School Life

Clubs, meet-ups and more!

Online

Enjoy online activities

Going to school online doesn’t mean going to school alone — at King’s InterHigh, students join a warm and welcoming community filled with clubs, events, ways to socialise, and opportunities to take charge.

Houses

Every student who joins us is assigned to one of our eight school Houses. These smaller, tight-knit communities bring students a sense of belonging and camaraderie. Plus, our inter-house competitions are a fun and friendly way for students to get engaged.

Clubs and societies

We offer dozens of clubs and societies for students across all year groups, representing a vast range of interests. From chess to technology to sculpting to debate, there’s a club to suit every learner.

'Viva Engage' social platform

Students aged 13 and over can chat with their close friends and meet new people at any time on Viva Engage, our social media platform. Restricted solely to students from our school, Viva Engage is safe, secure, and monitored to ensure a positive environment.

Regular assemblies

Weekly assemblies are one of the many ways we bring our students together to interact, lead, and learn something new. During assembly time, learners get the chance to celebrate each others’ achievements, hear from their Student Council representatives, find out what’s coming up at school, and more.

Events and showcases

Events, showcases, and competitions of all kinds — there’s always an upcoming occasion to look forward to. Some events, like our Arts Festival, are specific to King’s InterHigh. Others, like the International Robotics Competition, bring students together across all Inspired schools worldwide.

Interactive lessons

Our teachers leverage the latest technology, including AI and VR, to create immersive classroom experiences where students can chat with each other, collaborate on projects, games, and activities, and develop bonds with their classmates.

In person

Meet classmates in person

Alongside our online activities, students can meet their friends in person with a variety of offline events and opportunities throughout the year.

Exchange programmes

The Inspired Global Exchange Programme offers a range of exchange opportunities, lasting from one week to a full academic year. Joining in with student life at one of our fellow Inspired schools, learners who opt for this programme can dive into another culture and language, creating lifelong memories.

Global meetups

Throughout the year, King’s InterHigh families regularly get together and meet up with fellow students in their city or country. Alongside giving learners and opportunity to see their online classmates, these informal events are a chance for parents and guardians to get to know each other.

School trips

From Geography excursions to science practical exams at our fellow Inspired schools, learners can also meet their classmates on educational school trips.

Student initiatives

Student leadership experiences

Student leadership experiences are an important part of school life, giving learners room to build confidence, communication skills, and their own unique identities. Alongside our teacher and school-led activities, students can take part in a variety of self-driven initiatives.

Student Council

The Student Council gives our young people the opportunity to be ambassadors, innovators and role models. Students elect their own Year Group and Tutor Group Representatives as well as Head Students, making their voices heard.

King's Chronicle

Written, designed, and created by our students, the King’s Chronicle school magazine is packed with interesting articles, fun features, school competitions, and impressive photography and design.

Student Blogs

Students, both past and present, regularly contribute to our school’s blog. Some share study tips and life advice, while others give an insight into their unique lifestyle and passions.

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.

Technology integration fee

At Inspired, we are committed to investing in cutting-edge technology to enhance student learning and development, ensuring they are well-prepared for the future. This fee will contribute to the development of our Inspired AI tools and our investment in best-in-class learning technology.
