“Being someone with anxiety and really low confidence level i thought it would be hard for me to have fun and gain things from it. Contrary to what I expected, I gained so much from this camp, I found myself having so much fun, I became a bit more responsible, I met so many people with whom I'll hopefully remain friends for life. I learnt so much both academically and about myself and life. I honestly have so many nice memories to look back to. Memories of happiness, joy, laughter and fun. The kids, councilors and stuff here became my second family. Thank you for these two weeks they were truly amazing !”

“the classes were very good but I feel like the extra activities should have been planned better people should have been able to sign up to activities a few days before they were suposed to happen”

Hi Pierre, Thank you for the good rating and for the considered feedback. Signups for our afternoon activities are generally open from a couple of days before the time in question, to give students the chance to decide what they would like to do either in advance, or on the morning of the activity. However if you felt that this needed to be a longer window, we'll look into that ahead of Summer 2017, to ensure the smoothest possible procedure for the activities. Thanks for letting us know! Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“My time in Oxford has been amazing. I have had the chance of meeting new people from all around the world in a learning atmosphere that has also guided me to decide who I want to become in the future, not only to choose what will I study but also to decide what are my ambitions. All the activities have been really interesting and there is always a variety to choose. Lessons have been superb, as students are the ones that choose their subjects, everyone is willing to learn and teachers are incredible, they are really prepared and keep motivating all of the class to participate. It has been a wonderful experience that I recomend to everyone that has the chance, I know I have made friends that will last for long and that I will not forget everything I have experienced here.”

“Oxford Royale Academy was the best summer school I have ever been to. Not only in the sense that it was most entertaining, but also as it perfectly combined exciting activities with a riveting and meticulous course. In reference to the course of my choice, Introduction to Law, I can honestly say it was extremely well taught and informative, giving clear insight into the concepts of law and the profession. What I found most beneficial about it though is that it helped me develop an in depth way of thinking, and to adopt a more critical view on issues and their solution. Recognizing that these skills are highly invaluable, I cannot help but stress that this course would as such be most beneficial to everyone, regardless of the career path they wish to follow or are considering. I am therefore so glad that I attended the Introduction to Law course, that was incredible, dare I say, life changing. Regarding the activities and social life, I was highly surprised as I was at first nervous and apprehensive of whether I would be able to get a long with a group of kids that were not only unknown to me, but also from completely different cultures. My initial fears though were almost instantly forgotten, as everyone was amazing. I cannot recall a single person for whom I do not now hold a fond memory, or whose culture I don't admire and appreciate. What is more, due to the program I made life-long friends and met people with similar interests to myself. Together we then went on to enjoy a number of great activities, such as watching a Shakespeare play in the garden of one of Oxford's wonderful colleges, going out to town for delicious ice-cream or a smoothie, admiring Oxford's Botanic Garden, and much much more. We also went on two unforgettable excursions including one to Warwick Castle, and another to London's Natural History Museum and Science museum, both of which were great experiences. In other words, it was a blast! Lastly, I would like to mention one more reason for which I believe Oxford Royale Academy was such a success. The counsellors. Their support, effort, and enthusiasm made everyone's time yet better, while they were also extremely helpful and genuinely wonderful people. Being admirably organized and aware of any possible issues that arose, they were incredible. So, thank you, Oxford Royale Academy, for this wonderful and unforgettable experience that I will always cherish and recall with a feeling of joy and appreciation! ”

Hi Martha, Thank you for your kind and lengthy review - it's wonderful to hear back from such a satisfied student. We pass this feedback on to the counsellors from our various campuses, so it's brilliant that you thought they were specifically excellent. Since so many of them are current university students, they find it easy to connect with our student body, and we hear great feedback about them all the time. Your enjoyment of the academic and extra-curricular aspects of the programme is heartening, as we strive to create a balanced timetable of lessons and activities which keeps our students busy and occupied. We hope that we can welcome you back next year, to see how much we're able to improve an already stellar offering! Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“I went to ORA for two weeks this summer, and it was by far one of the best summer camps I've done. The courses I choose - creative writing, mathematics, and leadership and team building - were amazing and I loved every moment of them. They were interesting, educational, and delightful. After taking these courses, I can say that I have definitely become a much better writer, have learned many new writing techniques, and my list of books to read has become even longer than it used to be. I have also learned new things that I haven't done before in mathematics, which will help in my studies at school, and my passion for the subject has heightened even more than before. My abilities to work in a team and be able to lead one have drastically improved as well. Not only could you do the courses you picked, but there was a wide variety of extra activities and trips added that were great fun. Some of the activities that I enjoyed included basketball, ukulele, punting, chicken wired and many more. We went on a trip to London where we could choose to either go to the London Dungeons or The Aquarium, and I choose the latter. It was a memorable experience and my love for aquariums and for the creatures found inside them has grown. We also went to Stratford - William Shakespeare's birthplace - and learned a lot about him. We got to visit his home, learn a few new Shakespearean insults that they used back in the day, and learn the dance they did at the end of every Shakespeare play performed in the open theatres. There were also social events such as themed dances and those were entertaining, with dancing not being the only thing to do. Graduation made me feel accomplished, although sad to be leaving. ORA isn't only about the courses and the activities, but also about meeting people from all around the globe and socializing with them - making new friends. I have met a numerous amount of people and made friends that I will never forget. This has helped me get a better insight of how alike but at the same time, how different we are to one another. All in all, it was a special experience and I took back home many memories. I am glad to have done it.”

“ORA was a life changing experience. Not only did I learn about various different subjects, I also learned who I really am. It was a wonderful experience. I made many friends from different countries and got to experience what university life is really like. I hope that I will be able to comeback next year. It was 2 weeks I will never forget.”

“My experience was beyond amazing, this was my first time doing summer school and I am glad to have chosen ora as the first. Ora pushed me to try new things and do things I would not have done before, because of ora i have met the most inspirational teachers and made new friendships that will last forever. The counselors and staff were so welcoming and helpful since day one. Ora is such a unique course which provides a wide variety of courses suitable for everyone and the activities made us stay busy all day! I would love to come to Ora next year. This is truly something I will never forget. Thank you. Sarah Fawad”

“I have had struggles in the past about what major i wanted. Joining ORA helped me in choosing what major i excelled at best: Law. From learning all the different cultures of twelve different girls to making strong ties with people through homework clubs and late night fun. The past two weeks were the best two weeks of my life! I wont even hesitate to coming back next year.”

Hi Christos, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your kind review! A university experience is exactly what we aim to give our students, so it's great to hear that you enjoyed it so much. We are extremely proud of our safety and safeguarding record, which may be why you felt we were strict with our students. We do feel that our courses are academic in nature, and so students should be prepared to focus while they are here. More widely, though Oxford is a very safe city, we nonetheless need to keep tabs on where our students are at all times, so free time in the city , while plentiful, cannot be unlimited. With that in mind, we hope that you enjoyed your time in Oxford enough that you may return to us again next year. Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy
