Harrow School Online Course Structure

Harrow School Online adopts a flexible, “Flipped-classroom” approach

  • 7 lessons per subject per week, each 45 minutes long, broken down to:
  • 5 lesssons: self-study – pupils work through interactive learning content at a time that suits them
  • 2 lessons:  “live lessons” – small group online lessons with qualified UK-based teachers

A “Full-time” school

  • Pupils will spend approximately 30 hours a week learning, including co-curricular activities and homework
  • But much of the learning can be done at a time that best suits the pupil
