Quality education is prized globally: it paves the way for a rewarding career, cultivates expertise in one’s field, and lays the foundation for a prosperous life. The journey can begin as early as age 5, when pupils embark on their educational pathway at Virtual International School (VIS), an online institution that guides learners through to adulthood at 18. VIS stands apart in offering structured online group classes for children as young as five, supported by educational psychologists, mentors, and teachers specially trained to engage young minds effectively.
Virtual International School is not merely a full-cycle online institution; it is a nurturing environment designed for the holistic development and academic success of students aged 5–18. Here, every pupil receives tailored support up to enrolment in their chosen English-language bachelor’s programme at universities worldwide. The VIS team believes that by adhering to British educational standards within a multicultural framework, every student’s potential can be unlocked, equipping them to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
A Multinational Community
With students joining from 33 countries—including the UK, Germany, Spain, China, the USA, the UAE, Kazakhstan, and beyond—VIS fosters a truly global learning environment. This diversity enables pupils to:
- Cultivate a global perspective;
- Expand their cultural and intellectual horizons;
- Engage in cross-cultural debates and collaborative problem-solving;
- Develop resilience for future professional and societal challenges.
VIS’s educators, alumni of prestigious institutions such as the University of Cambridge, University of Manchester, University of Bologna, and Colorado State University, bring international expertise to the classroom. Their experience ensures students gain not only subject-specific knowledge but also the skills to secure places at leading global universities.
An Innovative Learning Model
VIS distinguishes itself through a pioneering approach:
- Continuity: Pupils start at age 5 and progress seamlessly to university preparation, eliminating disruptive school transfers. This full-cycle model ensures stability, consistency, and continuous support. For preschoolers, group learning from age 5 fosters early socialisation—a rarity in online education.
- Personalised Attention: Classes are held in small groups, pairs (a format unique to VIS), or one-to-one sessions. This ensures teachers tailor lessons to individual strengths and aspirations.
- Flexibility: Morning and afternoon sessions, alongside main and blended study programmes, accommodate diverse schedules and learning preferences.
- Comprehensive Curriculum: Alongside core subjects (Mathematics, English, Science), pupils explore economics, geography, business, chemistry, art history, and more. Language options—French, Hindi, Russian, and others—further broaden horizons, helping students identify their passions and career paths.
Internationally Recognised Qualifications
Upon completing A-level examinations—recognised by top universities worldwide—graduates receive a British-style school certificate. This exempts them from additional standardised tests (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS, SAT) when applying for English-language undergraduate programmes.
University Admissions Support
VIS guides students from their first lessons through to university acceptance. Career guidance begins at age 12, helping pupils identify professions and select relevant subjects. In later years, specialists assist with university choices, personal statements, interview preparation, and more. The school also helps pupils locate accredited examination centres in their region, whether in Spain, Germany, Turkey, Kazakhstan, or elsewhere. VIS’s track record speaks for itself: under Managing Partner Ekaterina Erokhina’s leadership, five graduates have secured places at the University of Oxford.
New Opportunities at VIS
The VIS team is committed to ensuring education unlocks lifelong success. Lessons are designed to maximise engagement and sustain motivation. Exceptional students may qualify for grants covering up to 50% of tuition fees, making world-class education accessible to talented learners globally.
