“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 !”

Hi Zaineb, Thank you very much for your review. We hope to welcome you back next year - maybe for 4 weeks, instead of two! Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“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! Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

Hi Ingrid, It's so great to hear that you have a fun fortnight in Oxford - we do offer 4 week courses, and the ability to pair 2 week courses together, so longer stays are something we're very happy to accommodate. Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“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:)”

“For my holiday, I decided to join Oxford Royale Academy Summer School in the Broadening Horizons programme at St Catherine's College. I took politics & international relations and medical biology for my morning lessons and public speaking & debate for my workshop. I also met people from around the world. We still get in touch via social medias. Overall, my experience at ORA was very positive. It helps me to be independent, open-minded, and a better version of myself. The classes I took also fit my interests and were a great preparation for my future career. Thank you, ORA!”

“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.”

Dear Mara, We are impressed by every student who comes to stay with us - it's a big step to come for a fully residential course! Yet we believe that the rewards for this step are significant, so it's great to hear that you felt so pleased with yourself and the course! We hope to perhaps welcome you back next year. Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“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!”

Hi Ilsu, Thank you so much for this effusive review! We believe that all aspects of our courses (academic, pastoral, recreational and more) come together to make our programmes the best available to students, and it's always rewarding to hear from a student who has felt all of those benefits, as you have. As you say, your journey is only beginning now, but you can go into the world as an ORA Alumnus, so hopefully it will be as part of our growing global family. Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy
