The School

About ORA

Oxford Royale Academy is a British company with a real passion for education. Each year our team works harder to compile stimulating and rewarding programmes for all ages, bringing together outstanding tutors (many of whom teach at Oxford), energetic counsellors, brilliant guest speakers and professional support staff. Oxford Royale Academy offers courses in English as a Foreign Language (EFL), various academic programmes, pre-university preparation courses, and a tennis academy.

Our Accreditation

Oxford Royale Academy is an accredited body with membership of the British Council, British Accreditation Council, English UK and Study UK. Rigorous quarterly checks and additional spot-checks are carried out by these organisations to asses teaching, study resources, premises, accommodation, welfare, publicity and safety and security for students. Our Head Office is at St. Catherine’s College; however we do not have any direct affiliation to The University of Oxford. We use university facilities through arrangements with individual colleges, and for this reason campus sites may differ from year to year.

What Our Previous Students Have to Say

Anja, Lena and Lukas spent two wonderful weeks in Oxford. They enjoyed everything and they will return as soon as possible. They were excited about the lessons, the trips and they liked everyone of the staff. And they benefitted from all the brilliant opportunities to get in contact with students from all over the world.

An incredible, unforgetable experience with lots of learning with enjoyable activities. You'll meet people you will never forget.

Upon her return home, when asked how her stay at the Oxford Royal Academy was, my 14 year old daughter simply answered: "Dad, these were the best two weeks of my life!"

Nabil (Father of Iman), Lebanon

The summer school was the perfect combination of work and play, with the most interesting courses and enthusiastic teachers as well as fun activities. I made a lot of new friends from all over the world whom I will stay close with for years to come. I couldn't have picked a better programme in the UK!

The courses at Oxford Royale Academy were everything I could have asked for. They were challenging, but at the same time fun. Studying in Oxford with ORA was an experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. It was definitely my best summer ever. The courses and the classes were excellent. My stay in the Oxford University served as guide for my future. The thing I liked the most about the course was the people: you get to meet people from all over the world and get to make new friends and share new experiences. The course is certainly an excellent experience and I would recommend it to everyone.

We have to say, on all fronts, we were thrilled beyond reason with the 'results' achieved and the marked enhancement on both boys. Their sense of confidence, their new treasured freindships, their new surge of desire for learning and the college environment they experienced, has left us in no doubt, that this investment in the mind and person, was probably the best investment we have ever made.

Carmel & Peter (Parents of Fergal and Robert), Ireland

Just being there and speaking English with all of the counsellors and other students a was great chance for me to improve my speaking and learn so much new vocabulary and grammar.
