Why iBOS
A pioneering British online school with live teaching, CIS accreditation, and a full school experience from home.
Choosing the right school for your child is a major decision that needs careful consideration. We are a pioneering online school, and we feel that what makes us special is our systems’ ease of use, adaptability and flexibility. We take immense pride in being accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS). In February 2024, we became the only CIS-accredited online school, and we work with other quality assurance organisations. All of our teachers are UK-qualified and deliver lessons from our school site in Clapham, London. We are also a registered Pearson Exam Centre.
In today’s educational landscape, virtually every school globally is incorporating IT and technology into their curricula whenever feasible. At iBOS, we embrace online learning as our primary teaching method, distinguishing ourselves by seamlessly integrating live and real-time video lessons into our educational approach.
Why opt for iBOS? We stand out as the sole online school with a physical schooling infrastructure, delivering the British National Curriculum from London to both national and international students worldwide.
