THE COLLEGE, CARRIED ONLINE — EST. 2018, GANGNAM
The full GCSE and A Level programme of JSB College, rebuilt as an online school.
The college taught small cohorts in Gangnam for ten years and sent its graduates to Oxford, Cambridge, Princeton, LSE, Imperial, and more; Stream School teaches the same programme, in the same sequence, with the same materials — to students anywhere, at a pace set by their own goal. A student aiming at university in two years and a student with six months to an examination follow the same curriculum at different intensities. The programme begins from thirty minutes per subject per day.

The programme
How the programme works
Each morning the day's work is set, matched to the student: GCSE/A Level subject lessons, its practice, and a short check that yesterday's material held. Lessons are taught through interactive lessons handcrafted by our college team and accompanied by an AI tutor trained on the college's own materials, that learns your level as you go through the course. You will meet with one of our college team once per week to cover material beyond the subjects and to keep you on track.
Alongside the daily work sit the video gallery — the full lesson library, open for revision at any time — and the calendar, through which scheduled small-group teaching and one-to-one meetings run over Zoom. Progress is visible week by week: what has been completed, what has slipped, and what the current pace implies for the examination date. Parents are welcome to the same view.
Examinations are sat at Stream Learning's centre, where the firm registers its students as candidates and administers the sessions.

Beyond the syllabus
The college's admissions work continues inside Stream School.
Students receive university guidance from the founders — course selection, application strategy, references written by the people who actually taught them — and the firm supports scholarship applications where they fit; its current work includes a programme placing golfers in US collegiate scholarship programmes. Summer programmes have run since 2019: portfolio preparation for UK and US applications, including studio art and coding projects.
Younger entrants have used the same teaching for entry to independent schools; entrants have taken places at:
St Paul's Girls' School
Harrow
Westminster School
Alumni of the college have gone on to Masters offers at LSE and Oxford.

The grades, and how many students get them
GCSE — graded 9 to 1
A Level — graded A* to E
What does an A take in raw marks? It varies by board, subject and year — boundaries are set after each exam. June 2025 examples: Edexcel A Level Mathematics — A at 214/300 (71%), A* at 258/300 (86%). AQA Psychology — A at 69%, A* at 77%.
The UCAS application
Five course choices — one application covers up to five universities.
The personal statement — three set questions, 4,000 characters in total: why this subject; how your studies have prepared you; what you have done beyond school. Personal Statement Reviews →
Predicted grades — the school's forecast of your A Level results; offers are made against them.
The reference — written by the school. Stream School writes references for its own students.

One qualification, three directions
United Kingdom
The home system: A Levels are the standard route into every UK university, through UCAS, as above.
United States
A Levels are accepted in US admissions, and many universities award course credit for them — USC grants 8 semester units per A Level at grade B or better; Rice grants credit for grades A–B with no cap.
Korea
Yonsei and Korea University list GCE A Level among accepted qualifications for their international admissions tracks. For Korean nationals educated abroad, the 12-year overseas-schooling route applies — guidance by conversation.
