Purpose-built LMS
In-house learning platform
Lessons, recordings, assignments, attendance, and parent reporting are delivered through a learning platform built and maintained by A&J — no third-party LMS dependencies, no hidden data flows.
Curricula taught
Pupils prepare for qualifications set by the world's leading awarding bodies.
A&J School teaches the Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel curricula for IGCSE and A-Level qualifications, alongside Advanced Placement and the American High School Diploma. Pupils sit external exams at approved centres in their country of residence.
What your child earns
Four globally recognised qualifications.
Pupils graduate A&J School with formal qualifications recognised by every major university system — UK, US, Canada, Europe, and Asia.
International General Certificate of Secondary Education
Taken at age 15–16, IGCSEs are the international equivalent of the British GCSE and the most widely recognised pre-16 qualification in the world.
Advanced Level
The British gold standard for university entry. A-Levels are required for UK university admission and accepted by universities worldwide. Pupils typically take three or four subjects.
Advanced Placement
College-level courses recognised by US universities and increasingly accepted in the UK and globally. Strong AP results signal academic readiness for the most competitive admissions.
American High School Diploma
A full four-year US high school qualification, awarded under WASC and Array Global accreditation, accepted by US universities and recognised internationally.
Why parents choose us
Six reasons families trust A&J School with their child's education.
- Reason 1.
Properly accredited.
A&J School is accredited by WASC and Array Global, and teaches the Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel curricula. Accreditation means independent inspectors review our curriculum, teaching, safeguarding, assessment, and pupil outcomes against published standards. The qualifications your child earns are the same qualifications taught at top international schools.
- Reason 2.
No more than eight pupils per class.
Every class at A&J School is capped at eight. Our teachers know each child by name, by ambition, and by the specific gap they are working through this term. Learning happens as a real conversation between teacher and pupil.
- Reason 3.
Programmes built around the pupil.
Each pupil's timetable, syllabus pacing, and tutorial schedule is shaped by their life — academic goals, sport calendar, performance schedule, treatment plan, learning profile, or university target. We design around the child first.
- Reason 4.
Teachers from leading universities.
Our teachers are educators trained at and drawn from leading universities including Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Stanford, and Harvard. Subject specialists teach the subjects they have spent years mastering.
- Reason 5.
Built for high performance and Special Educational Needs.
A&J School has extensive experience supporting both junior elite athletes and pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Young performers on tour or set, and pupils with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, anxiety, or chronic illness are a meaningful part of our intake. The combination of small classes, recorded lessons, named form tutor, and flexible scheduling makes accommodation routine.
- Reason 6.
Built for what comes after school.
The A&J Core Curriculum — taught alongside formal qualifications — develops the skills universities and employers actually evaluate: reasoning, writing, debate, research, and communication. Pupils leave A&J School ready for university interviews and the years that follow.
Your child's journey
Pupils join A&J School at any stage between ages 13 and 17.
Each entry point has its own defined programme. Whatever year your child is in, there is a clear academic plan from their first day to their final exam.
- Age 13.
Pupils joining at age 13 begin the two-year IGCSE programme, choosing eight to ten subjects. The first year focuses on academic foundations, study skills, and the start of the A&J Core Curriculum.
- Age 14.
Pupils joining at age 14 enter the second year of IGCSE preparation, finalising eight to ten subjects ahead of exams at the end of Year 11.
- Age 15.
Pupils joining at age 15 undertake an accelerated one-year IGCSE programme — typically four or five subjects, including compulsory Maths and English, with three additional subjects of choice.
- Age 16.
Pupils joining at age 16 begin A-Levels (or AP courses, for the American system). Three or four subjects, taken over two years, with university applications integrated into the second year.
- Age 17.
Pupils joining at age 17 complete an accelerated one-year A-Level programme, with options for AP and Diploma pathways depending on target universities.
Structure
What a school week at A&J looks like.
A&J School operates Monday to Friday on a fixed timetable, in line with the British school year. Pupils attend live, video-based lessons via secure conferencing, with each lesson recorded for revision and accessibility. Between live lessons, pupils complete prep, attend small-group tutorials, and meet one-to-one with their form tutor.

