Mia’s review

My name is Mia-Maria Christo and I have studied Law and Politics at Oxford Royale. I can really say that these two weeks I’ve spent were unforgettable because of the inspiring courses and the endless memories I have created with people from all around a world that became family at some point. Thank you to everyone who made this experience truly amazing: our principal, my teacher, the staff, the counselors and of course, my friends and I really hope to be able to come back next year!💙

Oxford Royale Review 5 stars

Oxford Royale was a very pleasant experience with multi-cultured staff and students, it was also very safe with them enforcing their 0 alcohol, and smoking tolerance. The classes were fun and Oxford royale proposed a wide range of activities for the students to choose from

Great experience for our daughter

This was our first time with Oxford Royale. Our 15 year old daughter signed up for a two week course in medicine. She not only loved the international atmosphere but also the high quality of the content. Even if the price for this program is quite high, we believe it was worth it and has certainly contributed to our daughter’s personal development in a great way.

Unforgettable experience with a…

Unforgettable experience with a wonderful staff, extraordinary teachers and in general great people. I met some friends along the way whom I'm still talking with. Especially an extra note. I was sick the first week and couldn't attend the London sightseeing and was feeling really bad. But the staff helped me throughout the way and I recovered very quickly.

I am content with my experience and would suggest Oxford Royale to everyone

Wonderful experience

I had a wonderful experience in which I got the opportunity to understand more about what it's like to follow the medicine career. I not only learned more about it but also got the chance to put into practice what I had learned. But it was specially incredible because I got the chance to meet amazing people from all over the world.

Invaluable moments!!!!!

Everything was perfectly organized and all students left with great experience and confidence! My daughter was crying all the way back to our country because she couldn't believe that such great moments have reached to their end. Congratulations to mr Ian about his endless support! I have read a saying which says "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the MOMENTS that take our BREATH AWAY"!!!! Having this in mind I must admit that you have given our children invaluable, unforgettable moments that will last for a lifetime!!!!!! Perfect lectures, very good instructors, safe and controlled environment! A perfect place where beautiful friendships have begun and we hope that last in time!!!!

Five stars for a lifetime, golden experience.

Five stars! The whole course was very well organised. From picking up our daughter from the airport, to supervising her and teaching her subjects that matter, to returning her to the airport for departure, everything was carefully calculated and smoothly executed. The topics covered where excellent. Our daughter was amazed. There was free time to get to know other students. They discussed, they explored, they discovered Cambridge, they played. Our daughter was sad to leave and she whishes she could attend the programme again!

My child had a very positive experience both academically and socially

My child had a very positive experience, both academically and socially. He came home very happy and wished the course had lasted longer. The only point I would like to mention is that communication after the registration, when we needed further information or clarifications, was not possible

Program Seriousness

The high quality material, the seriousness of classes, a few students per class, and a qualified professor made this academic experience excellent.

Feedback for summer school

It helped my son clear up any doubts he had about his future career plans. Living in a foreign country improved his self-confidence.
