Al-Rushd Online School gives your child a structured British education, live daily lessons, and an Islamic environment that supports your family values.
A better route for your family
Finding an education that gives children academic confidence without asking families to compromise on the values they have worked hard to build at home.
State school can mean an environment that does not reflect your values.
Homeschooling means carrying the full responsibility for planning, accountability, and teaching.
Local Islamic schools are often oversubscribed, far away, or limited in the curriculum they offer.
You are not being overprotective
School should not feel like a separate world where your family values are left outside the classroom.
Maybe your child came home upset one too many times. Maybe you noticed habits changing. Or perhaps it was simply the feeling that the environment around them did not support the values you teach at home.
Al-Rushd was built to provide a safe, structured and faith-aligned alternative: a real online school, not simply a collection of lessons.
Large classes, little Islamic context, peer pressure and limited parent visibility.
Often oversubscribed, geographically limited and not always available through GCSE and A-Level.
Flexible, but lesson planning, accountability and teaching all fall on the parent.
May be academically suitable, but without a meaningful Islamic ethos.
Al-Rushd Online School
A real British online school with real teachers, real timetables and meaningful academic outcomes.
Students attend live lessons every day with qualified teachers across core subjects, alongside Islamic Studies, Qur’an and Arabic in Primary and Secondary.
Every lesson is recorded, helping students revisit learning while parents have clearer visibility of progress.

Students build a broad academic foundation before progressing into their examination years.
Students move into focused GCSE and IGCSE study with specialist teaching, regular assessment and exam preparation.
Focused preparation for university and future careers. Our Sixth Form programme gives students the opportunity to specialise in their chosen subjects and prepare for university, further study or employment.
Students can choose three A-Level subjects as part of the standard programme, subject to availability.
Islamic ethos and education
Throughout Primary and Secondary, Qur’an, Islamic Studies, Arabic and character development form an important part of the Al-Rushd experience.
In these years, Islamic education is woven into learning, character and community — not treated as a standalone weekly add-on.
The Primary and Secondary school day begins with Qur’an recitation.
Islamic Studies, Seerah, Fiqh and Arabic are part of the Primary and Secondary timetable.
Tarbiyah runs through these years, helping students develop discipline, respect and a clear understanding of why their education matters.
