Our Model

How We Work

Hear it from our Founder

Most online schools ask children to learn alone, from a screen. Sophia is built differently: live teachers, small classes, a full co-curricular programme and weekly parent meetings — all working together, every day.

Here's what sets Sophia apart.

Melissa McBride, founder of Sophia High School
  • Curriculum Rigour & Options

    Full British curriculum for ages 4–18. We offer IGCSEs, A-Levels, BTec and Esports pathways. DfE-registered and Pearson Edexcel-accredited.

  • Daily Live Lessons

    25+ hours of real-time learning every week. Not pre-recorded content — live, interactive teaching with qualified teachers, every single day.

  • Small Class Sizes

    Maximum 6–8 students per core subject. This isn't a nice-to-have — personalised learning is an integral part of the programme, by design.

  • Master Teachers

    Highly qualified, British-trained educators with real, senior classroom experience. The question every parent asks — we have the answer.

  • Co-curricular Programme

    Enrichment, mentoring, form time, house activities and a full Friday programme. A complete school experience — not just lessons.

  • Transparency & Parent Partnership

    Weekly parent meetings, recorded lessons and open communication at every stage. You are always informed, always involved.
