“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

Hi Assyl, Thank you for your feedback! We value academic progress highly, but personal growth is equally important and rewarding. We're glad that you were able to experience both. 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!”

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.

“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!”

“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
