More than 5 million Brits live overseas. For many of them, school means an international school that offers a ‘British experience’, with a curriculum that prepares pupils for exams like GCSEs or A-Levels. In fact, there are over 2,000 of these schools around the world, following the English National Curriculum so their pupils are prepared for life back in the UK when they return.
But it comes at a price, and it’s rising – with a 1.9% increase in the last year. Today, the average cost of international schooling is around £11,900 per year, with some demanding £30,500. My Online Schooling offers a cost-effective alternative.
With ever-faster broadband speeds and ever-greater access, together with huge advances in technology in just a few years, online education is now a practical and effective path for your child’s development. What started as ‘distance learning’ now offers a host of benefits at a reasonable cost. Our approach offers the same features you’ll find in a traditional classroom in an international school:
Face-to-face teaching by a qualified and experienced teacher focused on your child’s best interests
The opportunity for guided self-study with materials provided by a teacher
A quiet, disruption-free and safe environment
The opportunity to ask a teacher questions and seek clarification for reinforcement
Direct feedback from the teacher on your child’s progress
School reports sent home each term
Lessons designed and delivered around the English National Curriculum
Preparation for exams
Access to a range of interactive IT systems that support learning
Regular help and support from our Management Team
Put simply, it’s an approach to education that delivers the same key aspects of learning, with the added advantage of being accessible from anywhere in the world – and all for a fraction of the cost of international school fees. Your child attends live lessons, taught by qualified teachers and following the English National Curriculum, preparing for exams which they sit at a local centre which you can find in over 120 countries.
