**More About Oxford Royale**:
Our unique educational model is all about partnership. Every student has unique skills, strengths, and dreams - our role is to mentor and guide them, to introduce and explore new concepts, and to help them realise their true potential.

Oxford Royale was founded nearly 20 years ago, with a vision to offer young people a broader and richer learning experience, and to drive their success in paths that they may not even have considered. Over the last 18 years, OR has welcomed more than 30,000 students from over 175 nations and has become a three-time winner of the Queen's Award for Enterprise, and a five-time winner of the BETA Award for best educational product.

Students can choose from 15 courses, all designed to help them gain confidence, experience, and a competitive edge. They can experience life in an Oxford or Cambridge University college, in the heart of cosmopolitan London, or on campus at an Ivy League institution. They visit some of the most heritage-rich locations in the United Kingdom and the United States of America, taste a degree in medicine, engage with contemporary global issues, explore business and more - whilst always working with peers from around the globe.

We have built an outstanding, talented team of admissions executives, teachers, counsellors, and operations managers, who all share our vision to inspire young people to reach their potential. Over many years, our approach has been proven to motivate young people to achieve more than they ever believed possible.
