Enrolling now for Year 6 – Year 13 · Taught live, worldwide
Helping families confidently homeschool with academic excellence and strong Islamic foundations, without the overwhelm.
The dilemma
Many Muslim parents want the best for their children in all aspects of their children's education. However, we understand that the pressure of doing it all alone is not easy. You probably have one or more of the following fears...
Will they keep up?
You want your child to receive a rigorous education that prepares them for GCSEs, A Levels, university, and whatever path Allah has written for them. You are looking for qualified teachers, structured learning, and high academic standards. Homeschooling your child should expand their opportunities, not limit them.
Will they have meaningful friendships?
One of the biggest concerns parents carry is the fear of isolation. You want your child to laugh with friends, live their best childhood, and experience a sense of confidence and belonging. You do not want them to miss out on having a community because children need a community to thrive.
Will they hold on to their deen?
You want your child to experience Qur'an, Arabic, and good character without having to outsource their tarbiyah. You want Islamic values to shape how they learn, think, speak, and interact with their world, rather than squeezed in as an afterthought.
You no longer have to fear for your child's faith or future. You most certainly don't have to face the pressure of homeschooling alone.
“You no longer have to choose between your child’s education and their Deen.”
A better way forward
We teach the full British National Curriculum, live online, with subject-specialist teachers, and we combine it with meaningful Islamic tarbiyah. It is a structured, faith-rooted homeschooling system that supports both parent and child.
And we go beyond the screen. Our students meet in person through the year, our families know one another, and parents have a community of their own rather than doing this alone.
Taught in full and to a high standard, with Islamic tarbiyah and character at its centre.
Woven into everyday learning, not bolted on at the end of the day.
In-person events through the year, so friendships are real and your child grows up among others.
You are not homeschooling alone. Our parents meet, share and support one another.
Guidance that supports your child's growth as a person, not only as a student.
We raise students who look outward, give back, and see their learning as something owed to others.
What we offer
A complete education for students from Year 6 through to A Level, taught live by subject specialists.
Maths, English, Science, Islamic Studies, Arabic, Qur'an and Computer Science as standard, with optional subjects added to suit your child.

The difference
This is not just about lessons and passing assessments. It is about nurturing the whole child.
The Forerunners Education is a global online homeschool, founded on the commitment to embody the verses of the forerunners in the Qur'an, in our ethos and in every service we provide.
Our focus on Islamic ethos and education sets your child up for success and prepares them for the challenges along the way. With up-to-date technology, subject-specialist teachers and a well-rounded, engaging curriculum, your child will thrive and become a future leader of our community.
We provide clear structure while allowing space for family life, personal growth and flexibility.

We prioritise guidance, character development, and nurturing confident young Muslims.
Personal, spiritual and character development is integrated into our teaching of the British National Curriculum, offering a holistic and transformative experience children can access from the comfort of home, or wherever they are in the world.
Through regular in-person initiatives, students, and their parents, build friendships, confidence and a genuine sense of belonging.
Our system was created from a solid balance of lived and professional experience, with genuine care, intention and understanding of what families truly need.
In their words
I would highly recommend The Forerunners Education. Both my girls genuinely love every moment of their school day. The teachers are absolutely wonderful: encouraging, supportive, and they make sure to incorporate Islamic teachings into all their lessons. My children have really grown in confidence since joining.
My experience has been full of respect and tranquility. The sense of support and collaboration fostered by the leadership team creates a positive teaching and learning experience. You will certainly feel safe with The Forerunners.
It has enabled me to learn much quicker. For parents who want their children's education to revolve around Islam, The Forerunners Education is the place. They revolve the whole school around Islam, starting from the timetable. The lunch break is long enough to pray Dhuhr and have lunch too!
They keep learning simple, which gives everyone an opportunity to learn at the same pace. The teachers have a wonderful and unique way of teaching that allows every student to feel comfortable while learning at home.
Questions parents ask
The short answers. If yours is not here, we are a phone call or a message away.
Ask us something elseMuslim parents who want their children taught the core subjects, Maths, English and Science, on the British National Curriculum, alongside Islamic Studies, Arabic and a bespoke tarbiyah curriculum. We teach students from Year 6 upwards, through GCSEs and on to A Level, and families join us from anywhere in the world.
Yes. Lessons are taught live by subject specialists in small groups, so your child is known rather than lost in a crowd, and can ask questions as they arise. Work is assessed regularly and Friday mornings are given to review and exam technique, so nobody drifts quietly behind.
It is the question we are asked most, and the reason we do not stop at the screen. Students are in live classes with the same classmates every day, and we bring families together in person through the year for trips, celebrations and our half-term days. Clubs and enrichment sessions give them another set of friendships beyond their own class.
Beyond the timetable there is enrichment, our book club, debate club, workshops and in-person events, plus mentoring for every student. The things children remember about school, friendships, trips and being part of something, are built into the year rather than left to chance.
The taught day is bounded: 9am to 3pm, five forty-five-minute lessons with breaks, a full hour for lunch and Dhuhr, and a half day on Friday. Independent study and reading are done away from the screen, and our in-person events and outdoor sessions are a deliberate counterweight.
You are not doing this alone. Parents have a community of their own here, with opportunities to meet other homeschooling families, ask questions and share what works, alongside regular contact with our team about how your child is getting on.
The British National Curriculum, taught in full by qualified subject specialists, with Qur'an, Arabic, Islamic Studies and tarbiyah built into the same timetable rather than added on afterwards.
Live online, Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm, in small classes. Each day opens with tarbiyah and Qur'an, has five 45-minute lessons, and a full hour for lunch and Dhuhr. Fridays are for review and assessment in the morning and sport or outings in the afternoon.
A one-off admissions fee of £220, then annual tuition by key stage: £3,000 for KS3 and £3,500 for KS4, covering around seven subjects plus our tarbiyah and enrichment curriculum. Paying the year in full in advance takes £100 off. All fees are paid in advance, either for the year or term by term. The Islamic Courses package on its own is £480 a year.
Yes. We enrol on a rolling basis, so there is no single deadline to miss and no waiting for September.
Every child sits one, but it does not affect the outcome of your application. It shows our teachers where your child needs help first.
One full scholarship each year, for a student entering Year 7 whose family could not otherwise afford private homeschooling. Applications open on 1 June and close on 1 July, and it is open to families anywhere in the world.
Register online in about ten minutes, pay the admissions fee, and your child sits the entry exam. You then choose any optional subjects and we send a personalised timetable. If you would rather talk first, book a free consultation.
