An inspirational summer
A summer is a precious opportunity and a valuable investment. This year has been a great challenge, and the sacrifices made by young people have been significant. There has been little space for fun, freedom, inspiration and ambition. This summer presents an opportunity for students to reimagine their futures and set about achieving their goals. At ORA, we have always committed to creating summer programmes that offer students new perspectives and unique opportunities that go beyond anything they would experience in school. This year the social side of the programme will be more valuable than ever; students have missed the buzz of learning together, the ideas that come from teamwork, and the energy that comes from socialising.
What we can guarantee is that by the end of a summer with us, students will have been academically energised; they will feel more confident in their personal ambitions and their ability to achieve them. They will have made friends from all over the world, and met inspiring role models who are already leaders in their fields.
Pastoral care
Our first priority is, and will always be, your child’s safety and well-being. We have, over 15 years, cared for many thousands of students from all over the world, many of whom are embarking on their first independent international trip. Our parental feedback is consistently outstanding. This wealth of experience, and our team of dedicated year-round staff, has allowed us to find an effective balance between the firm and clear boundaries students need to thrive, and the opportunity for challenge, freedom and fun that all students seek.
Our policies are clear and our expectations extremely high: for more details please see policies page for details. With these expectations, and the consequences of infringement, made clear from the outset, students find themselves safe to explore and enjoy all that their summer programme and destination has to offer. We work closely with you, parents and guardians, from the moment you decide to consider an ORA summer, through the booking process, and throughout the programme, to ensure we understand all individual requirements in advance, that you have every reassurance you require, and are able to contact designated staff members throughout the programme.
That support begins now. If you have any questions at all, our team are waiting to hear from you!
