Choosing your child’s school is arguably one of the most impactful decisions you will make, so it requires careful consideration of various factors – from the expertise and experience of teaching staff to the inclusivity of the school environment.
A New Approach to Education: Why Online Learning?
Online schools have the unique opportunity to tailor education to students’ specific needs, preferences, and schedules in a way that physical mainstream schools simply can’t. For example, with online learning, your child can attend classes from anywhere – giving them (and your family) complete flexibility to travel, focus on other hobbies, or spend more time together.
It also means that education is finally truly accessible – you can live anywhere in the world, including remote areas with no schools nearby, and still enable your child to access a high-quality curriculum and expert teaching. But there are many other benefits worth considering. Here are some of them:
Flexible Schedules
Online learning isn’t just flexible when it comes to location but also to daily schedules. For example, King’s InterHigh offers a comprehensive British curriculum across three timetables: UK, Middle East, and Southeast Asia, so you can select the timetable that best suits your needs. Plus, all lessons are taught by expert teachers, and lesson recordings are available 24/7, so students can revisit classes anytime and never miss out on important content. This flexibility is crucial for students with other commitments, be it medical needs, frequent travelling, or an early career in sports or arts.
A Global Community
One of the key advantages of online education is the opportunity for students to engage in a global learning community. In an online school, your child can interact with classmates worldwide, gaining insights and perspectives that extend beyond the traditional classroom. This global interaction enhances their academic experience and prepares them for life in an increasingly interconnected world.
King’s InterHigh comes with a vibrant, international community of students spanning 133 countries. This global network of classmates and friends helps your child learn about new cultures and become a more open-minded and well-rounded individual.
Personalised Support
Because online classes tend to be small, teachers can foster relationships with students and better understand their needs and behaviours. This, in turn, will help them tailor their teaching approaches to students’ preferences. King’s InterHigh also leverages InspiredAI to build personalised learning paths based on students’ strengths and areas of improvement. This means that every student can grow their skills, build confidence, and thrive in their learning.
A Broad, High-quality Curriculum
A Broad, High-quality Curriculum Online schools often provide a wide-ranging curriculum that allows students to explore their interests and pursue subjects that align with their future goals. King’s InterHigh, for instance, offers a comprehensive British curriculum for students aged 7 to 19, from primary school to sixth form. We also offer the online IB on our UK timetable, a challenging and internationally recognised certification that can open doors to highly accredited universities worldwide.
