Company details
Written by the company
IWS Online School is a Cambridge-accredited online school for students aged 7 to 19, with families based in the UK and around the world. Our lessons are taught live by qualified UK teachers, and students work towards internationally recognised Cambridge IGCSEs and A Levels that support applications to leading universities. No two children learn in quite the same way, so we offer three programmes. Foundation is self-paced and starts at £1,650 a year. Bridge, at £3,571 a year, combines independent study with live teaching, for families who want both structure and flexibility. Academy, at £7,500 a year, is fully live and taught in small groups. We also welcome students transferring from another school or starting partway through the year. The school was founded during the pandemic by a teacher with 20 years' experience in the Cambridge curriculum, on a straightforward belief: that every child, wherever they are in the world, deserves the chance at an excellent British education and the support to reach their potential, both in school and beyond it. Our fees are published openly, with no hidden costs. Whether your child does best in a live classroom or needs the freedom to study at their own pace, there is a place for them at IWS.

Flexible and solid study content
Our experience with IWS is very positive. It provided with exactly what we needed and how we needed, which is flexibility in study time with a good study content: independent program and IGCSE.
The communication between the student and teachers especially for whether the exam was submitted or not made me a little nervous as we received a warning that my daughter hadn’t submitted her exam/assignment on time, which turned out to be a miscommunication.
Besides those communication issues, my daughter enjoyed the study content especially economics and business studies.
Overall, especially for those students who needs extra practice for anything other than school and the time for academics is limited, I would highly recommend IWS.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review. Flexibility in study time alongside solid content is exactly what the independent programme and IGCSE pathway are built to give, so it's wonderful to hear they fitted what you needed, and that economics and business studies became real favourites.
Thank you too for being honest about the submission warning. We're sorry for the worry it caused, and we're glad it was quickly cleared up as a miscommunication. Clear, accurate updates between teachers, students and parents matter a great deal to us, and feedback like yours helps us keep improving.
Thank you for trusting us with your daughter's learning.

A Valuable Partnership That Delivers Results
We have been working with IWS Online School through our partner schools in Romania, and our experience has been extremely positive.
The lessons are delivered consistently, professionally, and without disruption. The quality of teaching has been excellent, and both students and parents have responded very positively to the programme.
We would also like to highlight the contribution of Mr. Max Vickery. During his visit to Romania, he delivered highly valuable seminars and workshops for parents, teachers, students, and school administrators. His sessions provided practical insights, strengthened engagement across the school community, and significantly enhanced the overall impact of the educational programme.
IWS has proven to be a reliable and professional educational partner, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future.

With the end of my A-Levels this year
With the end of my A-Levels this year, I wouldn’t have chosen any better institution than IWS. The immense support of IWS throughout my studies contributed to my academic performance and mental wellbeing. Having an institution that deeply understands its students and tries to lift any additional pressure is a crucial addition to the education system.
As a self-paced student, I‘ve encountered multiple challenges throughout the year that made me overthink my capabilities as an alumni. Yet IWS, especially our Student Engagement & Operations Coordinator
Mrs. Van Roon, approached every challenge of mine with immense support and empathy, pushing me to unlock my strengths and achieve my academic potential.
Thank You IWS, for the amazing year. I truly could not be more thankful!

The school has provided me with the opportunity to continue my studies flexibly.
The school has provided me with the opportunity to continue my education in a flexible environment, which I appreciate. While I have had some positive experiences, I have also encountered challenges with communication and response times. Overall, my experience has been average, with both strengths and areas that could be improved.
