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.
Briteschool's lessons are all 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 the Cambridge University
Pre-U post-GCSE qualification from September 2009.

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.
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 plans to
adopt Cambridge University's
Pre-U
programme from September 2008 or 2009 depending on demand.
As well as being a virtual
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, 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 one hour 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 a private Art and Web-design classes going
on). 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
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, 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 Counselling, Online
Mentoring, TEFL / EFL and an MBA between us. See
our online CVs for
further details.
Oh, and one more thing
- save £1,300 - don't send your child to
ordinary
school.
