Your British Virtual School for International Curriculum

The Nisai Global School (NGS) provides students aged 8-18 with a British curriculum that can lead to IGCSEs, A Levels, and beyond.

Serving as a flexible homeschooling solution, NGS emphasises pathways to higher education, leadership, and career skills.

Through live, interactive online lessons, we offer students a personalised and structured learning experience—accessible from anywhere. 

At NGS, we prioritise each student’s journey, working alongside them to achieve personal and academic goals in a safe, structured, and supportive environment.

Our approach is ideal for students seeking a flexible, high-quality education with the consistency and support needed for success in higher education and the workplace.

Personalised learning
Students will engage with a diverse cohort from around the world, enriching their learning experience through exposure to various cultures and perspectives. We prioritise student welfare with personalised careers advice and guidance, ensuring students are well-supported in planning their future pathways.

Across the world
Our social activities and interactive clubs are a major attraction, particularly in Asia, offering students opportunities to connect, collaborate, and build lasting relationships.

Smaller classes
With fewer students, we foster closer peer relationships and stronger connections with teachers.

Inclusive environment
We use well trusted techniques to ensure reduced social anxiety, letting students focus solely on learning without classroom distractions. Through our customer portal, students and parents can easily access reports, track progress, and stay informed, making the learning journey both transparent and supportive.

Shorter, focused lessons
30-minute lessons ensure our students remain fully engaged for the entire duration.

Recorded lessons
Access to recordings of live lessons allow students who require extra support to catch up or greater flexibility in their timetabling. They also aid in teacher development and safeguarding.

We provide a clear, supported progression through:

  • Key Stage 2 (Upper Primary)
  • Key Stage 3 (Lower Secondary)
  • International GCSE / iGCSE (Upper Secondary)
  • A‑Levels / Advanced Level Study

Our online schooling curriculum features a rich mix of disciplines:

  • Core Academic – English (First & Second Language), Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, Combined Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics
  • Humanities & Social Sciences – Environmental Management, Business Studies, Economics, Sociology
  • Enrichment & Global Themes – CEFR; Sustainability Projects, Young International Leaders, Presentation Skills, N-HELPP, Nisai Passport to Work, and other additional services such as bespoke programmes like Units of Sound, and WordQ

 

Our wide-ranging curriculum equips students with strong academic foundations, while also nurturing their strengths in leadership, environmental awareness, communication, and global citizenship.

At the heart of our approach to teaching and learning is a simple idea: every student deserves to be challenged and supported, without feeling overwhelmed. That’s why we’ve developed our Advanced Learning Model, which helps all learners make progress at their own pace, with opportunities to go further if and when they’re ready.

We ensure that all essential subject content is fully covered within lessons, so students never need to worry about missing out if they decide not to take on any extra activities. Our lessons are thoughtfully planned to include built-in stretch and challenge, encouraging all learners to think deeply, build confidence, and engage in a way that suits them best; whether that’s through polls, the public chat, private messages, or speaking via their microphone.

To complement this, we offer a range of optional post-lesson challenges using a flipped learning approach. These are short, accessible tasks that allow students to:

  • Explore new ideas before their lesson
  • Revisit or consolidate learning
  • Deepen their understanding
  • Apply their knowledge in creative ways

 

The key word is optional! These challenges are there for students who feel curious, want to stretch themselves, or simply enjoy going the extra mile;  but there’s no pressure.

Importantly, these tasks are not repeated in class, which keeps lesson time fresh, engaging and free from unnecessary repetition. This also ensures that all students can focus fully in lessons, while those seeking extra challenge have the freedom to do so outside of class time.

Our Advanced Learning Model strikes a balanced approach between structure and flexibility. It supports academic growth, builds learner independence, and encourages a positive, healthy attitude to learning; one where students feel motivated, not pressured.

Our online students come from a variety of educational backgrounds; therefore, we group learners by ability, not age. This allows:

  • High-performing students to accelerate
  • Students with learning gaps to revisit foundational material
  • Learners with SEND or additional needs to progress with support and flexibility


Each student is placed at the level that best matches their knowledge, skills, and pace of learning.

We are dedicated to creating a supportive and accessible learning environment for every student, including those with:

  • Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
  • Social, emotional, or mental health needs
  • Physical health challenges or chronic illness
  • Anxiety, neurodiversity, or sensory sensitivities

 

Our online and hybrid model enables:

  • Smaller class sizes and adaptive pedagogy
  • Reduced sensory and social stressors
  • Accessibility tools (captioning, visual aids, assistive technologies)
  • The flexibility to study comfortably from home when needed

Our online schooling curriculum leads to International GCSE / iGCSE and A‑Level qualifications, accepted by universities and colleges worldwide. This global recognition means:

  • Students can continue their education anywhere
  • You have access to academic, vocational, or international pathways

 

Consistency and portability in qualifications for mobile or relocating families

Beyond subject knowledge, we emphasise skill development that matters for higher education and the professional world:

  • Critical Thinking & Problem Solving
  • Communication & Literacy
  • Digital Fluency & Independent Learning
  • Research, Analysis & Creative Application

 

These competencies are embedded across all subjects and levels, ensuring students graduate ready for more than exams; they are ready for life.

We believe education should connect to the real world. To achieve that, we integrate:

Cross-Subject Connections:

Our curriculum encourages students to make meaningful links across disciplines. For example:

  • A unit on climate science could connect with geography, persuasive writing in English, and policy debate in sociology
  • Research in one subject informs project work in another
  • ICT and digital skills underpin inquiry in every class

Embedding the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

We weave in themes aligned to UNESCO’s 17 SDGs, such as climate action, equality, health, and innovation; through projects, discussion, and curriculum content. Students explore:

  • Environmental stewardship
  • Social justice and global equity
  • Health, wellbeing, and mental health
  • Ethical innovation and technology

 

By framing learning in these global issues, students develop empathy, a deeper worldview, and confidence as young global citizens.

Through collaboration with governments, schools, and learning hubs, we enhance local mainstream and SEND education by delivering a flexible, blended learning model.

This model combines Nisai’s online expertise with support from trained local facilitators, ensuring an adaptable, supportive and engaging learning environment.

Nisai Learning partners with governments, schools, and hubs to offer:

Integrated programmes
Blending local teaching expertise with Nisai’s curriculum and digital resources.

Facilitated learning
Supporting students in local hubs through a model that combines Nisai educators with trained facilitators for a comprehensive learning experience.

From Lower secondary through to A‑Levels, our curriculum adapts to your child’s needs and aspirations. With continuous assessment, personalised feedback, and dedicated pastoral care, students are supported at every stage of their learning journey.
