Moving Abroad

Leaving the UK does not have to mean leaving the British curriculum. A UK online school lets children keep studying for GCSEs and A-levels wherever the family lives, then sit exams at a British Council or approved overseas centre. These guides cover the practical side of a move: leaving the UK school roll properly before you fly, fitting lessons around new time zones, finding exam centres, and how online school compares with an international school on cost. There are country guides for Dubai, Bahrain, the USA, Spain, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, plus guides for a family year abroad and for Forces families on postings. Polish, Lithuanian and Latvian versions are available for families returning home. Most families start planning three to six months before the move, but mid-year starts are common. Each guide explains local exam options and the school-year differences you should expect. Tell us where you are moving and when, and we call you with schools that fit.
