An international online school for families in Cyprus
Oxford Online School provides live, structured British education for students aged 8 to 18 based in Cyprus. Whether you are an expat family, a British national living abroad or a family looking for an alternative to local schooling, we offer a full school experience delivered entirely online.
A proper school structure, entirely online
We are a fully online British school based in Oxford. Our students follow a timetabled week of live lessons with qualified specialist teachers, progressing through the British curriculum from primary through to A Levels. Cyprus has a large British expat community, and we are well-practised at supporting families who want to maintain British curriculum continuity while living abroad.
What makes our online school stand out
Online lessons with the feel of a real school
Students follow a structured weekly timetable of live lessons, each taught by a subject specialist. Lessons take place during the UK school day, keeping students in a consistent routine and progressing alongside their class. Students join each lesson directly, take part in real-time discussions and receive guidance from their teacher. Lesson recordings are also available from Year 10, making it easier to revisit content before exams.
Why Cyprus works well for UK school hours
Cyprus is in the Eastern European time zone (GMT+2 in winter, GMT+3 in summer), which puts it close to UK time and makes it one of the more straightforward locations for following a UK school timetable. Lessons fall within a comfortable window for most families. Download the time zone guide for a full breakdown of how school hours map to Cyprus local time.
For expat families and those seeking British education
Oxford Online School is a strong option for British expat families in Cyprus who want to keep their children on track with the UK curriculum, as well as international families aiming for GCSE, A Level or UK university pathways. It also works well for families who move between countries and want an education that remains stable regardless of location. If you would like to talk through whether it is the right fit for your child, the admissions team is ready to help.
A programme for every year group
Oxford Online School takes students from Year 4 to Year 13. Each year group has its own structured programme taught by subject specialists, giving students consistency and clear progression through every stage.
Important information for Cyprus families
Cyprus has compulsory schooling laws and families should confirm their child's registration status with the local Ministry of Education before using Oxford Online School as a primary education provider. EU residents and expats may have different obligations. The Republic of Cyprus operates a separate education system from Northern Cyprus. Our admissions team can help you think through your situation and point you in the right direction.
