Our school, iBOS, follows the UK's schooling system. In February 2024 we became the only Council of International Schools (CIS) accredited online school. In May 2024 we also became accreditated by the Department for Education (DfE) in the UK in collaboration with the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted).

Since its establishment, iBOS has welcomed numerous quality assurance organisations. As the sole accredited DfE and CIS online school, we look forward to hosting additional quality assurance bodies, both in the UK and internationally, to commemorate our achievements together.

When you choose to study at iBOS, you receive a similar education as at a boarding school in the UK. The reports issued by our school are recognised and attested by the Ministry of Education in the UAE, providing further assurance of the quality of education we offer.

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. Our younger students are taught the British National Curriculum and the older students study for international GCSEs and A-levels. We are not a tutoring service and we do not offer English as a Second language (ESL) or Higher education (Degree/Masters) courses.

Our students are typically between the ages of 6-19, we are open to all students who wish to study in a British school system anywhere in the world. Primary students are aged between 6-11 years, Secondary are aged between 11 and 16 years and Sixth-Form students are aged between 16-18 years.

We do however take on students slightly older who have had learning difficulties, as well as those who have gone through accelerated learning programmes. We do not enrol adults (aged 20 or higher).

You need to submit an admission form via: https://ibos.school/admission-form/, and then arrange an interview appointment via: https://ibos.school/admission-interview-booking/.

After the interview you will be sent an email if you are offered a place detailing the next steps. Places are offered on a first come first served basis and the enrolment fee must be paid to guarantee a student’s place at the school.

Our school year starts on 5 September 2024 for all year groups. We offer full support and catch-up lessons for students who enrol mid-term.
