Help when you need it.

Yes. Chrysalis School is a registered educational institution running the Pearson Edexcel International GCSE and IAL frameworks. Students sit externally-examined qualifications recognised by universities worldwide. The only thing "non-traditional" about us is the absence of a physical building.

Yes — through the same routes any IGCSE/IAL student takes. Our Sixth Form includes structured university guidance from Y12 term one. Recognised across the UK, GCC, Singapore, Australia, much of Europe, and US universities through standardised conversion.

Lessons are timetabled for GMT+0 to GMT+4 as the primary window (most of our students sit in the Gulf and the UK). Other time zones are accommodated case-by-case — some lessons attended live, others via lesson recording with a structured catch-up.

A laptop or desktop computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection (minimum 15 Mbps download recommended). No specialist hardware required. We provide all software access.

Edexcel exams can be sat at approved exam centres worldwide — typically British Council offices or partner schools. We help every family find a centre near them and handle the registration on your behalf.

Yes. Class sizes of 15 build close groups. The Community platform runs year-group circles, clubs, and live events. Many of our students travel to in-person meetups — including our annual summer week and termly regional gatherings.

Not through the school itself — we don't pretend to. We partner with local sports academies and music schools in major hubs and help families find equivalents nearby. The fee saving versus traditional school more than covers private coaching.

We can support a range of SEN with adaptations — additional 1:1 time, modified assessment formats, dedicated learning specialist hours. We are honest if we can't fully meet a particular need; we will tell you at the Discovery Call stage.

Pastoral check-ins are timetabled, not optional. Every family has a named Education Manager who knows their child. Mental-health support is integrated, not bolted on — and we have specialist hours for students who need more.

You can withdraw at the end of any term with one term's notice. No "we keep your fee" clauses. We will also tell you, frankly, if we think Chrysalis isn't the right fit — sometimes we suggest going back to in-person, sometimes we suggest waiting a year.