|---|---|
| 08:30 | Form tutor check-in (10 min) |
| 09:00 | Period 1 — live lesson |
| 10:00 | Period 2 — live lesson |

| 11:20 | Period 3 — live lesson |

Specimen Year 11 timetable (GMT). Times shift with academic year and pupil's stage. Pupils on a tournament, set, or treatment schedule work with the form tutor on a personalised version of this structure.
The A&J curriculum
Two curricula, taught together.
The formal curriculum.
Pupils prepare for international qualifications: IGCSE and A-Level under the Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel curricula, plus AP and the American High School Diploma. Subjects available include:
- Mathematics (Higher and Further)
- English Language and Literature
- Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics)
- Economics and Business
- Computer Science
- Modern Languages (French, Spanish, German, Mandarin)
- Classical Languages (Latin, Greek)
- History, Geography, Politics
- Philosophy and Theory of Knowledge
- Art, Music, Drama
The A&J Core Curriculum.
Alongside the formal qualifications, every pupil takes the proprietary A&J Core Curriculum: a structured programme in critical reasoning, written and spoken communication, research methods, and applied debate. The Core Curriculum runs in parallel from age 13 onwards and helps A&J pupils become articulate, confident, and university-ready when their formal qualifications conclude.
Wellbeing, safeguarding & SEN support
A duty of care that doesn't end at the school gate, because there isn't one.
Operating online sharpens a school's safeguarding obligations rather than reducing them. Every member of A&J School teaching staff is trained in safeguarding to UK statutory standards. Every pupil has a named form tutor who meets them daily and knows them as an individual. Concerns are raised, recorded, and escalated through a defined safeguarding lead. Lessons are recorded and accessible to the school's safeguarding team. Parents receive structured reports each term and have a direct line to the form tutor between reports.
Daily form tutor check-in.
Every pupil starts the school day with a live ten-minute meeting with their form tutor.
Designated Safeguarding Lead.
A trained DSL with statutory responsibilities is on staff and contactable by parents directly.
Recorded lessons, secure platform.
Lessons are delivered on the school's own secure, monitored platform with full parental visibility.
Special Educational Needs (SEN) expertise embedded in the model.
Personalised support plans for ADHD, dyslexia, autism, anxiety, and other learning differences — written, reviewed, and coordinated with parents and external specialists.
High-performance psychology built in.
Our director is a chartered psychologist; performance-pressure, identity, and recovery support is standard for our junior athletes and young performers.
Parent voices
What our families say.
High-performance athlete
My daughter is a junior tennis player on the LTA tour. We tried two schools before A&J. The difference is that A&J was built for this — her form tutor knows her tournament calendar, the recordings are there for the days she travels, and the small classes mean she never falls behind. She is on track for three A-Levels with no compromise on her tennis.
— Parent of a Year 12 pupilChronic illness
Our son has Crohn's disease. After two years of patchy attendance at his old school we were exhausted and he was furious. A&J gave him back his education without making his condition the centre of every conversation. He attends live when he can, watches recordings when he can't, and his form tutor is the first adult outside our family he has properly trusted in years.
— Parent of a Year 10 pupilYoung performer
Our daughter has been working as a screen actor since she was eleven. She has done six productions in the last two years. The first agent we spoke to said her schooling would suffer — that has not been our experience here. The school works around shoot schedules calmly, and her IGCSE results were better than her tutor on set predicted.
— Parent of a Year 11 pupilGlobally mobile family
We moved from Singapore to Dubai mid-year for my husband's work. At any other school that would have meant losing a year. At A&J it meant a forty-minute conversation with admissions and a slightly different time zone for live lessons. The qualifications travel with us, which is the whole point.
— Parent of a Year 9 pupilSpecial Educational Needs
Our son is autistic and dyslexic. He had had a difficult time in mainstream school — bright, articulate, and slowly switching off. The first thing A&J did was draw up a written support plan with us and his educational psychologist, and the second thing they did was actually follow it. He has been at A&J for two years now. He speaks up in class. His writing has come on enormously. We have stopped worrying about whether he is going to be okay at school.
— Parent of a Year 10 pupilPerformance psychology
My daughter has competed in international gymnastics since she was nine. The pressure is real and it is psychological as much as physical. What A&J does that other schools we tried do not is take the head side of high performance seriously — her tutor and the school's psychologist work with us as a team. Her grades are good. Her head is better.
