Commentary:

Briteschool (TM) is a live, online school following closely the British National Curriculum as a means to help students who may wish to go back into mainstream education at any time, or who wish to go on to do IGCSEs at Briteschool. At present, Exam students start the International General Certificate of Education courses (IGCSEs) every September for two years.  Places are limited to twelve students in each cohort.

Students who wish to join only one or two subjects may do so, as long as there is available space in the class.  We encourage children who are having a Home Education and who want part-time extra Maths assistance to apply.  In particular, the lessons taken by children of Upper-Years Primary age are designed in this way.  This suits flexi schooled students in particular.  Students who are undertaking correspondence courses from other providers (for example, with Primary Home Education UK) may also wish for extra support for their studies.

Briteschool, the British E-School, caters for those who wish to prepare for the Common Entrance examinations, in particular the 13+ Examination from ISEB.  For students wishing for post-16 / post-IGCSE provision, Briteschool has adopted a limited range of A-level subjects from September 2011.

As well as being a Virtual inter High School (VHS), Briteschool is a Virtual Primary School (VPS), and a Virtual Night School (VNS) - the first college in the UK to offer virtual synchronous pedagogy to this range of pupils.

Students have regularly completed coursework and assignments to help study for the ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence).  ECDL courses have been running in the Briteniteschool since April 2007.  Registration with your local BCS centre is necessary for testing and certification - we suggest you follow the online testing regime, if it is available.

We also offer an increasing range of "extracurricular activities", including spoken Spanish, an hour a week of Japanese has run in the past, a Digital Photography course runs regularly, Art classes have been scheduled.  We also have our Briteschool Activities Week every December, and the students run an occasional Newspaper and have put on short "radio" plays.  As we grow, the number of these activities should increase.

Many of the students at Briteschool are being Home Educated, and their geographic location is diverse.  A few attend for only two hours per week; other homeschooled children and young adults attend in the afternoons (GMT / BST) for private lessons - one-to-one, or in small groups (for example, we have had private Art and Web-design classes, and have regular English Literature IGCSE classes by arrangement).  We hope to extend the range of subjects available to all students, and also the numbers of courses available by tuition and at the Briteniteschool Synchronous Distance Learning Centre.

As well as being qualified and experienced educators familiar with the education systems in England, Scotland and Wales (as well as overseas systems, including the USA, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Africa, Cyprus, France and the Middle East), two of our teachers have been Examiners and Moderators for their subject areas; two teachers / lecturers have NVQ Assessment Qualifications, D32 and D33, for Vocational Skills Assessment; we also have a range of other qualifications including Online Mentoring, TEFL / EFL and an MBA between us.  See our online CVs for further details.

Oh, and one more thing - don't send your child to ordinary school: save £1,300 or £1,200 per year (figures to be taken with a little salt, perhaps).
