By King's InterHigh

Maximus had always been interested in cloud-based learning and studying with King's InterHigh gives him a flexible and independent learning experience.

A typical day at King's InterHigh is much better than a normal school. The workload is higher and more convenient, and if you’re a quick learner at a particular subject, you can easily progress.

 Can you tell us about your educational experiences before King's InterHigh? 

Although I started school within a brick and mortar school, I was always looking at doing something different and was very interested in introducing myself to something cloud-based.

 Where did you go to school? What type of school was it? 

I was studying in a British school in the UAE right from Foundation 1 until Year 8 First term.

 What style of learning were you used to before King's InterHigh?

It was a typical mainstream school with approximately twenty-four children in a classroom. I had no complaints about it, but I was really interested in cloud-based studies.

 Why did you decide to join King's InterHigh?

My father had a colleague who always spoke about home schooling. He came home one day discussing online studies with myself and my Mother. I then decided to research online learning further and concluded I wanted to pursue this method of schooling. My parents say they have already started seeing positive changes in me. I enjoy the flexibility and convenience of King’s InterHigh.

 From your experience, can you talk us through a typical day at King's InterHigh?

A typical day at King’s InterHigh is much better than a normal school. The workload is higher and more convenient, and if you’re a quick learner at a particular subject, you can easily progress instead of depending on the progress of other students.

 What do you find most useful about the 24/7 lesson archive and the flexible approach to learning?

The ability to go back to lesson recordings and complete any pending work.

 How has King's InterHigh made a difference to your life?

It has made me more independent and focused.

 What would you say to those considering learning with King's InterHigh?

It is a great concept to learn anytime, from anywhere.

 What is your favourite thing about King's InterHigh?

The flexibility, the friendly classroom and the ability to easily communicate with teachers and fellow students.

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.
