Leading education

An award-winning, accredited school with 20 years’ experience

Awarded Best Online School in the UAE in 2024, King’s InterHigh is accredited by two of the most respected bodies in British schooling: Cambridge International Education and the UK government’s Department for Education.

We’re part of Inspired Education, a global network of more than 125 premium private schools, and prepare thousands of students for academic success and bright careers. Many of our students go into Cambridge, Oxford and Ivy League universities.

Flexible, accessible timetable

Live lessons in your time zone

No matter where you are in the world, every student enjoys the same high-quality curriculum, qualified expert teachers, and global community of classmates on a schedule that works for them.

Our internationally accessible timetable offers a choice of three start times to suit families in the UK, Middle East, and Southeast Asia. We’ll match your child with a schedule of live, teacher-led lessons that best fit your location and needs.

“The traditional schooling system didn’t allow for our desired lifestyle to experience new cultures and locations while ensuring our children receive a consistent, high-quality education. Our experience with King’s InterHigh has been excellent. It has allowed our children to have consistency in their learning while adapting to new environments on our travels.”

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.
