When you want the very best for your child, finding the right school isn’t always easy. You’re not alone if you’ve spent long hours searching for options, weighing up programmes and trying to decide whether your child’s current education really meets your standards. While there are various schools in Bangkok offering the prestige of a British education, competition for places can be fierce, and fees often seem impossibly steep.
Thankfully, for parents who want a high-quality education with global recognition and great future prospects, there is a better option.
King’s InterHigh is the leading British international online school, accredited by Cambridge International and the UK government’s Department for Education (DfE). With 20 years of expertise in online learning, King’s InterHigh delivers the full British curriculum to students aged seven to 19 worldwide, with over 12,500 alumni and counting.
“I am very grateful that I ended up joining King’s InterHigh as otherwise, my ambitions might have looked quite different today,” says Thailand-based student Sophia, who graduated from King’s InterHigh with A*A*A in her A Levels last year and is now studying at the University of Cambridge.
British curriculum with next-level learning
If the term “online school” makes you think of generic worksheets, recorded videos and isolated learning, King’s InterHigh will challenge all your preconceptions.
As part of the world’s leading education group Inspired, King’s InterHigh provides the highest quality of education, shaped by the best practices of more than 125 premium schools worldwide. Designed and optimised from the ground up since 2005, this online school brings families everything they could want from a top private school and more.
Students learn in live, timetabled lessons with expert UK and internationally qualified teachers. Following the British curriculum from primary school through to IGCSEs and A Levels, learners can choose from a wide range of subjects that suit their interests and align with their goals. Lessons are interactive, with class discussions and built-in activities like polls and quizzes, and innovative technologies like virtual reality (VR) bring learning to life. Plus, every class is recorded and made available to watch 24/7, so children can fit learning around everything from sports to arts to medical needs without falling behind.
With students regularly achieving the same outstanding IGCSE and A Level grades as those at top traditional schools, King’s InterHigh’s track record speaks for itself.
Accessible anywhere in the world
For families seeking the high calibre of British education outside the United Kingdom, the magic of King’s InterHigh lies in its flexibility. All students need to take part in their lessons is a computer with an internet connection, which means families can join the King’s InterHigh community from anywhere across the globe.
While many are based in the UK, numerous students learn from Southeast Asia (including Bangkok), the Middle East, wider Europe and more. This also makes the school an incredible option for those who travel, from digital nomads to holiday-goers. King’s InterHigh is the education that moves with you, giving students a consistent learning experience wherever they go.
Even for families in Thailand, there’s no need for late-night study sessions just to get the best of British learning. King’s InterHigh operates an internationally accessible timetable, with a choice of three school day start times aligned to the UK, Middle East and Southeast Asia. And no matter where they’re learning from, every student worldwide enjoys the same world-class teaching quality, respected British curriculum and global community.
Preparing children for future success
Year after year, King’s InterHigh students enjoy access to pioneering educational opportunities not found anywhere else — from the launch of the world’s first fully online IB Diploma in 2022 to new remote, online examinations for IGCSEs and A Levels.
It’s a school at the leading edge of learning, preparing young people for the brightest future. Armed with world-renowned British qualifications, King’s InterHigh students regularly progress to many of the best universities in the world, including Cambridge, Oxford and Ivy League colleges.
It’s not just their grades that get them there, but also their unique skillsets. Today, universities around the world are looking for mindset as much as academic prowess. When King’s InterHigh students make their applications, they’re able to demonstrate real global-mindedness, organisation and independence and many more of the attributes that impress admissions directors.
Many of those are the same qualities that also prepare King’s InterHigh students for success beyond their school and university years. According to the World Economic Forum, future employers will be looking for skills like technological literacy, curiosity, creativity and analytical thinking more than ever. From using computers daily to shaping learning around interests, studying with King’s InterHigh builds these skills naturally. Alumni like quantum physics entrepreneur Dr. Kieran Bjergstrom credit King’s InterHigh for building their intellectual freedom, while others like publicity executive Amber Kirk Ford say online learning was invaluable preparation for the future of remote working.
Many more alumni, meanwhile, have gone on to achieve goals in their dream fields, from award-winning actor Bella Ramsey to Olympic table tennis player Anna Hursey. No matter their ambitions, all students at King’s InterHigh get the tailored support they need to achieve.
Tailored support for individual needs
School should never be one-size-fits-all, no matter your child’s needs, and that’s something King’s InterHigh believes in deeply. From academics to personal growth to future goals, every young person can benefit from a personalised approach to learning.
For example, each student gets their own AI-powered personalised learning pathway to follow outside of lessons, tailored to their strengths and areas for improvement. With the option to reach out to teachers at any time and a Pathways Programme with expert-led university guidance (including specialised support for Oxbridge and medical degrees), King’s InterHigh works to ensure each young person can achieve their very best in school and beyond.
For students with special educational needs like dyslexia, autism and ADHD, experienced SEN support is one of King’s InterHigh’s major strengths. Families can set up an Inclusive Teaching Plan (ITP) from the moment they join, an innovative way of making sure every child gets the support they need to thrive in the classroom. ITPs can include a wide range of adjustments, from the option to participate via typing for students with anxiety to extra rest breaks for students with ADHD to dyslexia-friendly fonts and closed captioning.
Students will find numerous ways to get the support they need to grow and thrive beyond lessons. In weekly tutor group sessions, for example, children get the guidance they need to develop confidence and overcome challenges. Families can also choose from a range of add-on Enhanced Support Services for academics and wellbeing, including anxiety management workshops and EAL classes for students who need to grow their English skills.
An ambitious community of classmates
School is also about making friends, building social skills and becoming a confident young person ready to take on the world. Many families worry that online learning won’t meet those needs, but that couldn’t be further from the truth at King’s InterHigh.
In the virtual classroom, there are numerous ways for students to connect and learn together, from discussions and breakout rooms to text chats and projects. But the King’s InterHigh community is just as active and social outside of the classroom.
Each year, there are dozens of online club options for students to choose from, spanning interests like gaming, learning and more. Alongside clubs, children can take part in a full calendar of community events (like festivals and competitions), participate in active time to boost their physical activity and more.
And that’s just the online social offering. Beyond the screen, students around the world can see each other in person through school trips, family meetups and even through our Inspired camps around the world. There are so many opportunities to make friends with a community spanning more than 120 countries, and parents can connect with fellow like-minded families too.
Online school, ready when you are
With online learning, you can also say goodbye to waiting lists. Unlike many other private schooling options, King’s InterHigh is open for enrolment throughout the entire academic year. There’s no need for lengthy applications or enquiring years ahead to secure a place, and students can start lessons within days of enrolling.
Plus, the waiting list isn’t the only thing that disappears; so do the daily commute and steep transport prices, the rigid uniform your child seems to grow out of within months and so many of the costs that can make a world-class private school feel out of reach. King’s InterHigh brings families in Thailand a future-ready British education with unrivalled value.
If you want all the benefits of a personalised, flexible, innovative British education for your child, King’s InterHigh is worth a closer look.
