Online learning

What is an online school?

An online school is exactly like a physical school, but online. With 20 years of experience pioneering online education, King’s InterHigh offers a DfE-accredited British education, flexible and personalised to every student, plus a wide range of online and in-person social activities.

Our live, timetabled online lessons are led by qualified teachers, and we have a vibrant student community spanning 120 countries.

Our students

Who is it for?

The magic of online school is that anyone can fit in, and at King’s InterHigh, we welcome students from all backgrounds and anywhere in the world. There are many students and families that particularly benefit from the flexibility of online.

Students with SEND

Students with Special Educational Needs can learn in a nurturing, personalised environment, with an Inclusive Teaching Plan (ITP) tailored to their needs, an expert SEND team on hand, and adaptive tech features.

Young professionals

If your child is busy pursuing their dreams outside of school, be it in the field or on stage, they need the flexibility of online school to continue learning consistently and achieve recognised qualifications.

Digital nomads

If you are an avid traveller or need to relocate often, online school provides your child with a consistent education, with the same teachers and classmates, no matter how often you move places.

Starting fresh

Mainstream school isn’t for everyone, and many students thrive in a calmer environment where they can be themselves. Online school can give your child a fresh start and offer more flexibility to adjust learning to your life and needs.

Academically advanced

Some students want to be challenged, and online school allows them to do so. With a wide range of subjects on offer and personalised teaching, students are empowered to achieve and exceed their potential.

Global-minded learners

British qualifications can open doors worldwide. With online learning, students who aren’t based in the UK can access a rigorous British curriculum and achieve globally recognised qualifications to prepare for a bright future.

VAT charges explained

The UK Government has implemented a policy to charge VAT on independent schools taking effect from the 1st of January 2025. This VAT charge is payable by families who are based in, or access, King’s InterHigh from the UK. This change does not impact families who are based outside the UK and access King’s InterHigh from another country.

We understand the significant financial commitment you make in choosing our online school as well as how important it is to be able to financially plan. After careful review of the details of the legislation, we will support parents by absorbing costs ourselves, so that a slower phasing in of this unwelcome change reduces its financial impact on families.

For the upcoming 2024-2025 academic year (starting September 2024), Inspired Education Group will absorb much of the 20% VAT charge. For the Spring and Summer terms when the 20% VAT will now apply, we will only pass on 8.5% to families, taking up the difference ourselves.

To further support families with the financial implications of this change in government policy, for the 2025-2026 academic year (starting in September 2025) there will be no inflationary tuition fee increases, and that Inspired Education Group will continue to absorb costs to limit the increase to 8.5% for that academic year. Overall, this will mean we have phased in 17% of the 20% VAT cost over two years to avoid sudden increases for families and have not increased tuition fees.

King’s InterHigh is committed to offering competitive fees and accessible, high-quality independent education, along with the unique benefits of online learning. We are pleased that through careful cost control and the benefits of being part of Inspired, the leading global group of premium schools, we can significantly reduce the financial effect on families due to this change in UK VAT policy.
