Flexible Homeschooling for Your Child

Why homeschooling may be the best option for your child

Some families have unconventional lifestyles that may not fit in with the traditional school setting. In these cases, they might need an alternative solution, to ensure their child still receives an education. This is what flexible homeschooling can offer.

People who can benefit from additional flexibility include:

  • Families that travel or have nomadic lifestyles
  • Parents with non-traditional work schedules
  • Children with special educational needs
  • Mental or physical health reasons
  • Pursuing extracurricular activities
  • Young professionals, athletes and entrepreneurs

Why homeschooling could be the answer

Homeschooled children have the freedom to determine when and how they learn. This allows them to spend more time on challenging topics, ensuring a thorough understanding of complex concepts.

Similarly, students can accelerate through subjects they find easier, enabling them to progress quickly and confidently. Whether they’re ready to learn in the morning, or work best in the afternoons and evenings, homeschooling allows you to structure learning around your child’s peak performance times.

Flexible homeschooling also accommodates other commitments, such as training schedules for elite athletes or rehearsals and shows for performing artists, so your child can pursue their passions while excelling academically.

Testimonial

Luka Maier

student

“I can ski in the morning in great conditions, and then head back home and catch up with school in the afternoon.”

Lukas needed homeschooling so that he could fit his education around his ski race training, which is exactly what King’s InterHigh has been able to provide him with.

The benefits of flexible homeschooling

  • Learning at your own pace, unlike traditional classrooms that follow age-based teaching years, homeschooling empowers your child to study at the level that is most appropriate for them.
  • Promotes wellbeing and healthy sleep patterns by providing your child with the flexibility needed to help realign their sleep patterns to their natural rhythm, promoting wellbeing and mental clarity which can help to improve their grades.
  • Ability to pursue other interests such as acting, sports or professions during traditional school hours.
  • Travel without disrupting education, as the live lessons that are available in 3 different time zones are all recorded and can be accessed 24/7.

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.
