How does Fly High Science work?
All the information you need about course structure and delivery
3 Live Online Lessons a Week
Separate specialist instruction for Biology, Chemistry & Physics
The course runs over 24 weeks, organised into manageable blocks of 5–7 weeks to fit naturally around half terms, Christmas and Easter. This means your learning stays consistent; no clashing with family life or holiday plans.
Lessons take place 10:00–11:30 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays (Sept 2026 entry), meaning you finish before lunchtime, freeing up the rest of your day (and week!).
Each session includes a 10‑minute mid‑lesson break, giving you time to stretch, reset, or grab a snack so you stay focused and engaged throughout.
Cambridge iGCSE in Combined Science
Internationally respected qualification
We teach the CIE (Cambridge International Education) iGCSE Combined Science specification — a comprehensive and highly respected syllabus that builds strong scientific understanding. Throughout the course, you’ll explore key principles across Biology, Chemistry and Physics, helping you make sense of the science shaping the world around you.
At the end of the programme, students sit three exams at an exam centre of their choice and earn an internationally recognised iGCSE qualification, graded from A–G*.
Flexible Learning
Because we don't all operate in the same way on the same day!
If the lesson time doesn’t suit you or you happen to miss a session, there’s no need to worry. Every lesson is recorded and stored securely, ready for you to access through your personal login at any time throughout your course.
Each week, new study tasks will be released on the day of your lesson. These are designed to support and strengthen your learning. Fully engaging with them will help improve your academic outcomes — but you remain in complete control of how, when, or even if you choose to complete them.
Weekly Study Tasks
Written by us to complement live lessons & embed learning
Lessons are supported by carefully designed tasks that reinforce new content, check understanding and build confidence. Every week, you’ll complete past‑paper multiple‑choice exam questions, a structured review task consolidating key ideas and a set of example exam questions with model answers for each subject.
You’ll also have access to the lesson recording and a student version of the lesson slides through your secure login.
Across the course this amounts to 108 hours of live lessons, more than 70 structured review tasks, over 700 multiple‑choice exam questions, and around 700 marks’ worth of example structured exam questions.
What extras does the Premium course offer?
Regular personalised feedback - our ideal teaching model
Including everything offered as Standard (above), our Premium course version adds that all-important element many home educated students struggle to access: individual, expert feedback from qualified teachers.
Premium students complete a series of scheduled teacher assessed tasks, receiving personalised feedback on their work. They also benefit from eight additional exam style assessments - two within each block of lessons - providing regular, meaningful checkpoints to monitor progress and check exam readiness.
Premium learners can choose to stretch their understanding beyond the core curriculum via access to carefully curated sets of relevant enrichment suggestions.
This enhanced level of guidance helps students stay on track, build confidence, and develop the exam-ready skills that make a genuine difference to outcomes.
Practical Content
No laboratory? No problem - we've got you covered
Our chosen course enables students to demonstrate their understanding of experimental contexts and skills without needing to carry out the practicals in person, removing a common barrier for home‑educated learners and supporting our commitment to accessible expert education. The 'Alternative to Practical' exam option assesses these skills through questions based on real experimental techniques and scenarios. Throughout the course, students are exposed to required practical content so they can apply these skills confidently in the exam.
