 The World’s Best Summer Camp for Teens: Oxford Royale Academy
Still deciding what to do with your summer holidays?
We think we might have just the thing for you at Oxford. You’ll stay in one of England’s most beautiful
and historic cities. The university buildings, the parks, and the peaceful river make the summer camp
setting perfect. At Oxford Royale Academy, we organise stimulating academic summer
programmes designed to bring out the best in all our students. We offer world-class teaching from teachers
who inspire you and want you to love the subjects you are studying. They do that using the latest
interactive learning techniques and by encouraging you to take an active role in your classes.
Although we’re very serious about helping you with your marks, we believe that it shouldn’t be all
work and no play. You are on holiday, after all! That’s why all our courses include a full programme of extra-
curricular activities. You can try new hobbies and have fun with your new friends. We’ll organise several
trips to famous English cities and sights so that you get some time to play the tourist when you need a
break from studying. Among the places you might visit are London, Shakespeare’s home town of Stratford-
upon-Avon, the elegant city of Bath and the mysterious prehistoric monument Stonehenge. And don’t
worry – there will be plenty of time for you to shop for souvenirs to take back home for family and friends!
One of the things that makes Oxford Royale Academy life so interesting is the fact that our students
come from all over the world. You have the chance to meet people from many different cultures, teaching
you about life in other countries and opening up your mind to new ideas. Strong friendships form during
every one of our courses, so you can make friends for life during your time with us.
