Internet school for IGCSE

[greig2705]

Looking for some advice from anyone that has some knowledge on internet schooling for GCSE's. Been looking at Interhigh they seem to be quite highly rated. Can anyone offer any help advice on this?

Thanks

I've just signed my son up to Cambridge Home School an online school. I researched interhigh but was put off by the recent discussions on mumsnet about how the school was changing it's classroom set up to lecture style. Myonlineschool looked good and I watched the open evening recorded video, the only reason I didn't sign up was because of limited IGCSE subject choice for my son. My son watched some live lessons with camebridge which they let you do for free and really liked the lessons and teachers. He will start in September so not sure how it will be. I've spoken to other mums, I met them here and there kids are enjoying camebridge. Hope this helps. I've had to sort out extra curricular like sport and music but apart from that it seems to have all worked out.

No recommendations on school but whichever you go for do your own research into the exam specs and arrangements. MyOnlinSchooling for example has an IGCSE listed on their site that can't be sat in the UK, it was flagged months ago but is still there.
Not criticising internet schooling as an approach. I've considered it for mine and we do use online providers for individual subjects. Just advising that you research the IGCSE arrangements and specs they are using for yourself as mistakes do happen.

Just check that they have arrangements with a location suitable for your dc to take the exams, a friend ended up having to go 70 miles for one exam
