Redefining learning for the 21st Century, by fusing the best elements of a British education with cutting edge online learning, enables My Online Schooling to stay ahead. James Matthews investigates

My Online Schooling is a British online school that provides a full-time education from Key-Stage 2 to A-Level. Having adapted the best aspects of bricks-and-mortar schooling to the online environment, the school offers a rich, inclusive and internationally-accessible British education where our pupils are respected as individuals, enjoy learning and are empowered to thrive in the 21st Century.

My Online Schooling was founded in 2016 on the principles of innovation, inclusivity and creativity. Since then, they’ve become one of the world’s fastest growing online British schools, with an established track-record of transforming both the educational and personal lives of young people and their families across the globe. Today, they’re proud to provide over 1,500 pupils across both our EMEA (Europe, Middle-East and Africa) and Asia Pacific schools with a flexible, supportive and comprehensive education.

As a pupil at My Online Schooling, your child will receive a broad and progressive curriculum that can be accessed from home. They will choose from a diverse range of academic, creative and vocational subjects. They will also have the opportunity to study modern foreign languages such as French, Spanish, Arabic and Mandarin, which are all offered to both Junior and Secondary pupils. After Year 9, your child can progress on to the International GCSE and A-Level courses to achieve the qualifications that will set them up for exciting future opportunities in work, life and further study. Through the fully interactive lessons, small class sizes, transformational teachers and additional support provision, the school ensures pupils receive the individual attention and guidance they need to truly flourish.

As part of their ongoing commitment to inclusion and accessibility, they were delighted to introduce direct alternatives for children with additional learning needs, and feature specialised lessons such as reading, writing and numeracy support, as well as sessions led a specially appointed Autism Specialist to help pupils understand and navigate the world around them. A Hub for Learning & Wellbeing Support was established last year. The Hub offers further targeted support and can be taken alongside or separately from the main curricular courses, giving pupils the option to build a curriculum that aligns with their individual needs and educational goals.

More than ever before, the ever-changing environments and challenges today’s young people face is recsognised. Although My Online Schooling is entirely based online, the well-being and holistic development of pupils lies at the core of everything. The My Online Schooling Learning & Wellbeing Support Hub also offers sessions focused on anxiety management and mindfulness to help pupils understand and connect with their emotions and to promote overall wellbeing during the busy school week. One-to-one counselling with our School Counsellor is also available, if required, for more in-depth, personalised mental health support.

The school are proud to serve a growing international community of thriving young learners and pupils are uniquely placed to forge friendships with classmates from all corners of the globe in virtual classrooms, bringing an international perspective to every lesson. More than this, regular school assemblies, virtual common rooms, house meetings and after school clubs all help to facilitate that much needed peer-to-peer connection, taking the ‘distance’ out of remote learning.

My Online Schooling have set out to transform the educational narrative. Through an innovative and progressive approach, your child will not only be academically prepared, but will be an enquiring and caring citizen of the 21st century with the emotional literacy to engage in creating a better future for all.
