For military families, constant moves and unpredictable schedules are simply a way of life. With deployments, reassignments, and new postings, children often find themselves adjusting to new homes, new cultures, and—perhaps most challenging—new schools. Traditionally, many military families have turned to boarding schools as a solution, offering stability in education while parents serve. But in today’s digital age, online schooling presents an exciting, flexible alternative that allows families to stay together while ensuring high-quality education.
Breaking Away from Tradition
Boarding schools have long been seen as a practical choice for military families, offering structure and academic consistency despite frequent relocations. However, this also means long periods of separation from parents—missing out on daily moments, shared experiences, and valuable time together.
Online schooling changes the game. With CHS, a fully online school, students can take their education with them wherever their family is posted, whether that’s across the UK or overseas. This means no more painful goodbyes at the school gates or missed milestones. Instead, learning fits around family life, not the other way around.
More Family Time, More Adventures
Military life comes with incredible opportunities to see the world. From experiencing new cultures to learning new languages, military children have a unique chance to broaden their horizons—so why should school hold them back?
Online schooling allows families to explore the world together without compromising their child’s education. Imagine studying history while living in a country steeped in its own rich past or learning a new language with local speakers right outside your door. The flexibility of online education means that learning happens anywhere, whether in a home in the UK or a temporary base abroad.
Supporting Mental Wellbeing in Military Families
The constant upheaval of military life can take a toll on children’s mental health. Studies show that military children often experience higher levels of stress due to frequent moves and parental deployments. According to a study by the Royal British Legion, around 1 in 4 military children report struggling with anxiety due to changes in their environment and education.
By choosing online schooling, military families can reduce some of this stress. Stability in education means fewer disruptions, allowing children to maintain friendships, stay engaged in their learning, and feel a greater sense of control over their lives. At CHS, our supportive community ensures students always feel connected, no matter where in the world they are.
