Here’s everything you need to know to secure your child’s place and join our thriving community of nearly 300 learners.

Why Cambridge Home School Online?

CHS isn’t just another online school—it’s a high-performing British independent school that offers students a world-class education, all from the comfort and flexibility of home. Ranked among the top 4% of UK private schools (and open to students globally), CHS combines academic excellence with emotional wellbeing and a flexible schedule that empowers students to flourish both in and out of the classroom.

With small class sizes of a maximum of 10 students, passionate teachers, and subject-specific support, CHS caters to students’ individual learning styles—whether they’re gifted, need more time to grasp certain concepts, or simply thrive in a quieter, more personalized learning environment.


📅 Admissions for September 2025: Now Open!

CHS is currently welcoming applications for the 2025–2026 school year. With limited places available, the earlier you apply, the better your chances of securing a spot. The admissions team reviews applications on a rolling basis, so it’s wise not to wait.

📝 The Application Process – Step by Step

Getting started is simple. Here’s how it works:

  1. Fill Out the Online Registration Form
    Start your journey by completing the quick and easy application form.

  2. Pay the £200 Registration Fee
    This non-refundable fee covers the processing of your child’s application and a one-on-one Zoom meeting to assess their suitability.

  3. Submit Supporting Documents
    You’ll need to email our Admissions Manager with the following:

  • Your child’s most recent school report
  • A personal statement written by your child (this helps the school understand their personality, motivation, and interests)

CHS doesn’t rely solely on traditional grades. They understand that students come from different educational backgrounds and focus on effort and motivation as key indicators of potential. Students are placed in ability-based groups, not strictly by age—so everyone is challenged and supported appropriately.

💬 What About Parental Involvement?

At CHS, education is a team effort. Parents have access to real-time progress reports and are encouraged to communicate with teachers. This partnership ensures that students stay on track and that any concerns are addressed early.

Plus, the flexibility of the school’s online model means families can integrate education into a lifestyle that works best for them—whether that includes travel, sports, creative pursuits, or additional academic enrichment.
