Novastra International homeschooling programme is meticulously structured to mirror the operational dynamics of a conventional physical Cambridge international school; the sole divergence lies in the digital medium of delivery. Students are granted secure, proprietary credentials to access their respective virtual classrooms, where instruction is disseminated live via platforms such as Google Meet or Zoom. Our educators facilitate dynamic, interactive sessions that actively encourage student engagement, spontaneous inquiry, and collaborative discourse, replicating the robust participation found within a traditional classroom environment. Crucially, the school strictly adheres to the official Cambridge International Curriculum, thereby guaranteeing that every student attains a globally accredited and high-quality education.
Our academic workflow operates on a fully digitalized system: coursework, assignments, and continuous assessments are administered, submitted, and graded online. Crucially, internal examinations are conducted virtually under stringent invigilation to uphold academic integrity. As students culminate their primary education in Year 6, they undertake the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Examination, a pivotal milestone that signifies their progression to the Lower Secondary phase (Years 7–9). The subsequent Cambridge Lower Secondary Checkpoint Examination is a physical, externally moderated assessment taken by all Year 9 students. Upon successful completion of lower secondary, students advance to Senior High School (Key Stage 4, Years 10 and 11), where the curriculum is explicitly designed to prepare them for the rigorous IGCSE examinations before their final transition to A-Level studies in Key Stage 5.
The institution is committed to fostering a transparent and supportive educational environment, granting parents and guardians uninterrupted visibility into student academic performance via our bespoke online platform. To uphold this commitment, the school facilitates open lines of communication between educators and families. Furthermore, Novastra International School offers the opportunity for interested parents or guardians to schedule a virtual consultation, providing a comprehensive demonstration of the online learning methodology and addressing any enquiries concerning class configuration, pedagogical delivery, or assessment protocols.
