Briteschool live online school offers Primary and Secondary education for home-schooled and expatriate students.

Experienced online teachers offer LIVE virtual lessons and tuition in Maths, English, the Sciences, French, Spanish, History and Geography as well as Computing.

Briteschool cyberteachers use a combination of microphone, text chat, a whiteboard, presentation software and weblinks to deliver their online lessons.

Why Briteschool ?

Briteschool is unique in the UK in offering live Primary support.

Many of Briteschool's lessons are recorded - if your child joins part way through the year, old lessons could be viewed.  If your child is absent, s/he could watch the recording later.  At exam time, the recordings can be used for revision purposes.

All Briteschool's lesson materials can be saved at the end of the session, to be accessed at any time.

Lesson slides and further materials are available at any time in the Virtual Learning Environment (our Community Area Login Required)

Briteschool offers accelerated progression to IGCSE in most of the individual subjects. (If Sammy is good at Maths, she can start the IGCSE course when she's ready, starting in other subjects later - saving her time and you money).

This British cyberschool is unique in offering attendance in individual classes as well as in all available classes - and one-to-one tuition if required.

Briteschool offers the IT / Computing ECDL, our Digital Photography and Japanese courses as free options to all enrolled students.

We hope to be offering a limited range of A-levels from  September 2010 or 2011.

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 started the International General Certificate of Education courses (IGCSEs) every September for two years.  Places are limited to twelve students in each year.

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.  For students wishing for post-16 / post-IGCSE provision, Briteschool hopes to adopt a limited range of A-level subjects from September 2010, or 2011 depending on demand.

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 already started coursework for the ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence).  This means we may find some thirteen year-olds with Driving Licences !  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, a Digital Photography course, Art classes, our Activities Week every December, and the students run a 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 English Literature IGCSE classes).  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.
