Hi Bruno, We're pleased to hear that you made a lot of friends on your campus! Our staff are always keen to help students make bonds, and we find that students make amazingly firm friendships in just 2 weeks. Many of our students from years ago are still in touch and see each other regularly! Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“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 the value of the unique, we do hope you come again next year, as we always love to welcome returning students! Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“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!”

“I can truly say that being a part of ORA 2016 has been one of the best decisions I've made this year. I now have a clearer vision of what I want to do in the near future. I have nothing but praise for this summer programme, except that two weeks weren't enough for me !”

“Through ORA I made more friends than I ever thought I could have during two weeks and I learnt so much, not only academically, but also about myself. At times it was challenging, but we always had something fun to look forward to. It truly was an amazing experience and I'll keep in touch with the amazing friends I've made and hopefully next year I will come back to ORA.”

Hi Anna Tin Wai, Thank you for the kind review. Courses that offer tuition in subjects like Law and Medicine, which are not typically taught at school level, are one of the major benefits to the courses we offer at ORA, so we're pleased that this was helpful for you!

“I thought ORA was really an amazing experience and I loved all the trips and organized activities! Perhaps a second trip to London could have been great because one did not leave a lot of time to explore... Overall though i thought our free time was great and i met lots of different people from various countries which i enjoyed very much!”

Hi Louise, Thank you for your great feedback - we'll certainly bear your comments in mind as we review the excursions ahead of Summer 2017! We try to give students time to explore London, but obviously when since it's one of the bigger cities in the world there will always be more to see! Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“My experience at ORA was unforgettable. Meeting lifelong friends (I hope), being exposed to new cultures, participating in activities I have never done before, getting education from great teachers, and receiving a glimpse of the college life are all factors that create the perfect summer package. This camp really showed me that there's so much more to learn and experience, hence the name, Broadening Horizons. - Asma Mardini”

“It was definetely a very good experience. I had very much fun, met lots of new friends and learned a lot. I definetely would recommend this to others. The only thing that I had problems with was the scheduele. Hardly anybody got enough sleep because we had so much to do and it was very stressful doing homework and taking part in the actvities as well. But other than that it was GREAT:)”
