An online school is a dedicated digital learning institution with proper accreditation in which learners attend live classes by certified facilitators, complete the assessments, and access the recorded lessons at any time and from anywhere through the internet only. Hence, an online school delivers the same curriculum as a traditional school but with the flexibility to learn from anywhere.
An online school is different from a traditional school as it replaces physical classroom learning with live interactive sessions that can be attended from anywhere, and recorded learning sessions that can be accessed anytime. An online school offers a structured timetable, an accredited curriculum, and dedicated facilitator support — without the constraints of geography, commute, or rigid school-bus schedules.
At 21K School, you can access virtual education from the comfort of your own home, connecting with skilled teachers and peers from across the world. Live online discussions and assignments you complete at your own pace are part of the interactive learning experience we offer.
We are presently accepting enrollments for grades 6 to 12 (Key Stage 3 to 5 - IGCSE & A Levels) and will adhere to an annual academic calendar, conducting live online classes for 1–3 hours, 5–6 days per week, depending on the grade.
Enrollment is open every academic year from Nursery to Grade 12. Admission is granted on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to seat availability. The minimum age requirement for students is determined by their age as of September 30th in the year of entry. For more information, visit our how-to-enrol page.
