Academy Royale International

Academy Royale International (ARI) is a residential academic summer school that began in Oxford in 2004; 2027 is its 22nd summer. Its programmes for teenagers run in colleges of the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, and from 2027 also at Marlborough College. ARI is run by a company registered in England that contracts with these universities for the use of their facilities and with their tutors, but does not operate under the aegis of the University of Oxford or the other institutions. The school states that it has more than 50,000 alumni from over 175 nationalities.
