At Oxford Online School, we offer the British curriculum online for students.
Those aged 11 start with Key Stage 3, and by 14, they advance to our International GCSE courses. Our International GCSE programmes are fully accredited, combining adaptability with a strong educational base.

What does a modern online British secondary education aim to achieve?

The main goal of a modern online British secondary education is to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of today’s world. It goes beyond academic achievement by developing well-rounded individuals who can think critically, communicate effectively, and navigate complex social and cultural environments.

• Holistic Development: Lessons are designed not just to cover the British curriculum, but to foster independence, resilience, and adaptability.
• Skills for Life: Students gain practical skills—from research and collaboration to digital literacy—that serve them well at university, in professional environments, and in broader life.
• Global Citizenship: There’s a strong focus on intercultural awareness and respect, preparing students to thrive and contribute meaningfully wherever they go, whether that’s studying in Cambridge, working with a startup in Berlin, or volunteering with UNICEF.
• Emotional Intelligence: Critical and creative thinking is paired with an emphasis on emotional literacy, empowering students to build positive relationships and engage thoughtfully with the world around them.

In short, the aim is to equip young people not just for exams, but for lifelong success and fulfilment.

Academic Support Tailored to Every Student

We understand that every learner’s journey is unique, which is why we closely track each student’s progress throughout their time with us. Our teachers and school leadership team regularly review academic performance to ensure that any need for additional support is spotted early—so no one falls through the cracks.

For students who could use a little extra help, we offer focused Reading & Writing support sessions at Key Stage 3 and 4. These small-group sessions are designed to build confidence and target skills that may need strengthening.

Additionally, one-to-one tuition is available for those who benefit from more personalised guidance. Whether your child needs a quick boost in a particular subject or ongoing, tailored instruction, our team works with you to find the right approach, ensuring everyone gets the support they need to thrive.
