As expat mums, we know the importance of a good education for our kids while also keeping those strong family ties with loved ones back home. For a long time, heading back to the UK has always meant fitting travel plans around fixed school holidays, instead of making the most of grandparent’s birthdays, weddings or the birth of a baby.

But did you know, there is another option. Home schooling with King’s InterHigh, is a school community built with the purpose of online education, so your child has the option to learn wherever you are, and whatever you are doing in the world.

We have all become more familiar with the concept of online schooling during the Covid-19-pandemic, meaning there is now a greater understanding of this new choice for parents, with a different set of values and benefits – flexible learning, a celebration of individuality, emotional safety and an international outlook.

Flexible and fully committed

We know what you are thinking: “How is an online school going to guarantee a future for my child?”

All King’s InterHigh’s lessons are taught by UK, and internationally qualified teachers who are experts in online teaching. Many have lived and worked in the Middle East, which means they are really familiar with the educational landscape and requirements here, and the experience of parents and students.  

The school follows the UK curriculum for Primary right through to A Level or IB Diploma, and has more than 18 years’ experience catering to the educational needs of students from 7-18 years old.

Just like any other school, lessons are timetabled so kids not only get to interact with the teacher, but also with each other. One of the biggest perks is flexibility. Every lesson is recorded, meaning your child can revisit content that they may have missed and has the ability to learn in their own time and their own space.

Unlike traditional schools, the teachers are not only subject matter experts, but also specialists in making learning super engaging and fun. They use VR to bring lessons to life, immersing your kids in interactive learning experiences that they will never forget.

King’s InterHigh’s online method of teaching means students achieve the very best results in their International GCSEs and A Levels, which not only sets them up for UK and international universities, but also their future careers too. They are also the first school to offer IGCSE exams online, giving greater flexibility and removing the stress of needing to find exams centres. This will also be rolled out for A Levels and IB very soon.

Not just live lessons, but life experiences

There is also the opportunity for plenty of in person, face-to-face time. One of the biggest questions most parents have about online education is how their child – and the family – will fit into a virtual-based community, especially when education is social as well as classroom-based.  King’s InterHigh’s strength is that they have a large presence online, connecting parents and families through social networks according to geography, meaning lots of families arrange physical meetups around the world.

Students of King’s InterHigh also have the unique opportunities to join summer camps at some of the top boarding schools in Europe. With prestigious campuses, world class partners such as the Real Madrid Foundation and interesting activities that include tennis and fashion design, your child will get valuable lessons that will inspire them for life.
