“I took the Broadening Horizons course at Queen’s College, Oxford from August 4th to August 17th. You had to choose two subjects and one afternoon class from a variety of options, mine were: Creative Writing, Journalism and Public Speaking and Debate, all three were amazing and highly recommended. The staff was great and very caring, specially the counselor who were always lending you a helping hand in the activities or anything you required. The teachers were also good, hardworking and always striking to guide you to your best potential. The activities went from sports at the park to ice skating or punting and were fun and a perfect moment for socialization. The people I met there came from all around the world and yet we were all so similar: teenagers eager to learn and have the best of times in one of the most prestigious universities. Everything was outstanding, but the best part of Oxford summer school for me was that they always put you outside of your comfort zone (making speeches in debating class in front of everyone, buying your own lunch, making friends from very different cultures) and this is where you grow the most.”

“Studying at Oxford was a dream come true. To live and study like a university student enabled me to gain a a valuable insight into what attending a prestigious university would be like. During my time a t Oxford, I studied Contemporary History, Journalism and Public Speaking and Debate. All of my teachers were very passionate about their subject and had bountiful knowledge to share. I had never studied any of the subjects before but after attending the programme, I feel significantly more knowledgeable and I am inspired to continue learning. The history course was particularly useful as it gave an introduction into the A level course, which I am starting in September. Although I was the sole student of British nationality, I was still able to develop culturally, from learning about the different lives my international friends live. Activities such as punting and ghost tours enabled my friends and I to create strong friendships very quickly. We were also taken to London for the afternoon, which was a very enjoyable experience, as we saw a West End show and explored the touristic sights. Although we had a heavy workload and intense classes, whenever we did have free time there were always multiples activities to sign up for. There truly was always an activity for every individual! In terms of location and accommodation, I have nothing to fault. Queen's College is situated right on Oxford high street, so we never had to walk far to find a place to eat lunch. In fact, we were able to eat in a different a cafe nearly everyday! Also, the girls' accommodation was exceptional; the rooms were cleaned daily and every room had its own bathroom. The only thing I would improve is the Public Speaking and Debate class. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the workshops, I would have liked to focus more on how to formally debate, rather than just how to speak publicly Overall, I am so thankful to have been awarded a scholarship to Oxford Royale Academy, as my experience was truly unforgettable.”

“Great experience. As it’s not a summer but academic camp, teenagers need to work hard on a topic they choose. This is done in the best conditions : a great environment, with great teachers. My son made new friends from all over the world and is ready for another ORA camp next summer!”

“The ORA team is very professional. So many enrichments I did not expect. Studied in Oxford is like a dream. This is the best study experience I ever have. Our classmates are very international, and our teacher Dr. Aimee is very inspiring. I appriciate all the effort the ORA team made. I miss every moment when I was in Oxford. The room was cleam an convient. Social programme was so much fun. My favorite part is the Bodleian Library card, whenever I had time I want to stay in Duke Humfrey's Library. So many memories there. Thank you ORA. I will tell friends how wonderful you are! Wish you all the best.”

“It was the best summer course i ever had. I learn many thing with the incredible medicine teacher. Many thanks to all the ora team. There were super. This course was really what i expect for. I make many friends because of the ice breaker game that was organised by the team the first day. I can't explain what else was great because there are too much! I really advice to everyone who is searching a course where you want to study and have fun at the same time to come to the ORA! Love to the ORA team!!”

“This has been our first time in ORA at LMH. As parents, we were really satisfied with Mr. Constantinou opening speech, specially with the safety and support from the organisation... and we really saw that our expectations were confirmed: our daughter got sick and they brought her to an excellent hospital, they stay with her there day and night. As a small example, as her cell phone ran out of battery, the young girl who was with her went down to a store for a moment and bought a new charger for her... Thank you very much.”

“ORA 2019 summer school was a very fantastic educational opportunity and I feel very blessed to have my son won a scholarship to attend this program. Thank ORA for giving such an excellent opportunity to us. I was very satisfied with my son's result. I would like to thank the beautiful counsellors, professors and other staff of ORA as well, without their supports, this result would not exist. I wish all of you the best and look forward to meet you guys again, if there is any academic opportunity available for Cambodian student in future :) Good Luck. Poline”

“There are now many summer programs across the UK & in fact our son's friend's attended Imperial College the year before yet this was for a STEM program. So, we were so thrilled to learn of the ORA programs as they are specific to the career a student is pursuing; our case was medicine. On reading the ORA Policy also, we knew, as parents, he was safe & looked after given the conditions on timing & outings/leaving campus etc. This course gave our son the pin-point insight into his chosen career and is now certain of choice & applying to several medical universities within the UK & NZ. He made new friends whilst there & a fantastic experience for life. Thank You ORA!!”

“I attended ORA twice this year. I stayed at St Peter's College after my wonderful experience at Clare College, however, my review will describe the stay at SPC. Upon arrival, I quickly established new friendships that are destined to last a long time! The educational courses were intellectually stimulating and the topics covered interested me greatly. The teachers' politeness and friendliness was also amazing. However, the activities that I participated in after classes allowed me to uncover my creative side and nurture existing friendships. The Homework Club was a great opportunity to finish all of my assignments so that I could fully enjoy my free time, which we fortunately had a lot of. The accommodations and the food were pleasant. To conclude, I deeply enjoyed my stay at SPC and was sad to leave campus and all of my new friends. I will definitely come back to ORA next year!”

“Oxford Royale Academy was the best choice I’ve made in my academic life. The teachers there are so passionate about their subject, it’s always a pleasure to go to class and learn from them. But most of all, the other students are the nicest, smartest and most open minded people I’ve ever met. There’s a mutual respect and trust for one another that’s simply amazing. I’ve learned more about myself at ORA than anywhere else. It helps you to grow and opens your mind in so many levels. It’s just the best place with the best people.”
