Part of this quality British education is ensuring that our students are prepared for the unforeseeable, for the challenges of tomorrow and for life.

It is this preparedness, through the British Way of learning, that defines our approach to teaching and learning at King’s College.

It is this agility that has ensured that we have been able to deliver a continuity of learning, despite the current COVID19 crisis.

It is this forward-thinking that has ensured that all our students have been able to continue to benefit from a quality British virtual education.

Open For Learning for Our Students

At King’s College our students are our top priority. Our seamlessly implemented ‘live’ online lessons, allow us to continue to deliver a full curriculum to all students and ensure that no student misses out on a moment of learning.

Our personalised teaching approach ensures that no matter the distance, every student is treated as an individual and there is ongoing support both pastorally and academically.

Our virtual curriculum has been designed to facilitate both the continuation of the presential academic curriculum, encompassing both traditional classroom topics, as well as building in outdoor activity for the regular Physical Educational aspects, to ensure our students wellbeing in line with their continued academic progress.

The online programme includes virtual classes, tutorial videos, individual and group dynamic work, and is provided in the usual school timetable; Monday through Friday, in all educational stages.

Our online learning offer ensures frequent and direct communication between parents, teachers and our students, to ensure a truly all-encompassing and fluid experience.

King’s College schools already have exceptional use of technology, so our virtual learning is an extension to this and our students access the online learning through the same digital platforms to which they are already accustomed for certain educational activities, allowing them a smooth adaptation to the new dynamics of online study.

Congratulations for the rapid turnaround to everybody at King's. I find the conversion into online teaching has been very effective. I am proud to see how my son adheres to the school schedule without any prodding from our part and even with positive comments from some of the teachers. I recognize this is due to a great extent to an effort to maintain active learning while keeping boredom at a distance neither of which is easy.

Our students in action

"Thank you very much for all the amazing work that you are doing with the kids these days, we couldn’t be any happier with all that school teachers are doing, especially considering what parents whose children attend other public or private schools tell us. They simply can’t believe when we tell them what King’s is doing. Teachers at King’s are doing an incredible job and I hope the school is aware of this. I do hope you are all well and coping with confinement reasonably well."
