The benefits of homeschooling for a young professional:

So, what are the full advantages of homeschooling for young professional and how does it enable them to unlock their full potential?

More flexible schedule

Traditional schooling often follows rigid schedules that can clash with commitments such as competitions, auditions and rehearsals. Homeschooling allows students to take advantage of career opportunities, without falling behind in their studies.

Reduced peer pressure

Traditional schools can be challenging environments for young professionals. The constant pressure to fit in and maintain academic and career-level performance can add unnecessary stress to their already demanding lives. Homeschooling offers young professionals a more relaxed and supportive environment, allowing them to focus on their education without the pressures of social dynamics.

Career andeducation continuity

Young professionals may experience the need for sudden breaks from regular schooling due to their commitments. These interruptions can disrupt their academic progress and make it challenging to keep up with their peers. Homeschooling ensures that young professionals can continue their education consistently, regardless of their work schedule.

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.
