About Us
We’re a passionate group of people working from around the world to build the future of education.
At iHubs, we bridge the gap between the flexibility of online education and the vital need for social development. While online learning and homeschooling enable students to focus on academics at their own pace, they often miss out on the crucial social interactions that shape personal growth. That’s where our centres come in. They are not a school. They facilitate opportunities for social development and personal growth. All learning is done online via our online school.
We are developing a global network of centres that provide a safe, secure, and enriching environment where students can connect, collaborate, and thrive. We understand the challenges of traditional schooling, from negative social influences like bullying to unhealthy behaviours that can hinder growth. At iHubs, we prioritise fostering positive relationships and creating a supportive community, ensuring every learner has the opportunity to develop both academically and socially in the best possible way.
