Homeschooling in Monaco

Monaco is one of the most internationally diverse places in the world – a principality where families from dozens of nationalities live, work, and raise children side by side. For many of these families, the standard French-curriculum state school system doesn’t quite fit their needs, whether because they’re planning a future move, want their children to gain British qualifications like IGCSEs and A Levels, or simply need an education that can keep up with a busy, mobile lifestyle. 

Wolsey Hall Oxford has been supporting families with flexible, high-quality homeschooling since 1894 – and today, we work with students in over 130 countries, including families across Monaco and the neighbouring Côte d’Azur OR French Riviera. Our Cambridge-approved online courses let your child study the British curriculum from anywhere, on a schedule that works for your family, with no live lessons, fixed timetables, or classroom walls. 

Whether you’re looking for a complete homeschool programme, a supplement to your child’s current schooling, or a flexible solution that fits around elite sports training or travel, we can help.

How does education work in Monaco?

Education in Monaco is compulsory from age 6 to 16, and the principality’s state-funded schools follow the French national curriculum. Instruction is delivered in French, and students work toward French qualifications including the Brevet des Collèges and the Baccalauréat. 

For families who want their children to study the British curriculum – whether for university preparation, career flexibility, or personal preference – the main options within Monaco are private international schools, which can come with significant fees and waiting lists. 

Homeschooling with Wolsey Hall Oxford offers a flexible alternative. Your child can study Cambridge-approved courses from Primary through to A Level, gaining internationally recognised qualifications at a pace that suits them. Many families in Monaco use our courses either as their primary education or alongside attendance at a local school.

Where can my child sit exams?

Students studying IGCSE and A Level courses will need to sit their exams at an approved Cambridge Assessment centre.

Once enrolled, students have access to an Exams Info course and support from our Exam Officers, who provide guidance on finding a suitable centre. Responsibility for choosing, booking, and confirming an exam centre sits with the family, and we recommend contacting your chosen centre early to confirm availability for your child’s intended exam session.

Why choose Wolsey Hall Oxford?

Our online school is dedicated to helping students succeed, by delivering a world-class education to learners across the globe – tailored to who they are, and how they learn best. These are just a few of the reasons families put their trust in us:

Frequently asked questions

Are your qualifications recognised by universities in France and across Europe?

Yes. Cambridge IGCSEs and A Levels are widely recognised by universities throughout Europe, including those in France, the UK, and beyond.

Where is the nearest Cambridge exam centre to Monaco?

Exams are sat at approved Cambridge Assessment centres. Once enrolled, our Exam Officers can guide you in identifying a suitable centre, though the final choice and booking rests with your family.

Can my child study with Wolsey Hall alongside a French-curriculum school in Monaco?

Absolutely. Many families use our courses to supplement their child’s French-system education, often adding IGCSE or A Level subjects to broaden their qualifications for international universities. 

Can I enrol at any time?

Absolutely - with no fixed terms or start dates, you can enrol whenever works best for your family.

Are there any live online lessons?

No – and that’s by design. We believe every child deserves an education that’s as unique as they are – which is why our students can choose what, where, when and how they study, with no live lessons, set timetables or crowded classrooms to hold them back. Instead, they’ll have access to an enriching variety of multimedia learning materials that they can work through at their own pace, helping them become independent, self-directed learners.

What is your student learning platform like?

Our user-friendly online student learning platform contains your child’s courses, along with numerous resources to help them learn in a way that works best for them. It’s also where they can message their Tutors and get information about what’s going on in the Wolsey Hall Oxford community. As a parent, you’ll also have access to the platform with an Observer account, so that you can follow your child’s progress.

What kind of support will my child get from Wolsey Hall Oxford?

Our 3-tier system of support means your child will benefit from personalised advice and guidance throughout their studies with us. This support comes from three main sources:  

  • Tutors: your child will have a Tutor for each subject, who’ll assess and grade their assignments. You and your child will have an online ‘welcome call’ with their Tutors before starting each course, and you’ll both be able to message them any time via our online student learning platform. 
  • Student Progress Managers (SPM): Your dedicated Student Progress Manager is your key link with our school. Your SPM will monitor your child’s progress across all their courses, checking in with them regularly and ensuring they stay on track with their assignment schedule. 
  • Three-tier support: For students who need extra Learning and Wellbeing Support, our team of specialist Tutors can offer tailored 1:1 online sessions in all areas of SEND and wellbeing, from ADHD to anxiety and everything in between. You can access this optional additional service for an additional fee.
