To be honest it's not a big thing over here. If you want to take GCSEs there are some companies that do them online, but on the whole the parents who want their children to follow a school at home model either teach them themselves or hire in tutors. If you have a specific reason for not going to school, e.g. medical problems, bullying, you really hate it ;-) your school/LA might be able to sign you up with NotSchool http://www.notschool.net/

The British online schools are, in no particular order, Inter High @ http://www.interhigh.net First College @ http://www.firstcollege.co.uk The British e-school @ http://www.briteschool.co.uk North Star @ http://www.northstaruk.org . All go as far as year 11, Inter High and North Star both go right through to A Levels and the British e-school is planning to start Pre-Us (Upper 6th exams similar to A Levels). They're all private schools, think school fees of around £2,000 a year. North Star is a Christian school. If your mum baulks at the idea of paying school fees you might try pointing out that she'd no longer have to buy your school uniforms or pay for your lunches or bus fare so online school may not cost her that much more than the money she's already paying out on the hidden costs of sending you to a state school! The only online school that doesn't charge school fees is 'Not School' (it's run by the Inclusion Trust and your fees would be paid for you by your local authority) but as Firebird pointed out the school is only open to kids who, for one reason or another, are no longer able to go to a 'normal' school .

1 :
You would be a sophomore in high school.
2 :
Depending somewhat on the month the child was born in most children start first grade at age 5 or 6. They go to kindergarten the year before 1st grade. Hope that helps. By the way, welcome and we hope you like it here.
3 :
Sophomore = 10 (Just starting High School) Junior = 11 Senior = 12 Some High Schools have 9 thru 12th yr. 9 would be a (starting) Freshman. At least that's how it was in N.Y., where I grew up.
4 :
You would be in the 10th Grade which is a sophomore.Welcome to the United states we hope you enjoy your stay.
5 :
Oh wow! I'd love to live in America!! Anyways, I think you'd be Grade 9? I don't know! Anyways, have fun in America, it's such a fun-looking place. =]
6 :
that most likely if uk is like us it would be grade 9
7 :
10th Grade.. =] Have a good time @ you new school =]]
8 :
I'm a 10th grader in America and since you were born in July 1993, you would most definitely be a freshman (9th grade). Everyone in my grade was either born in 1991 or 1992. Have fun here!
9 :
Since you were born in 1993, you'd be a freshman.
10 :
It depends what class if you have taken in the U.k. if most of them match up as a freshmen you probably a freshmen (9th) but lets says most of the class you have taken our like 10th grader class you probably will be in the 10th grade I am sure thou your parents will have some say (you may have to take some test or something depending on school district)
So I'm going to be moving to America and need to know what grade I will be when I get there. So any ideas? I was born in July = hope that helps? I was born July '93
