The vision behind IOS Hubs stems from our dedication to education shaped by a Christian ethos and a sense that the future of education is changing. We believe we can reimagine the educational landscape. Immanuel Online School (IOS) has an established and comprehensive curriculum as well as an excellent online community. IOS Hubs are envisaged as centres of learning and community. They can serve as bridges between online learning and in-person connections, offering students a comprehensive educational experience grounded in Christian principles.
There are two ways in which an IOS Hub could work:
1. Centre Model: the Centre model enables students to study with Immanuel Online School and to meet in-person on a regular basis with other local students. Each hub maintains its distinct identity and character while benefiting from our web presence, along with a range of resources so that a hub can start up 'out of the box'.
2. Partnership Model: in the Partnership Model, Immanuel Online School supports your local Hub by partnering with you in delivering courses to some or all of the students who attend the hub, who might also be following different learning paths.
In each case the hub itself is locally run and independent of Immanuel Online School.

1. Integration of Christian Values: IOS Hubs would be committed to Bible-based Christian values in every facet of education. Through the curriculum, interactions, and community events, students will have the opportunity to grow spiritually alongside their academic endeavours.
2. Financial Sustainability: The IOS Hub model is designed with financial sustainability in mind for hub co-ordinators. We have a number of ideas and a resource package that can assist with this.
3. Diverse Models: IOS Hubs offer flexibility in their organizational models. From cooperative arrangements with local educational institutions to independent operations, there are various approaches to suit different contexts and preferences.
4. Global Reach: The IOS Hubs initiative is not limited to the UK. Hubs could be located anywhere, facilitating quality education and community engagement rooted in Christian values in a range of different locations.
With IOS Hubs, we're not just creating learning spaces; we're looking to nurture communities, foster personal growth and inspire a new generation of lifelong learners grounded in the Christian faith.
There are a number of individuals currently setting up local hubs. If you think this is something you would be interested in pioneering in your local area please do get in touch and we can connect you with others that have a similar vision.
