“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:)”

“ORA is a great place to be, Whether classroom or cosy marquee. To learn is but a guarantee Even if you just sightsee Our rooms were those of bourgeoisies And our food was serves by smiley bees. I felt so happy ! Oh so full of glee! I thought I'd seen the old banshee!”

“The environment was great and the courses very interesting. We were given enough liberty. The only change i would like to suggest is the food which was not good”

“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!”

“I'd say that the medical school preparation course was excellent. Although I wouldn't be applying to university till 2 years later, I find that this course helped me narrow down my choices on various things. All in all, I enjoyed it thoroughly.”

Dear Wen Yung, Thank you for your kind words. Medical School Preparation is a very popular course, probably because it is so helpful for getting a taste of Medicine, a subject which is not generally taught at school. We're pleased that this has helped you as you start to think about university choices and applications. Best wishes, Max Oxford Royale Academy

“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

It was also an amazing way to make new friends from all around the world and learn about the different cultures. This has been one of my favorite summers because of this program!”

“I really enjoyed the time in Oxford and beeing there with so many people from many dirfferent countries. I enjoyed everything: the afternoon and evening excersices, Saturdays and Sundays, the morning lessons and afternoon workshops, the Sports Days, the Musicals and everyone was really kind, strict but kind ;-). I would recommend it to everyone who wants to improve his or her English or wants to do somethigelse (that ORA offer). I believe I'm going to do it again next year or after school (but longer than 4 weeks).”
