A weekly homework rhythm
Homework is set on a predictable weekly cycle, so families can plan around it rather than react to it. It is not meant to fill the evening.
Home/For parents
For parents
A school should be legible to the people paying for it. Here is how we keep you informed, and what other Vantage families have said about the experience.
No heavy school bags
Study materials stay in individual lockers at school. Children carry what the work needs and nothing more.
An office that answers
The school office is reachable by phone and on WhatsApp through office hours, and a question about your child reaches the person who teaches them.
Practical matters
The things parents actually ask
School hours and term dates
School runs Monday to Friday, 7:45 am to 1:45 pm, and the office is open 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. The session at our chapters runs August to May. IGCSE runs August to May and A Levels August to April. The Online School session runs September to June. Exact dates for the current year are published on our Facebook page and sent out by the school office.
Uniform
A standard Vantage uniform applies across chapters. Full details, sizing and supplier information are provided when your child is admitted.
School transport
Transport availability varies by chapter and by route. Contact the school office to check current coverage for your area before you commit to a place.
Health, safety and wellbeing
Chapters have real time CCTV coverage and strict security protocols, with controlled entry and a documented collection procedure. Enhanced cleaning and hygiene protocols introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic remain part of daily operations.
No heavy school bags

The best way to judge a school is to walk through it while it is working. Book a visit and meet the people who would be teaching your child.
