Accreditations and School Inspections

Independent recognition of our teaching quality, safeguarding, and school standards.

Council of International Schools (CIS) Accreditation

iBOS hosted the evaluation team for our conclusive accreditation visit spanning from 5–10 November. The initial feedback provided by the lead evaluator and deputy lead evaluator was overwhelmingly positive. We received accreditation from CIS in February 2024, and we became the only CIS-accredited online school.

CIS accreditation affirms that iBOS meets internationally recognised standards for school purpose, governance, teaching and learning, student wellbeing, and continuous improvement.

Department for Education (DfE) Accreditation

On 27 and 28 March 2024, Senior HMI Inspectors Mark Quinn and John Nixon from Ofsted visited iBOS to evaluate it against the OEAS standards. These standards assess key quality benchmarks for online education, including curriculum quality, student progress, teaching standards, and safeguarding.

iBOS is registered with the UK Department for Education, providing families with independent assurance of our school’s standing and compliance.

iBOS is the only online British school accredited by both CIS and the UK Department for Education.
