Best Summer school ever!!

I had been last Summer to Oxford Royale Academy's summer school and it was one of the best experiences I had had in my life. The staff were amazing, the lessons were interesting and the place was marvellous. There were students from all around the world. I can say for sure, that I'll sign to the next year. Moreover, there were afternoon activities that were very fun. In the summer school, you connect with people very fast and easily, and you have a great bond with them.

A great way to familiarize yourself with Oxford.

I have always wanted to visit Oxford University for a college visit. And therefore I participated in this program. I chose to study medicine and I learnt in detail what this University is looking for. It was a fascinating experience for me as I not only got to know the college but also its magnitude. I also enjoyed the views from people in Oxford as I pretended to be an Oxford student haha. Overall, my highlight of the trip was the debate I participated in. It's called the "Great ORA debate." . If you are joining this program, this event is worth more than the money you pay. Try to become a speaker like me, If you are reading this I am pretty sure you'll already qualified as this proves your interest towards Oxford hehe. Oh and one tip from me is that you should definitely visit Ben's Cookies there (try the milk chocolate chip)! You will be crying on the last day by the way. The PD tell you that during the orientation, no one believes it but it's true, I just confirmed it Steve haha. Thanks for reading this, now go study.

What would you improve about this program?
Can put a little more academic content like an exam at the end. However, excellent organization.

Oxford Royale 2018 Summer camp review

i found that the oxford royale summer camp experience was one of a kind. The courses were incredibly inspiring and were packed with information. I can also say as a person who aspires to work in the field of medicine, that studying an introduction to medicine was extremely helpful and taught me skills i will hopefully use later in life. For example i was taught how to take someone's blood pressure and how to identify symptoms of different diseases. On top of all of this the camp also allowed me to make friends with people all over the world ranging from Greece to New York. I also loved the activities hosted by the councillors, my favourite one being punting. The only thing i would change was that i would decrease the amount of registrations per day when we are just staying on campus as at times the large amount of registrations seemed slightly unnecessary.

English Programm, Intriduction in medicine

Hello, I am a mother of two children and I would share like a parent my emotions with those who are willing to see the best future for their children. Mine were 3 times in Oxford Royal Academy. Fantastic experience, wonderful teaching stuff always ready to help You , giving a friendly and lovely attitude , showing their best in all, and the result was great! My son was the first who joined ORA for his first English Summer Programm, he was sharing the unforgettable experience, activities, and quizzes, he was eager to return back, so next year he had his course: Introduction in Medicine with Mr. Yan Forester, a wonderful man, who almost "remade " my son, in a good way of this word: my son arrived happy, motivated and more interested in medicine. That helped him to finish successfully his college in Paris and to be admitted to a a scientific lycee! This summer, my daughter attended the English Programm in Ascot, Snt Mary' s School, and her English really impressed me, she had friends( though she is only 11), she manages to communicate now without obstacles. Her attitude was and continues to be serious, she was so delighted , sharing her wonderful moments in Ascot, photos, activities, trips to the London Zoo, my son , too!!! And Flemming' s museum, and Safari parc. Perfect organization, activities combined with studies, isn't it great for Your child? I beleive, yes, definitely! Wish to everyone good luck, and the same experience. Many thanks to the teaching stuff of ORA, congratulations and luck in their great work in future!
With big respect
Victoria Deveza, mother of Victor and Anastasia

My summer at Oxford

My experience with Oxford Royale Academy has been amazing. I attended it in 2017, in 2018, and I am planning on coming back in 2019. During my stay in Oxford, I have made new friends from all over the world, I have learned a lot of things inside and outside the classroom, but most of all, it was the most fun two weeks of my whole life; and I made memories that will last a lifetime. It was way more than what I expected it to be.

What would you improve about this program?
I don’t think that this program can be improved in any way because it is already perfect!

Oxford Royale Academy Experience Review

It is nearly impossible to phrase this life changing experience, my summer in ORA, in a concise description. During the 2 weeks that flew by, I had the opportunity to grow not only academically but as a person. I met amazing people in and outside of the classroom who have provided me with memories that I shall remember and cherish for the rest of my life. I arrived there excited and left a new person, so happy for everything I had acquired, from knowledge to new friendships, yet so sad to be leaving it all behind. I can say that I was definitely not disappointed with what I lived during the time I spent there and would undoubtedly recommend it to any teenager willing to have the time of their life.

Oxford Royal Academy, Cambridge (Clare College)

I had loads of fun meeting people from all around the world. It was intimidating at first but after the icebreakers activity on the first day, we all got along quite well. We had roommates, but unfortunately, my roommate and I had to share a single bedroom with two beds squeezed into it. Literally squeezed. I wasn't very satisfied with my room, especially considering that I had been to other rooms of my friends and there had been much bigger ones occupied by single persons who didn't get a roommate. Otherwise, I had a great experience. We had a zoolab day where we got to pet live animals and learn about them. We went to London and saw the play Kinky Boots. The classes were held at the Mathematics Centre and it was a lovely area to learn in. All of the teachers were very knowledgeable and fascinated by their subjects, and most of the teachers were able to successfully convey information in a way that wasn't boring to the student. The curfew I found was necessary, but even within our housing units we were not allowed to interact with students across the hall from us, which I did not understand and found somewhat unfair. Also, the wifi was not impressive.

My Experience with ORA Summer Course at Oxford Uni in 2018

My experience at Oxford was absolutely phenomenal. It was a lovely time that I will never forget! I learned so much not just academically but also from the people I was surrounded by. The course itself, the trips and extra curricular activities combined to make it a special two week summer time for me. Oxford is such a beautiful place that inspires you to learn. I hope to come back and I do not hesitate to highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn but also have a great time in an amazing environment.
