    Homeschooling for Anxiety in Children

    Traditional schools can often be an intense environment for children, especially for those who suffer with anxiety or a severe anxiety disorder.

    Homeschooling provides countless benefits to students who suffer with anxiety and anxiety disorders. It can help reduce anxiety-levels and provides them with the care and attention that they need. With less peer-pressure, a quieter and more focused environment and learning from the comfort of their own home, homeschooling offers multiple benefits to help relieve the feelings of anxiety whilst empowering students.

    Common anxiety disorders in children include:

    • Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)
    • School-based anxiety
    • Social anxiety
    • Panic disorder
    • Separation anxiety
    • Phobias, including school phobia

    Why homeschooling could be the answer

    For many children, anxiety affects their thoughts, feelings and behaviours; impacting their school, home and social life as well as their relationships with peers & teachers. Homeschooling provides a safe environment for children to learn at their own pace, surrounded by family. What’s more, educating at home is more flexible and if your child needs to attend regular appointments, they can catch up on recorded classes, so they don’t miss out or have gaps in their education. The autonomy that homeschooling provides has also shown to empower children and improve their self-esteem.

    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.
