Achieving three A*s in his A Levels is incredible, but it's not all Rauf has done since joining us — flexible schooling has even allowed him to launch his own social efforts, which he aims to continue after studying at LUISS Guido Carli University in Rome, Italy. Here's Rauf's story.

During the time I was at Kings InterHigh, I was able to achieve what I never dreamed of...

My time at King’s InterHigh

 Why did you join King's InterHigh, and what has your learning journey with us meant to you?

My path to King’s InterHigh began in February 2021. I started studying at this school because I wanted to study abroad without a foundational year, and I managed to achieve the first-class task.

Still, during the time I was at Kings InterHigh, I was able to achieve what I never dreamed of. For example, thanks to a flexible schedule and online classes, I was able to open tutoring courses for low-income families and become the head of the volunteer movement in one of the largest charitable organizations in the world.

And all this happened thanks to my beloved King’s InterHigh, since it expanded the boundaries of my knowledge and improved my communication and negotiation skills!

 What are your dreams for the future?

I have many dreams; of course, the most important task now is to start studying at the university and successfully finish it.

But there is something else that I would really like to realise: namely equal education for all children on this planet, because they do not choose the family in which they will be born and live.

I think that education is a huge boost that will help you get out into the world and realise all your dreams and goals, and for me, a huge boost was King’s InterHigh. There is nowhere in this world without education!

 What's something you've learned with us that's really helped you personally?

It seems to me that Kings InterHigh helped me a lot in the formation of my thinking and everyday life. Thanks to InterHigh, I was able to combine a lot of activities, projects, and three A levels.

And all this is due to the fact that from the first day at school, they explain to us how to build our schedule correctly. And in the end, this led me to such an excellent result of three A*s in my A Levels!

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.
