InterHigh is now King's InterHigh

By King's InterHigh

The same school you know and love – plus a whole lot more.

With a small change in the name comes a union of InterHigh and the King’s College schools, with their 50 years’ experience delivering educational excellence. We are expanding our global community and bringing endless learning possibilities.

We are the online school that revolves around you.

Our history

InterHigh’s 15+ years of experience of delivering unparalleled virtual education has fostered a thriving community of 10,000+ successful alumni. Uniting with King’s College schools will enable us to touch broader horizons as part of the Inspired education group, with over 80 schools across 5 continents, and welcome young learners from anywhere in the world into our online school community.

The world changed and, we were ready!

The Covid-19 pandemic changed the idea of education dramatically. It introduced us to the power of online learning and the opportunities it brings forth. At our uniquely accessible online school, we have not just embraced this change but are also passionately working towards elevating the perceptions around online learning, demystifying “remote” or “distance” learning and continuously increasing the quality of the outcomes we deliver.

So, what happens next?

We will continue our drive to use the most effective and innovative online learning and have recently extended pilots in:

    • Virtual science simulations for exam years (think science experiments like a Playstation game!)
    • Additional gamified and AI-driven learning in foreign languages
    • Richer, more varied online learning in the Primary years

We are further enhancing our pastoral care and co-curricular activities, with a wider range of clubs, camps, exchanges and on-campus opportunities.

By King's InterHigh

King’s InterHigh is an independent British international online school. Offering Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form education, we cater to students from age 7 – 18 who are looking for a high quality British education delivered in a way that revolves around their lifestyle.

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.
