Ive attended ORA for two consecutive years 2011 and 2012 and both have been a happy memory that I cherish forever! The friends I've made are still close to me 5 years later and I couldnt be more thankful to have friends from all around the world! Both stays in St.Catherines college and Balliol college were amazing and I wish I could return! Even the course was excellent and prepared me so well for university in the UK. Would definitely recommend!!

I had a lot of fun and made new friends from all around the world but unfortunately the law class i attended didn't provide enough information and help regarding the LNAT and Personal statements. Besides these two errors everything was wonderful. Yarnton Manor was a beautiful place and i miss it already. All the house deans and staff were incredibly friendly I would love to be a part of the ORA team someday.

I found ORA absolutely amazing when I went - I made lots of friends quite quickly and we still talk even now! There was a lot of choice in terms of what people could do during free time, and all of the staff were really lovely. I found the lessons interesting, and everything we covered felt relevant and well explained. All in all, I would definitely recommend an ORA course to anyone considering going on one this summer.

ORA was amazing. Not only did the classes engage me but the people as well. I learned so much from so many people in different cultures. I had my friends with whom I spent 24/7 with. I cannot wait to attend again! I still think of the two weeks I spent at ORA and I can't help but feel nostalgic. I think of every little memory, even waking up early and staying up late trying to finish my work and I would not trade those memories for anything. I am so happy to keep in touch with my friends from ORA, we are all planning to meet up again.

Attending ORA last year was one of the best decisions of my life. It was life changing, I immensely enjoyed my time in the loveliest college in the world.
My two weeks were action packed with surprises and fun. It opened my horizons to the world, and I learned so much during my summer course. I made lots of friends from different parts of the world and am still in contact with them. I just couldn't thank my parents enough for sending me to ORA.

When I arrived at ORA, I thought it was going to be just like every other summer camp/program I've been to. I thought it was going to be boring, the people there would be rigid and mean and that I would make no friends. Well...I was wrong. My time at Oxford Royale Academy was as fun as it was beneficial. I made an amazing group of friends, with whom I still keep in touch with, and met so many different, interesting people from all over the world, whether they be students or counselors, they always had amazing stories to tell and insightful questions about my culture and where I come from. ORA helped me get over my social anxiety and my fear of public speaking because when I was there, the shy, quiet girl that I have been for my entire life, suddenly went flying out the window. Before I knew it, I was just walking up to people and starting conversations with them, and actually speaking in front of my entire class during a presentation, and it didn't even feel the slightest bit hard. That is why, my summer at oxford Royale Acadamy was one that I will never forget.

Ever since I've attended ORA over the summer and took the psychology course, I have been engaged with topics relating to psychology and noting things about psychology whenever I am able to. The courses which I took at ORA really helped me in finding new studies I am passionate about, as ORA offers different opportunities that you would usually receive at school. I also had lots of fun in my workshops, and I really did learn a lot from it. My public speaking and debate workshop greatly helped me with studies at school as well.

The environment isn't overly challenging, but there is enough material given for the student to really get a clear insight into the course they chose. Overall, the summer New Perspectives program surely lives up to its name!
