Following strong demand from Gulf families, we are officially launching our Middle East timetable from September 2026. This means GCC-friendly school hours, improved scheduling, and greater community engagement across the Gulf region.

  • GCC-Friendly School Hours: Improved scheduling designed for UAE & Saudi students, removing timezone difficulties.

  • Live Teacher-Led Classes: Small, engaging classrooms with experienced UK-qualified teachers delivering real-time lessons.

  • Islamic Assemblies & Reminders: Regular Islamic talks, Quran sessions, and reminders from respected global scholars.

  • Parent Community Groups: Dedicated UAE and Saudi Arabia parent networks for connection, support, and meetups.

Online School FAQs

  • Fully online high schools and online schools for primary students are just like regular schools, except students learn from the comfort of their own home – or anywhere else in the world. Just like in any other school, students in virtual schools study set classes with a teacher, interact with their classmates, and undertake exams.

    A purpose-built online environment is different from (and better than) the way traditional schools operated online during the pandemic. Read Meta School has been designed and optimised for virtual learning, with experience in how to effectively deliver part-time and full-time online instruction to students around the world.

  • Registering at an online school is easy. First, take a look through our subject offering and fees pages, then note down which subjects your student would like to study. Next, head over to our Apply Online page and fill in your details. Once your registration form is submitted, our team will get in touch with you regarding the application process.

  • Unlike most schools, online school prepares students for independent learning, setting them up for their future careers. Online education is also highly flexible, allowing students to study and progress at a rate that suits them best. Lessons are available for rewatching 24/7, and pupils are free to study anywhere in the world as long as they have a laptop and internet connection.

    Just like traditional schooling, we have a strong sense of school community and belonging, with clubs, assemblies, extracurricular activities, and social opportunities all available on our own safe platforms. Our online learning model also ensures students receive all the support and structure they need to thrive, and pupils are free to reach out to their teachers for help and encouragement at any time.

  • At Read Meta School, the primary, secondary, and IGCSE programmes offer a complete education with everything you’d expect from a physical school while learning full-time online. Students have live, timetabled classes every weekday, learning and progressing with the same set of students and qualified teachers.

  • While both online learning and homeschooling typically take place in a student’s home, they’re not the same thing. When children are homeschooled, their parents or guardians serve as their instructors, while online school programs are taught by qualified teachers.

    Homeschools also don’t need to follow the national curriculum. We, however, teach a British curriculum with GCSE and/or IGCSE.

    Online learning can be a great supplement for parents who are currently homeschooling their children.

  • Experienced UK teachers deliver live lessons in real-time, all optimised for online learning to bring your child’s education to life. Students in need of help or encouragement can always get in touch with their teachers for additional support.

    Every lesson is recorded and uploaded to the online portal, giving students 24/7 access to their past classes.

  • Online learning benefits a diverse mix of pupils in the UK and internationally, including young sports stars, actors, entrepreneurs, high-achieving students, and those who don’t suit mainstream schooling for any reason. With learning that revolves around the student, each individual can thrive in an online school environment, supported by a global community that prioritises mental health.

  • Online school and traditional school GCSE and IGCSE qualifications, also known as the International GCSE, are considered equivalent by universities, colleges, and sixth forms around the world.

  • Students across all age groups can join at any time of the year, and enrolling takes just a few days. Pupils who enrol after the start of the academic year need not worry about catching up, as all lessons are recorded and available to view at any time.

  • Online school costs vary depending on the school, your child’s key stage, and how many subjects they wish to choose. Use our Fees page to find out how much online schooling at Read Meta School will cost for your child.
