Highgrove Education, a global online school and school services provider, has announced its official launch and opening for the 2024\/2025 academic year.<\/p>\n

Its flagship school, Highgrove Online School, aims to provide an outstanding British education for ambitious pupils studying GCSEs and A Levels online. Highgrove Education was founded by Heather Rhodes, who was the Principal of Harrow School Online for four years.<\/p>\n

Its academic teaching team boasts a distinguished track record\u00a0including its impressive A level results for 2024. A-level\u00a0results in courses taught with flipped learning, where there are just two scheduled lessons a week per subject, were: 50% A*, 75% A*or A and 88% A* to B, against a national average of 9.3%. The team has seen first-hand how students at Highgrove progress with their study and courses which are taught in a flipped learning style. This involves students studying at a pace that suits them, joining classes, and seeing their teacher on a one-to-one basis.<\/p>\n

As well as offering GCSE and A-level teaching, Highgrove Education provides an enriching extracurricular offering which includes a series of\u00a0elective courses<\/a>. Led by members of its teaching team, these are a great way\u00a0for pupils to pursue their interests, develop new skills, and add to their university applications. The elective courses include an Introduction to Investment, English Language Support, AI Literacy, Music Technology, Digital Photography, Emotional Intelligence,\u00a0and many more. Alongside this Highgrove Education provides\u00a0bespoke programmes\u00a0and one-to-one support. Pupils are also part of a tutor group, house system,\u00a0and can join a wide range of student-led clubs and societies.<\/p>\n

Heather Rhodes, Founder and Principal, Highgrove Education commented:\u00a0\u201cIt has been a pleasure to welcome pupils from around the world to Highgrove Online School. I set out to prove that delivering a full\u00a0independent school education online was not only possible but could match the A-level results and university outcomes of traditional schools. This year\u00a0at Harrow School Online, we surpassed expectations with 50% of our students achieving A* grades in their flipped A-level courses and over three-quarters of students heading to the UK for university taking up places at Russell Group universities. Over the past three years our\u00a0leavers have secured places at world-leading universities across the globe, including Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, Warwick, Sydney, and Berkeley, to study on some of the most competitive degree courses available. I am excited to continue this journey with our dedicated team under our new Highgrove Education brand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rhodes continued: \u201cWe\u2019ve\u00a0just\u00a0held the first assembly of the year, and I\u2019m\u00a0thrilled with our first cohort of pupils who span the globe from America to Asia. They\u00a0are eager to dive into their academic programmes\u00a0and appreciate having more flexibility and more responsibility for their learning than in a traditional school. We’re determined\u00a0to continue what we started with Harrow School Online and extend this further by teaching GCSEs as well as A levels. Teaching remotely allows us to provide a top-tier education to pupils wherever they live, at a more affordable fee\u00a0than traditional independent schooling. We work with outstanding teachers\u00a0to offer a world-leading education online, with a rich extra-curricular programme running alongside our GCSE and A-level courses\u00a0\u2013 including what I believe is the best selection of online elective courses\u00a0for secondary students in the world. In addition to running an online school, we also collaborate directly with schools worldwide to deliver courses remotely to their students. I am excited to lead our talented teaching team to provide unparalleled opportunities for pupils\u00a0to receive a top independent\u00a0school education online.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
