King’s InterHigh is open to students aged 7–19 anywhere in the world, and you can join us at any time throughout the academic year.

Mentored Pathway

Dedicated mentoring to keep your child on track

If your child needs more personalised, one-to-one academic support, you can sign up to our Mentored Pathway programme. In this programme, your child will be assigned a dedicated mentor and join weekly mentoring sessions to keep them motivated and accountable throughout their learning journey.

This pathway complements our core curriculum and offers a unique opportunity to receive consistent academic support from a trusted expert teacher within the King’s InterHigh community.

Weekly 40-min sessions

Your child will join weekly 40-minute one-to-one meetings with their dedicated mentor. These sessions focus on managing workload, reviewing progress, addressing concerns, and identifying opportunities for improvement. They are embedded into their regular school timetable and visible in their student hub.

A single trusted academic partner

Your child will have ongoing, consistent support from a named, qualified teacher who understands the full curriculum and tracks progress across all subjects. This mentor will be a reliable guide, building a supportive relationship based on trust and tailored advice.

A tracked path to success

With active, continuous monitoring and strategic oversight, mentors ensure no subject or deadline is overlooked. Your child can stay on track with their learning, manage their workload appropriately, and be motivated to achieve their academic goals.

FAQs

King’s InterHigh and Online School FAQs

Fully online high schools and online schools for primary students are just like regular schools, except students learn from the comfort of their own home – or anywhere else in the world. Just like in any other school, students in virtual schools study set classes with a teacher, interact with their classmates, and undertake exams.

Note, however, that a purpose-built online environment is different from (and better than) the way traditional schools operated online during the pandemic. Fully online schools like King’s InterHigh have been designed and optimized for virtual learning, with over 15 years of experience delivering part-time and full-time online instruction to students around the world.

Registering at an online school is easy. First, take a look through our subject offering and fees pages, then note down which subjects your student would like to study. Next, head over to our registration page and fill in your details. Once your registration form is submitted, you will receive an email which contains a link to your online enrolment dashboard to start the process of joining our school.

Unlike most schools, online school prepares students for independent learning, setting them up for university and future careers. Online education is also highly flexible, allowing students to study and progress at a rate that suits them best. Lessons at King’s InterHigh are available for rewatching 24/7, and pupils are free to study anywhere in the world as long as they have a laptop and internet connection.

Just like traditional schooling, King’s InterHigh has a strong sense of school community and belonging, with clubs, assemblies, co-curricular and social opportunities all available on our own safe platforms. Our online learning model also ensures students receive all the support and structure they need to thrive, and pupils are free to reach out to their teachers for help and encouragement at any time.

Online academies usually deliver specific, individual subject courses. At an online school for primary, secondary, IGCSE, and A Level students, an online school sets itself apart by providing a complete education with everything you’d expect from a physical school and learning full-time online. Students at King’s InterHigh have live, timetabled classes every weekday, learning and progressing with the same set of students and qualified teachers.

While both online learning and homeschooling typically take place in a student’s home, they’re not the same thing. When children are homeschooled, their parents or guardians serve as their instructors, while online school programs are taught by qualified teachers. Homeschools also don’t need to follow the national curriculum. Schools like King’s InterHigh, however, teach a British curriculum with IGCSE and A Level online courses.

That said, online learning can be a great supplement for parents who are currently homeschooling their children. Take a look at our homeschooling page to see how we can offer you support and expand on your young student’s learning.

Experienced UK teachers deliver live lessons in real-time, all optimised for online learning, to bring your child’s education to life. Students in need of help or encouragement can always get in touch with their teachers for additional support.

Every lesson is also recorded and uploaded to the online portal, giving students 24/7 access to their past classes.

A Level online courses are exactly the same as A Levels at traditional UK schools offering the British curriculum. Find out more about studying for A Levels virtually here.

At King’s InterHigh, we offer the IGCSE, also known as the International GCSE. GCSE and IGCSE qualifications are considered equivalent by universities, colleges, and sixth forms around the world.

Students across all age groups can join King’s InterHigh at any time of year, and enrolling takes just a few days. Pupils who enrol after the start of the academic year need not worry about catching up, as all lessons are recorded and available to view at any time.

Online school costs vary depending on the school, your child’s key stage, and how many subjects they wish to pick up. Use our fees page to find out how much online schooling at King’s InterHigh will cost for your child.

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.
