About Us
Who We Are
OneSchool Global is a truly global school, with over 120 campuses in 20 countries, including cities such as New York, Paris, Sydney, Rome, Auckland, Copenhagen, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
With an innovative approach to learning, delivered in cutting-edge, technology-empowered physical and digital learning environments, OneSchool Global is preparing life-ready students who learn how to learn.
Our self-directed learning model places students at the centre of all that we do. We challenge traditional and dated pedagogy and embrace technology to deliver the best possible learning outcomes for our students.
OneSchool Global recruits and develops high quality teachers. Our teachers partner with our students in their learning and rather than being considered the ‘sage on the stage’, play a ‘guide on the side role’ to support students.
Our in-house Teacher Academy provides teachers with the training they need to be the best they can be. We provide teachers with the skills they need to be successful at OneSchool Global and skills that will make them highly capable and competent in teaching in a digital world.
OneSchool Global is a school that lives its values and is guided by the School’s ethos.
Our Vision
“A global education ecosystem that develops life-ready students who learn how to learn, and achieve.”
Formerly, our vision referred to preparing ‘Career-Ready’ students. We have intentionally changed this to focus on the development of ‘Life-Ready’ students. Any school can prepare a student for a career, arguably few can truly prepare a student more holistically for life.
A career is a different concept today. A student’s career might see them operate across multiple different professional fields throughout their working life. The days of doing the same thing for thirty years have passed.
Further, with the rapid changes in technology and automation some fields of work have ceased to exist or, at the very least, faced significant changes. And so, being ‘career-ready’ is no longer enough.
To ensure our students are life-ready, we need to teach differently. To be life-ready in today’s world, our students need to learn how to learn. To be life ready, our students need to develop independent and critical thinking skills, and skills such as teamwork and collaboration.
It is these skills that form an aptitude base that allows a student to adapt. Most importantly, these critical skills are transferable. When industry changes, when entire fields of work and job types are no longer required, it will be the life-ready, critical thinkers who stand the test of time and find new ways to add value.
At OneSchool, to deliver on this vision, we are prepared to do things differently. We challenge traditional and outdated pedagogical models. Our learning centres, the way we embed technology in them, and ultimately our students, are a testament to this.

The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church Community
OneSchool Global was established by members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, for students and families of the Church Community. The School is strongly supported by volunteers from the Church Community.
OneSchool Global recruits professional leaders, teaching and administrative staff from all walks of life and provides a positive and respectful working environment. The church community and OneSchool’s professional staff enjoy a strong working relationship.
The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church was established in the early nineteenth century in Plymouth, southern England. Today the Church comprises a community of over 50,000 members across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the Americas and UK.
Members of the Church gather daily in Gospel Halls to pray together and read from the Holy Bible.
Members of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church are deeply family-oriented and live, work and pray as ‘Brethren’ – a community of families held together by common Christian beliefs. Christian fellowship is an integral part of the Church’s way of life.
There is a strong and generous charitable spirit among the Church community, with many willingly devoting their time contributing to philanthropic efforts, particularly through the work of the charity, Rapid Relief Team (RRT).
