Homeschooling courses for ages 5-18

At Wolsey Hall Oxford we welcome a diverse range of students homeschooling in the USA via our online courses. Families include both US citizens and expatriates and live in a wide number of States.

Courses taken by our USA students range from Primary through Lower Secondary and up to IGCSE, AS and A levels.

Our IGCSE, AS level and A level courses follow the Cambridge curriculum. We are able to support the Cambridge ICE qualification which is a popular qualification in the USA.

We are proud to be part of the world’s largest international community of schools.

Thank you very much for your assistance, and I just want to say that homeschooling Sophie and her sister Helene has been made so much easier by your organization’s involvement – the tutors have been fabulous and the course presentation very easy to follow.

Jeff Hennig, IGCSE Homeschooling Parent,

The Wolsey Hall approach to reading and phonics is especially well designed. Wolsey approaches learning letter sounds in “layers”. This has made it possible for our daughter to learn to read in a matter of weeks without being overwhelmed. We find it remarkable that our 4 year old daughter is reading small books all on her own with confidence and enjoying it very much.
