Academy Royale International Reviews 

Excellent experience

My son has had an unforgettable summer experience. The courses were indeed substantial and beneficial.

Fantastic experience, I'd recommend it to any school kids looking to gain some insight into oversees study

My son recently spent two unforgettable weeks at the Oxford Royal Summer Camp, exploring the field of engineering, and I can confidently say he came back with more than we ever expected.
Not only did he thoroughly enjoy the academic side of the program, which was both engaging and well-structured, but he also had the unique opportunity to experience what it’s like to live the university lifestyle in such a historic and inspiring setting.
It was his first time traveling alone, and the camp provided a safe and supportive environment for him to grow independently. He returned more confident, social, and open-minded ; having met peers from all over the world and formed meaningful friendships that broadened his cultural horizons. These connections were instrumental in helping him step out of his comfort zone and socialize more comfortably.
Overall, this experience has had a lasting positive impact on both his academic interests and personal development. I highly recommend Oxford Royal to any parent looking to give their child a truly enriching and memorable summer.

The company is truly faithful to what it proposes. All points were delivered with unwavering professionalism.

Our son did the 16 to 18 years old Medicine program in Oxford at Oxford Royale this summer. He was really happy there from the first till the last day. The first day our son told us that he had already made friends. He had a busy schedule while being in Oxford learning in and outside lectures from doctors and doing fun activities afterwards like playing tennis, football, swimming and hanging out with friends in the vicinity of the campus in Oxford city. I liked the rule that the children had to be on campus and in their rooms by 10:30pm and that this was followed very well. They had fun in a safe and healthy way. Oxford Royale took care of them very well and the children were so happy based on the stories and photos.

The program has given our son the motivation to study hard during his final two school years and the experience confirmed what he thought, that he has a real passion for Medicine. He very much looks forward to studying in England at university. Thank you to all the Oxford Royale staff for the wonderful experience and memories that Sebastian will carry from his time in Oxford. I am sure he will keep several of the friendships he has made this summer.

The students were well cared for and everything was well organised.
My child had a fabulous experience applying his knowledge in different and practical ways with like minded students from around the world.
Our contact person, Lisa was terrific, going above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.

I would like to share my experience of participating in the “Business, Innovation and Entrepreneurship” courses organized by Oxford Royal from July 6 to July 19, 2025. My expectations were 100% fulfilled, it was a great two weeks. I liked absolutely everything: the course, assignments and projects, a friendly atmosphere and extracurricular activities. I've met a lot of great people from all over the world. It was a truly memorable and useful experience.
I would also like to express my personal gratitude to Anna Rybak. You promptly responded to all our requests and helped us solve and find answers to all our questions. Your support is invaluable!

Tarek had a great experience, He learnt what engineering meant, and made lots of new friends, thank you so much fir making it a great experience

Best experience ever, not only studies but you make amazing friends while having amazing equipment to work with and its a huge big start to help you know what you wanna do in the future

Amazing experience - my son had an incredible time and would recommend.

great experience; lots to learn; cultural exchange ; young people well looked after ; maybe food to be improved a little

Our child enjoyed the explore medicine experience and meeting like-minded kids from around the globe.

While I didn't experience it directly, my daughter shared that she thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and cultural immersion. She highlighted how the program pushed her to think critically and creatively, alongside the high-quality instruction, engaging activities, and vibrant social aspects.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Partnership manager Anna Rybak for her exceptional support and dedication.
Throughout our time with the school, we faced several unexpected situations — including a cancelled flight and urgent schedule changes. Anna was always available, responded quickly, offered practical and often creative solutions, and truly helped us navigate through it all.
She’s a rare kind of professional who doesn’t just respond politely — she actually solves problems.
Approachable, reliable, and genuinely helpful, working with her was a real relief.
Thanks to her efforts, we were able to handle even the most difficult moments smoothly. I’m truly grateful.

Well organised, safe, and students had a blast.

Chaperone Experience
As a chaperone, I truly enjoyed the experience. The staff were excellent — very welcoming, kind, and helpful throughout. A special thanks to Dan and Georgina, who provided outstanding support with my students and were always available to assist with anything that came up.

Parental Feedback:
Some parents shared feedback based on their previous experiences with other summer programmes:

They would have appreciated a pre-departure meeting with someone from Oxford Royale, to clarify details such as:

The actual daily activity schedule

What kind of clothing to pack

Laundry arrangements

Places nearby where students can buy food or essentials

At The U for You, we provided a general meeting for families, but due to limited detailed information, we could only share an overview.

Photos and Graduation Access:
Some parents suggested the possibility of having a photographer not only at the graduation but also during other key activities throughout the programme. They would like access to an online platform where they could view and purchase these photos.

Regarding graduations, as a chaperone, some parents expected me to attend their child’s ceremony. While it’s not possible to attend all at the same time, it would be helpful to have a pre-assigned space or seat for chaperones at the graduations.

One of my students, along with classmates, submitted a formal request to change their teacher (specifically Tina Holdbrook-Smith). As far as I know, the change was not implemented. A parent followed up persistently by email regarding the matter.

Academic Feedback:
According to the students, they felt that the teacher was learning the material along with them, and they would have preferred someone with more expertise on the subject.

At The U for You, we can help manage expectations by clearly informing parents ahead of time that this is a summer programme, not an accredited academic course. We can explain that while students engage with specific topics, the focus is on gaining international experience, cultural exposure, and inspiration — rather than academic specialization or certification.

College Management:
I had a group of four 17-year-old students staying at Keble College who were not initially allowed to leave the premises during their free time. We had to request permission for them to go out, even though students at Queen’s and Balliol did not have this issue.
It would be ideal to have uniform rules across colleges and ensure staff are informed about students' permissions to leave during free time (up to curfew).

Overall Experience: 10/10
The experience was incredible for my students — they returned home happy, inspired, and full of great memories. They made friends from all over the world and loved immersing themselves not only in British culture, but also in the cultures of their international classmates.

They consistently spoke very highly of the kindness and helpfulness of the campus staff. Among the highlights they mentioned were the inspiring Brian Cox talk, the beauty of Oxford, and the opportunity to explore London. It was truly a meaningful and unforgettable experience for all of them.

As an agency, I feel very confident continuing to offer Oxford Royale to our families. It is an excellent programme with great value, and we would love to have Oxford Royale represented at our fair in September 2025. This will be a fantastic opportunity to keep recruiting students for future summer camps and to strengthen our collaboration.

Very good company with fantastic courses across the world. I learned a lot during the two-week course at Yale. I met plenty of great people, and I felt like a Yale University student for this time. I loved it!
