world. It was a very good learning experience for me.”

“The best experience I have ever had. The counsellors and teachers were very helpful and heartwarming. The people I met became more than just friends, they were like my siblings. The area was very peaceful. The activities were super fun, too! The farewell party was also perfect. At first, due to the way we dined, I thought it was going to be bad but it was perfect. Everything except the food we ate at Balliol was perfect. The food? It was really bad, I think the food should have been optional and we shouldn’t have paid for it.”

“Fantastic experience, met new people and discovered new cultures!!!”

“ORA made me feel as if I was home, away from home. Not only did I learn and master in lessons I wasn't very well at, I also got to make international friends whom I will be keeping in touch with. It was the best 2 weeks of my life full of fun.”
