“ORA was perhaps the best 2 weeks of my life. I got to meet so many new people and make new friends. The courses were also intellectually stimulating while being extremely fun and enjoyable. The teachers were also experts in their fields and enthusiastic throughout every lesson. I would definitely recommend this Summer course.”

“When I read through the website and. saw quotes with things like "this was my best summer ever" or "it was the best time of my life" etc. I wondered if people actually thought that and it wasn't just an exaggeration to make the program look good. It's two weeks in an academic course after all, are those two weeks really going to be the best time of your life? That being said, I loved my time at ORA. The courses were interesting, the city and my college were beautiful and I did so much fun stuff.. but definitely the best part were the people I met. These people - from all over the world: Shang-Hai, Egypt, USA.. - will stay with me forever. I had so much fun, more than I could imagine and I would definitely recommend.”

“Excellent, felt very welcomed and with a great group of staff who were very friendly I enjoyed my time. Although felt the workshop classes were a bit boring and I felt disinterested at times. I will be suggesting the broadening horizons course to many people!”

“I think the teaching system was very well done: it had a very structured plan on what should be taught every day, and allowed the students to give their views on certain topics as well. The friends I had there was also a new experience: I have never had friends from so many different parts of the world. All the people in the summer camp were kind so I doubt anyone would have a hard time finding friends there. To summarise Oxford Royale was an educational and fun place to be in.”

“It was an amazing experience meeting all these persons from all over the world! I hope keeping in touch with them until university! The courses were also interesting even though we repeated what I had studied this year in my school. However I thought we did too much economy and didn't touch enough enterprises. The parties were great and we had a lot of free time to hang out with friends. Great experience that I recommend to everyone !!”

“Going to Oxford was the best experience of my life. Getting to stay at St Hugh's and make such amazing friendships throughout the course of the 2 weeks is unforgettable. All the bonds I formed at ORA will never be broken, and the lessons I learned will never be forgotten. Thank you ORA, it was a pleasure to be able to indulge in such an amazing experience.”

“Excellent program on all levels! But I think there should be more contact among all campuses. (And something tells me a scavenger hunt would kick it up a notch).”

Hi Nadim, Thank you for your feedback and kind words. Our 8 campuses are semi-independent, since each is comprised of so many students! But we'll certainly review this ahead of next year, in light of your comments, and see if we can think of any ways to foster more interaction between campuses. Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“I really enjoyed ORA at LMH. I miss every single thing, in ORA you learn loads of things, different cultures, languages, people etc. You make friends from all over the world that would definetly be your friend for a long time. The counselours are the best, they are fun, allways happy and nice. They help you with everything you need and make some activities that might seem boring really fun. The teachers are great too, you learn with their help really quickly and they are allways there to explain whatever doubt you have.I never thought that in two weeks you could have so much fun and learn so much at the same time. I recommend going to ORA to everyone, I am really sure everyone will have great fun!”

“ORA has been an opportunity that I am very grateful for, to experience new things and become a better person as a whole. The quality of teaching and of the lessons was beyond excellent. Every minute we learnt something new about our chosen subject (in my case Law). It was fun and inspirational at the same time and I can already see the impact it has on my character and my aspirations for the future. I would also like to say thank you to all the counselors for being so open, friendly and helpful. Finally, I will never forget all the friends that I made from all over the world (more than 100 countries represented this year) and how fun it was to experience this together. For the above mentioned reasons, as a student, I would recommend this summer school without a doubt to all the parents and students reading this. Thank you ORA!”

“Well, I think it would be right to say I sought change, unlike most people. In the end, I got me a change. Be it my views on jobs or my perception of people, this program changed me in a good way. As for fun, I was careless about that part but it was so fun it became the icing on the cake. I may come back again, but I certainly don't want to ruin its uniqueness. Still, it was the perfect two weeks for me.”

“Despite my time at ORA being merely 4 weeks, I can confidently say that it has shaped me as an individual. The wide spectrum of nationalities at ORA exposes and changes your perception of certain cultures and nations. Like any normal teenager, I was reluctant on whether I should spend 4 weeks of my summer studying. But this hesitance shifted once I actually began the courses. The courses were engaging and light. Personally, the friends I made at Oxford Royale Academy will be what I treasure most. You get extremely close in a short of time which is remarkable. Your stay at ORA will encourage you to meet new friends from all around the globe while attending thought provoking courses. Hope to see you next year ORA!”
