A Day in the life of a student at iBOS
Students enrolled at iBOS experience the ultimate advantage of modern education: the ability to wake up right before the school day begins and attend class without wasting valuable time commuting. We eliminate the morning rush, providing access to an accredited **British Curriculum** delivered by some of the best-qualified teachers across the UK, all from the comfort and safety of home.
A Day in the Life of an iBOS Student
Our structured schedule is designed to maximise learning efficiency while ensuring time remains for personal pursuits, hobbies, and family life. All times are UK-based, allowing for easy global coordination:
7:15 AM: Daily Assembly and Tutor Time
The school day commences with a focused 15-minute tutor time or assembly. This time is crucial for students to catch up on school announcements, focus on pastoral care topics, and build rapport with their dedicated tutor. Last year, for example, our student community created a school anthem that now forms part of our weekly routine!
7:30 AM: Live Lesson 1 Begins
Students log in to their first live lesson via our secure online portal. The portal serves as the central hub for all academic activities—students can access their personalised timetables, find links to live lessons, view assignments, submit work, and receive direct feedback from their subject teachers.
9:30 AM: Morning Break and Refuelling
The end of the second lesson marks the first structured break of the day. This is the perfect time for students to enjoy a healthy snack, refuel their energy, and refresh their minds for the subsequent lessons.
9:45 AM – 11:45 AM: Core Academic Sessions
This period hosts core lessons across all year groups. Our **highly qualified teachers** ensure seamless instruction, meticulously tailoring content to meet individual student needs. This personalised approach is made highly effective by our strict small class sizes, maintaining an excellent **1:15 student-to-teacher ratio**.
11:45 AM: Lunchtime
Students enjoy a full hour for lunch. This extended break allows students to eat without rushing, engage in healthy physical activity, interact socially with their peers, and form **lasting international friendships** within the iBOS community.
12:45 PM: Independent Study & Pastoral Guidance
While most live classes conclude around this time, the afternoon is dedicated to monitored independent study and support. Younger students receive guidance from their tutors on effective study techniques and have the crucial opportunity to ask any remaining questions.
13:45 – 14:45: Enrichment and Extracurriculars
Once a week, students participate in an enrichment session designed to develop **social skills, confidence in communication**, and pursue personal interests. iBOS offers a diverse range of extracurricular clubs, including:
- Maths Booster
- Book Club
- Newspaper Club
- Debating Club
- Languages Clubs
- Homework Club
- Model UN
- Music Club
- And many more tailored activities.
As soon as the structured day concludes, students can immediately transition to pursuing their **hobbies, sports training, or personal downtime**. The benefit of the online model is a feeling of being refreshed, not drained, allowing our students to genuinely enjoy their learning experience.
What Our Students Say About the Schedule
“Studying online saves a lot of time and you can easily find the balance in your life between hobbies and academics.”
“I can wake up just 15 minutes before the lesson and not waste time getting ready to go to school.”
“iBOS allows me to practice hobbies which I couldn’t because I was so tired after physical school.”
We look forward to welcoming you and your child to the **iBOS global community** very soon!
