600+ students this year

We learn from home, in our own countries and time zones.

With the end of my A-Levels this year, I wouldn’t have chosen any better institution than IWS. The immense support throughout my studies contributed to my academic performance and my wellbeing.

    I’ve been really pleased with the support my son has received. Whenever we’ve had a question, the teachers have replied quickly and explained everything clearly. It’s reassuring to know that he can always ask for help if he needs it.

  • Demi Y.Parent · via Trustpilot

    This was our first year at IWS, and it has been a wonderful experience. My daughter really enjoyed the teachers and the lessons, and I can see how much she has improved. The school has been very supportive.

  • Milos L.Student · via Trustpilot

    The team is incredibly flexible, understanding, and always willing to help whenever you have a question or need support. They genuinely care about their students and make the learning process much less stressful.

  • ArdeshirParent · via Trustpilot

    I spent considerable time looking for an online education for my daughter. Frankly, I had to choose IWS. My daughter just finished her AS level subjects and will continue with her A levels in a few months. Both of us are extremely happy.

  • Chinatsu Y.Parent · via Trustpilot

    Our experience with IWS is very positive. It provided exactly what we needed and how we needed it: flexibility in study time with good study content, an independent programme and IGCSE.

  • Giulia B.Parent · via Trustpilot

    Caring, professional and friendly team. Thank you.
