Homeschooling While Travelling

Homeschooling may be the right choice for your family

For families that have a passion for exploration or spend a lot of time moving around for work commitments, traditional schooling can pose significant challenges. However, homeschooling offers a perfect solution, allowing travelling families to provide their children with an exceptional education while embracing the freedom of a nomadic lifestyle.

Here are some of the more common reasons families may travel:

  • Business trips
  • To experience different cultures
  • Visit family overseas frequently
  • Lead a nomadic lifestyle
  • Have extracurricular activities abroad

Is homeschooling right for you?

Homeschooling provides the ultimate flexibility for travelling families, so that your child’s education is not bound by the constraints of a physical classroom. Learning materials and resources are accessible anytime, anywhere, so you can plan their education to seamlessly integrate with your travel plans. Whether you’re exploring ancient ruins, immersing in diverse cultures, marveling at natural wonders or moving around for business, your child can continue their education from anywhere.

Flexible homeschooling while travelling provides a consistent and uninterrupted education for children, regardless of their location or the frequency of their moves. This ensures that their learning progresses without disruption, even when transitioning between different places.

“King’s InterHigh helps so much, I don’t fit in with normal school standards so, it’s just a way to feel free. Knowing that I can travel and not feel afraid that I will fail my education or get told off by anyone—freedom is probably the biggest word.”

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.
