    Why autistic students may choose homeschooling

    At King’s InterHigh, we understand the unique educational needs of students with autism. Homeschooling for autism offers a range of advantages that can greatly benefit their learning journey and provide a nurturing environment for autistic students to thrive.

    How homeschooling can help

    Autistic children often have specific learning styles, strengths, and challenges. Homeschooling allows for tailored educational experiences that cater to their individual needs. Traditional school environments can be overwhelming for autistic students due to the sensory stimuli, crowded classrooms, and noise levels. Homeschooling for autism provides a controlled and familiar environment that minimises sensory overload, promoting a more comfortable learning experience. This can enhance concentration, reduce anxiety, and improve overall well-being. Homeschooling offers recorded lessons that students can go back and watch if they miss a class. This allows for adjustments in daily routines and gives flexibility for students to reach their full learning potential.

      My daughter loves it. She is a selective mute. At our offline school… she hadn’t spoken to anyone at all. At [King's] InterHigh, she can easily chat with other children and the teacher… and even made a lot of new friends!

      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.
