Overview
Homeschooling for elite athletes
Supporting future champions, on and off the field
Help your child unleash their sporting talents without compromising on their education, with homeschooling for elite athletes from Wolsey Hall Oxford.
As the parent of an athletic child with a special talent in sport, you’ll already be familiar with the ups and downs they can face when it comes to their education – in particular, the difficulty of balancing training and competing commitments with the strict timetables of traditional school. When your child is training and travelling regularly, and experiencing the stress that comes with competing at a high level, it’s all too easy for them to fall behind with their studies.

Academic success without compromise
Tailored learning for talented athletes
With the flexibility of our world-class online school, your child can reach their potential both academically and athletically. We have a number of elite athletes homeschooling with us, including tennis players, skaters, footballers, golfers, divers and swimmers.
Our Tutors and Student Progress Managers understand the pressures your child is under, and will work together with you to help them excel in their studies whilst balancing their education with their sporting commitments.

Benefits of Wolsey Hall Oxford homeschooling for elite athletes
Unrivalled flexibility
With no live lessons or set timetables, your child is free to set their own schedule to fit around their training and competition commitments. And with no crowded, distracting classrooms, they can focus fully on their learning and make the most of the time they have available to study.
Dedicated support
We understand that homeschooling elite athletes is a delicate balancing act. Our Student Progress Managers will advise and support your child when you enrol with us, to ensure they’ll be able to keep up with their learning. They’ll also help you personalise their assignment schedule to fit around their training and competing commitments.
Social opportunities
Being able to interact with and connect with others is an important part of your child’s education, particularly when they’re also under pressure from training and competing. That’s why they’ll have access to our online Communities, where they can make friends and take part in fun activities and clubs.
World-class curriculum
We’re proud to be a Cambridge-approved online school, and the only one that’s Cambridge-approved for Primary level. By studying our academically rigorous courses aligned with this globally respected UK curriculum, your child will build a solid foundation that can open up opportunities to study and work with leading universities and employers around the world.

Transferring my daughter's studies to Wolsey Hall - best decision ever.
My daughter joined distance learning at Wolsey Hall in December 2016. Prior to that she attended international schools in the Middle East and North Africa. For work projects we relocated almost every 2 years, and Evangelista plays big tennis professionally. So when she reached 11 years of age and we had moved continents once more in summer 2016, we decided to move out of regular schooling into home studies, so to avoid permanent stress of adjusting to different curriculums and being tied to physical places. It was our personal experience of adjusting to our own schedule and discipline that we found challenging for the first few months. Though the school Student Managers and Tutors were the most supporting of our first few months working on helping us smoothly transition into home studies. Eventually my daughter adjusted the best to the self organising with her subjects. And for so many years now the schooling at Wolsey Hall is the most pleasant experience we ever had with schools. Organisation is of absolute high quality, the platform is organised at best level, everything is clear, information is always systematic, logical, well explained, additional resources provided, no delays in any aspect, and the Student Manager and the Tutors - are the most pleasant people and professionals at their jobs. Communication is always timely on the School Staff's part and we feel always comfortable addressing any subject questions and administrative queries. We get prompt responses and assistance. I truly appreciate the fact that 5 years back I chose Wolsey Hall for my daughter. She is the most happiest child doing her studies with this school. She grew into a confident young girl thanks to the whole homeschooling experience; she appreciates the freedom of making her own choices, knows the worth of her self efforts, she learnt her own time management, and her grades are the highest now more than have ever been in regular schools. She grew to love doing Math, which was not the case in her past regular schooling, thanks to the Wolsey Hall Math Tutor's encouragement and feedback and all the additional resources that are offered within the module. Thank you to every person making it possible and making the home schooling a wonderful experience. May the School prosper for many more generations.

Wolsey HallOxford school - review
This is Tatiana, I am really happy with Wolsey HallOxford school. My daughter being a tennis player and required more practice and traveling, Wolsey school help her to be on her studies wherever she travels and as per her own schedule without missing her studies . Teachers are very supportive and helpful and fast in reply. As of now this is a great method of schooling, flexible and encouraging the kids to be motivated and to study by themselves.
