    Homeschooling for Gifted and Talented Students

    How homeschooling a gifted child can improve their education

    Gifted students have immense potential, as well as unique learning needs. Homeschooling for gifted students provides an exceptional opportunity to nurture their talents and reach their full academic potential in a learning environment where they can thrive.

    Some reasons you may want to homeschool your gifted child

    • Individualised education that allows gifted children to learn at a faster pace that may not be fully accommodated in a traditional classroom setting.
    • Flexibility that allows gifted children to focus on their specific areas of interest or talents.
    • Social and emotional considerations to help prevent gifted children from feeling bored, isolated, or misunderstood by their peers.

    Testimonial

    Kieran Bjergstrom

    student

    “It has also given me an edge in terms of age. Because I could skip years whilst at King’s InterHigh, I started university at 15, had my Master’s at 19, and my PhD at 24.”

    Kieran Bjergstrom, King’s InterHigh alumnus and quantum physics entrepreneur.

    The benefits of homeschooling for gifted and talented students

    • Allows parents to create a personalised curriculum that challenges and engages their gifted child.
    • Adapts the curriculum to their child’s pace and provides opportunities for in-depth study or pursuing extracurricular activities.
    • Provides specialised instruction in these areas, such as advanced mathematics, science, art, music, or any other subject the child is passionate about. They can also access resources beyond what is available in a traditional school setting, such as summer camps and societies.
    • This personalised attention can help gifted children reach their full potential and provide a stimulating learning environment.
    • Provides a supportive and nurturing environment that allows the child to develop at their own pace and engage with like-minded individuals.
    • Allows gifted children to accelerate their learning, moving swiftly through material they have already mastered.
    • Provides an environment where they can thrive without feeling out of place or held back.

    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.
