King’s InterHigh launches new Southeast Asia timetable

By King's InterHigh

Students across the Asia Pacific region can now get a world class British education online on a time zone more suited to them with King's InterHigh's Southeast Asia timetable — enrolling now for September 2023.

Following on from our two existing timetable options (UK and Middle East), King’s InterHigh is delighted to bring students a new Southeast Asia timetable: live, online classes from British-qualified teachers, all taught on the GMT+7 time zone.

King’s InterHigh is the UK’s leading online school. Founded in 2005, we deliver a high-quality, flexible, and personalised British education to students anywhere in the world.

Today, our online school community spans over 4,500 students globally, including numerous students in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore. Alongside better supporting our current families, this new timetable option will open the field for more young people across Asia and Australia to access top British online schooling on a schedule that works better for them.

Open to students aged 14 to 19, the King’s InterHigh Southeast Asia timetable offers IGCSEs and A Levels — both internationally respected qualifications providing a strong route to the world’s best universities and careers. All teachers on the Southeast Asia timetable are highly qualified in the UK, and lessons are taught live online with interactive activities, collaboration, and cutting-edge technologies such as extended reality. For the utmost flexibility, all lessons are also recorded for 24/7 viewing, empowering students to learn at their pace or fit school around passions.

Part of Inspired, the world’s leading global schools group, King’s InterHigh combines 17 years of online education expertise with over 50 years of academic excellence from King’s College schools. More than 10,000 successful alumni have graduated from our school since 2005, with numerous learners earning top grades and esteemed university places every year. Many King’s InterHigh students go on to Cambridge, Oxford, and Russell Group universities in the UK as well as top international institutions.

Outside the classroom, students enjoy a vibrant school life with online socialisation, virtual co-curriculars and clubs, and in-person programmes at over 80 Inspired schools worldwide. All along the way, learners get the support they need to thrive — from wellbeing workshops to guidance for university applications.

King’s InterHigh’s Southeast Asia timetable is now enrolling for a September 2023 start. Learn more on our website, or join our upcoming Southeast Asia Open Event.

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.
