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) in September 2007 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 numbers.

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 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) for private lessons - one-to-one, or in small groups.  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, 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.
