Flexischooling: the best of both worlds
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have your child learn from home—but without giving up some of the structure, social life, and opportunities of a traditional school? If so, online flexischooling might be the perfect solution.
How does flexischooling work online?
What is Flexischooling? Flexischooling, also known as dual schooling, allows a child to split their education between home and school. Instead of attending full-time, they spend part of the week in a physical school and the rest learning at home. In the UK, this blended approach is becoming an increasingly popular alternative, offering families the flexibility of home education alongside the consistency and community of traditional schooling.
How does CHS Prep School support your journey?
At CHS Prep School, we’ve been welcoming flexischooled children for many years. Our programme is designed to complement a child’s existing school schedule. Typically, students learn with us online during the mornings—immersed in a high-quality British curriculum—before transitioning to their physical school for lunch and afternoon classes.
This model works not only in the UK, but also internationally. For example, families in Asia often choose to have their children attend a local school during the day, while supplementing their education with CHS Prep School’s rigorous academic offering.
Navigating online flexischooling in the UK
To flexischool in the UK, parents must gain permission from their child’s physical school Head Teacher. Primary schools are often open to the idea, and we’re here to help. CHS Prep can support your application by arranging meetings, sharing success stories, and outlining how this flexible approach can benefit both the child and the school.
Is online flexischooling right for your child?
If you’re looking for a more personalised, adaptable way of learning that still keeps your child connected to peers and school life, flexischooling could offer the best of both worlds. At CHS Prep School, we’re proud to partner with families and schools to make it work—seamlessly and successfully.
