We are delighted to share that we were visited by His Majesty’s Inspectors (HMI) on 20th and 21st September 2023 to complete our Online Education Accreditation Scheme Evaluation and we look forward to sharing details of the outcome in due course.
Partners in Quality Education
Online Education Provider Accreditation Scheme
Sophia High has passed the strict eligibility criteria for online schools in England wishing to be part of the Online Education Provider Accreditation Scheme that was launched in March 2023. We now await our Evaluation visit by Ofsted who are the Quality Assurance provider for the scheme. Sophia High School was one of four online schools selected by the Department for Education to pilot the new Online Education Accreditation Scheme in 2021. Our upcoming inspection will evaluate programme delivery, resources, safeguarding, outcomes and more. Earning this new accreditation will further confirm our commitment to accessible, transformational remote learning for today's needs.
Council of International Schools Member School
Sophia High has been granted full membership by the prestigious Council of International Schools (CIS), following a thorough evaluation process. This global recognition is a tremendous validation of our exemplary academics, faculty, technology, and student support. Out of thousands of schools worldwide, we join an exclusive group of just four accredited online schools representing both the UK and US Curriculum.
