Education is changing. For today’s high-achieving, multi-talented students, the traditional classroom is no longer the only or best route to academic success. More and more families are choosing online schooling for its flexibility, quality, and ability to support students who are simultaneously excelling in other areas of life.
At Cambridge Home School Online (CHS Online), we are proud to educate a generation of ambitious young learners who are balancing rigorous academic study with elite-level pursuits. One such student is Hannah Klugman, a rising tennis star whose extraordinary sporting success has been matched by her continued academic development at CHS.
Education That Adapts to the Individual
In a world where opportunity often requires mobility and independence, online education provides an increasingly valuable alternative to conventional schooling. While traditional models can be rigid—fixed timetables, classroom-based attendance, and limited accommodation for external commitments—online schools like CHS Online are designed to meet the needs of students whose lives and ambitions don’t always fit within the bounds of a standard school day.
At CHS Online, our pupils are able to access a world-class British education from anywhere in the world. Whether they are competing in international sports, travelling with their families, working on creative projects, or simply seeking a more focused, flexible academic environment, our students benefit from an approach that puts them at the centre of their education.
The CHS Online Model
Our school delivers a selective, rigorous version of the Cambridge International curriculum to students aged 5 to 19. We combine academic excellence with a personalised, modern approach to online learning.
Key features include:
-
Live, interactive lessons taught by subject-specialist teachers
-
Small class sizes, typically fewer than ten students per group
-
On-demand lesson recordings, allowing students to review material at their convenience
-
Personal academic support and structured, carefully planned timetables
-
A strong focus on wellbeing, with pastoral care built into the school day
This model gives students the tools they need to excel, while also developing the independence, discipline, and time-management skills that will serve them throughout their lives.
The Story of Hannah Klugman
Few stories illustrate the power of flexible, high-quality education better than that of Hannah Klugman.
A gifted tennis player from London, Hannah has rapidly become one of the UK’s most exciting young athletes. In December 2024, she won the prestigious Junior Orange Bowl in Florida—one of the most competitive under-18 tennis tournaments in the world. Previous winners of the event include Coco Gauff and Bianca Andreescu, placing Hannah firmly in the spotlight as one of the sport’s rising stars.
Her momentum continued into 2025, when she reached the girls’ singles final at the French Open, becoming the first British player to achieve this feat since 1976. Her performances on the international stage have drawn widespread acclaim, highlighting her maturity, focus, and exceptional athletic talent.
Balancing a competitive international tennis career with a rigorous academic education would be nearly impossible in a traditional school. Before joining CHS Online, Hannah attended Wimbledon High School, but as her tournament commitments increased, she required a more adaptable academic model.
At CHS Online, she has found the ideal environment. With live and recorded lessons, individualised teacher support, and a timetable that adapts to her training and travel, Hannah has continued to progress in her studies while pursuing success on the court. Her journey is a testament not only to her personal discipline but also to the school’s commitment to empowering ambitious students to thrive on both academic and personal fronts.
A Diverse and Driven Student Community
While Hannah’s success is remarkable, she is far from alone in pursuing excellence beyond the classroom. CHS Online supports a wide range of students who are excelling in different areas:
-
International athletes with full-time training schedules
-
Young musicians, actors, and dancers performing at professional level
-
Entrepreneurs and innovators developing their own ventures
-
Families living abroad, including children of diplomats and expatriates
Every student at CHS Online benefits from a tailored, supportive approach that removes the barriers often found in conventional schooling. Our model is not simply about convenience—it is about enabling young people to meet their full potential in all aspects of life.
Admissions at CHS Online
Our admissions process is thorough and personal. We are a selective school, and we seek students who are motivated, academically capable, and well-suited to independent learning.
The first step in our admissions journey is often a taster day, where prospective students are invited to join live lessons, meet teachers, and experience our school environment first-hand. These taster sessions are a vital opportunity for both families and students to understand how CHS Online operates and whether it is the right fit for their educational goals.
