At iBOS, we are at the forefront of online education, redefining what it means to learn in the digital age. As the only online British school with a physical schools’ infrastructure, we deliver all our live and interactive lessons from our school base in the heart of London.
At iBOS, we understand how important the early years of education are for our student’s development. Our online School is exceptionally proud to offer students the opportunity to study with us in their earliest years when they begin their learning journey (Key Stage 1, Years 1 and 2). Our teachers follow a multi-stream approach at this level with flexibility to cover topics holistically rather than as separate subject hours. We embed British values into their learning, alongside the improvement of linguistic, mathematical, scientific, social, physical and artistic skills.
At iBOS, we understand how important our students’ holistic experience is to develop them as individuals, and positive members of our global society, enhancing what Dylan Wiliam calls the ‘lived experience’ of our students. We have high aspirations for every student to achieve outstanding academic progress by focusing on moulding our pupils into lifelong learners.
We are excited to offer students the opportunity to study with us at the Primary level (Key Stage 2, Years 3-6) in online homeschool programs.
At iBOS, we believe that the curriculum drives the learning experience of all of our students. We have high aspirations for our students to achieve outstanding academic progress by focusing on moulding our pupils into lifelong learners. Key Stage 3 (years 7-9) prepares students for the next stage of their studies when they will take iGCSEs (Key stage 4).
Our online school has a broad and rich curriculum that challenges each student. The curriculum within a range of subjects and courses inspires students to have a love of learning and helps them gain invaluable knowledge, understanding and skills in every aspect of their education.
The transition from iGCSEs to Sixth-Form to study International A-Levels can be challenging and daunting for many students. In Sixth-Form you study fewer subjects, allowing students to learn subject areas in-depth within a more specified curriculum.
At iBOS, we take our students through this transitional period with ease and provide them with the necessary, important advice to make the correct decision regarding further education options.
Hear the truth
One of my favourite things about iBOS is that we are taught many different languages, which increases my self confidence and makes us familiar with different cultures. I love getting to see my friends from all over the world every day.
The faculty does everything possible to make the lessons interactive, informative and fun. I can spend more time on my hobbies and interests because studying online makes it a lot easier to manage my time.
We feel so fortunate that my daughters are at IBOS, especially during this COVID-19 pandemic when so many schools had to close their doors...
My favourite subjects are English and Chemistry, they help me improve my English language skills a lot. I feel like studying at iBOS will really help me achieve my goals and get the best results in my iGCSEs.
iBOS is a really well planned online school that allows us to study happily. I enjoy all of my lessons, and the teachers make all of the lessons fun. The live classes mean we can ask questions and talk to the teachers just like in a traditional school.
I was very impressed by the way that the school does everything possible to make the lessons interactive, informative and fun...
We are a pioneering online school, we feel that what makes us special is our systems ease of use, adaptability and flexibility. iBOS is recognised by the Council of International School (CIS). All of our teachers are UK qualified and deliver lessons from our school site in Clapham, London. We are also a registered Pearsons Exam centre.
In these times, research shows that almost every school worldwide is implementing the use of IT and technology as part of their schemes of work where possible, and during the next few decades there will be many more students attending online schools worldwide.
Here at iBOS, we take online learning to heart and as our primary teaching method. We have mastered live and real-time video lesson integration in our teaching. Our IT infrastructure is more advanced and reliable than the majority of schools that try to achieve what we set out to do.
Our teaching staff use a wide range of tools to facilitate their teaching, such as interactive whiteboards, live presentation delivery, video cameras and recordings, and screen sharing. Using these tools, our teachers are able to teach lessons to students internationally via an online web-link system.
Online education represents an immensely exciting pathway to the future of learning, as young students enjoy working online and using the latest technology to enhance their learning from the comfort of their home.
Our school provides an effective form of learning, without any hindrances, allowing pupils to learn efficiently, as well as giving them time to do all the things they love. At iBOS, we have pioneered a new way of teaching through the medium of interactive online school learning.
All the lessons are live and interactive with all of our teachers being based in London and qualified in the UK. They do not work from their homes but deliver their lessons from our school building. This gives better control of the learning environment and is more secure from a safeguarding perspective. This is why we are recognised as a DfE and CIS school.
We are based in Clapham, London, United Kingdom, and teach via the internet lessons directly from our classrooms here at the iBOS school building. Our teachers have their own classroom and we have all the facilities of a traditional school.
iBOS is an online primary, secondary and sixth form school for students aged from 6 to 19.
