Leveraging the rich offline international education resources of Bright Scholar, the “Future Global School” will adopt the Online-Merge-Offline (the “OMO”) model for the international curriculum to create new learning experience for potential students around the globe. Students can take all or some classes online, and complete other classes and activities in physical schools within the Bright Scholar global network or physical schools of their choice.

The online school aims to mirror the ethos of Bright Scholar schools via an interactive and intelligent Learning Management System to deliver high quality international curriculums including A-Level, Cambridge English for Young Learners, Cambridge English for General and Higher Education from September 2020, and will start AP and IB courses in the near future.

Mr. Nelson Chen, the Future Global School’s Principal, comments, “Our A-Level curriculum of the School are well suited for students in Grade 11 and Grade 12 whether they are current students of Bright Scholar schools or outside our school network. Upon completion of the courses, candidates will be eligible to participate in the official A-Level exam. They can eventually apply overseas universities with their A-Level results, school transcript and language test results.”

The launch of the virtual ‘Future Global School’ with OMO model represents a major milestone in utilizing technology to increase access to high quality education for international learners, ushering a new age of learning.
