King's InterHigh Reviews 

Our daughter Raha joined KIH this year for the first time and is currently studying in Grade 10. We live in Iran, and she attends all her classes online.

Over the past three months, she has repeatedly told us how much she loves her school, her teachers, and the teaching methods. She prepares for her classes every day with great excitement and completes her assignments with real motivation.

The credit and achievement points system is also a wonderful idea that truly motivates students and makes learning more enjoyable.

As parents, it is very rewarding to see that we made the right choice and that our daughter is on the right educational path. From the moment of registration until now, every question or issue we or our daughter had was handled quickly and professionally. Even when we had timetable changes and some payment link issues, both the technical and financial support teams guided us patiently until everything was resolved.

We are deeply grateful to the school management, the caring teachers, and the professional staff at KIH. We truly hope that Raha will continue her education at KIH for the next four years with the same joy and that she will always remember this school with great memories.

They do not assign grades that reflect the student's work. They have an inevitably poor management of university applications, with incompetent teachers who don't grade work according to students' performance.

Disgraceful! They promise a great service, get you to sign into a legal agreement and then fail instantly. The refund policy states full refund within a stated time frame as long as you do not use any educational material online. We did not use anything as their system was not working on day one. They still claimed we used the system and deducted a huge amount from what should have been refunded. The first thing they do it encourage you to access the thing that invalidates the refund policy and use it against you. This is even if you don’t use the learning resources due to their system failure. Once the legal contract is in place, they don’t deliver the basics like induction support etc. and then ignore their own refund policies when the service you are getting (or not in this case) are poor. They acknowledged their fault, but still refused to refund hundreds of pounds from the total amount paid. They took their sweet time dealing with all of it too! They are underhanded and unhelpful. Very bad experience!

*** Edited following unsatisfactory reply from Kings Inter High.

We were within the time scales as stated in the contract when raising initial concerns. Again, this only goes to validate my point. Hiding a bad service behind technicalities of a contract, even when concerns were raised prior to cancellation time scales. A good company would not deliver a sub par service (as you have apologised for) and then take money while hiding (inaccurately) behind ‘it’s in the fine print’. I repeatedly explained I was waiting for clarity on this before moving forward with any other educational solution for my daughter, so it also cost time.

No one has contacted me to ask if I am satisfied with the resolution as stated below. It seems clear I am not happy with the outcome as I lost a lot of money for no educational service for my daughter. Another misdirect! The purpose of this is to convince anyone reading a review that after my review the company resolved the issue to my satisfaction. In fact they just left the reply to my review and hoped I would leave it at that. This is another clear indication of the way they work.

Update on 17th February 2026: I sent my contact details but was ignored until now.

The only straightforward thing in dealing with this school was to sign up and pay upfront. My son stayed for only one week and during this week the tutor did not reply his queries and I could not access the Parent Portal area. I tried to contact them several times and nothing was resolved. Then my son got a place at a physical school and he left. When we gave them notice that our son was leaving, they insisted that I had signed up for the yearly contract when I had signed up for the rolling contract. I needed to prove this so I didn't have to pay them more money. And we were under the 14 days colling off period to cancel a service but until today ( this happened in September) they don't answer my emails and did not give me the partial refund that we were promised.

When we try to call it takes ages for someone to answer the phone. They will only reply emails if you chase them.

Take your child to a more reliable school where they are able to give you the support they need.

At this point, cannot comment on the educational experience as my son has not yet commenced. However, the enrolment process was smooth and simple and user friendly with lots of support.

if your kids are not autonomous and need any kind of guideance i do not recommend this online school. they are highly disorganised, difficult to contact. i have been writing to them since august with no answer..and then get mails about the course when my daughter is no longer in the school as she failed and they never ever answered any of my questions until today finally saying oh ok we didnt know..absolutely awful organisation.

Jessica, the admission staff is truly amazing! She was patient and answered all my queries, even go to the length of rectifying all the issues I faced on the spot. The whole entire process was smooth sailing because of her assistance and constant follow ups. She is such a gem for the school!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the admission team at King's InterHigh school. Even though we ultimately chose a different path for my daughter due to personal reasons and did not enroll in the school, the team was incredibly professional and supportive throughout the entire process. My daughter had an interview with them, and they treated her with such kindness and respect. A special thanks to Mrs. Hiba, who was exceptionally supportive and always answered all our questions. Their professionalism left a lasting impression on us. Thank you for your excellent work

King's Interhigh provided an opportunity for both our Neurodivergent children to thrive in! They are movement seekers too, which makes mainstream school a huge challenge. With King's they get high quality education in a flexible home environment with live online classes & engagement. It's been a life-changing experience.

Our daughter had a bad experience in her local state school for Years 3-5. We ultimately removed her hoping to restore her confidence and re-establish her love for learning.

In our research, we found King's InterHigh and decided to enrol her for Year 6. Since joining in early September, she has absolutely been THRIVING! We couldn't be happier with the quality of the teaching, the responsiveness of the teachers and the head of year, and the learning systems used by the school.

Her love for learning has returned, and her confidence is soaring! She actively participates in her lessons and loves attending her co-curricular clubs three afternoons a week.

Our daughter has slotted into her schedule so quickly and even at her young age has been managing her own schedule, is keeping up with her assignments, and has already made friends. We are also looking forward to upcoming in-person meet-ups set up by the school!

Would give more stars if Trustpilot allowed!

Supportive teachers, progressive leadership and a true holistic education is the reason my child has stayed learning with KingsInterhigh for the last 6 years. Now embarking on his GCSE's, he is being supported all the way.

This is not a school, it is a company first and it really shows. The teachers do nothing other than reading from a PowerPoint and don't engage the class whatsoever. They've also started heavily using AI to replace as much as they can; teachers, support, lesson content, homework, etc. Issues with other students on their own private social media platform also aren't taken seriously, and any problems reported to them were always ignored.

During my time at KIH, they introduced a "technology integration fee" of £50/year with barely any warning. On the website it says this about the fee: "This fee contributes to the development of our Inspired Al tools and our investment in best-in-class technology to enhance online student learning." while "Inspired AI" is just what they call CENTURY Tech, whom they have no affiliation with.

Also during my time here, they merged with another online school, and everything went even further downhill. Even more AI being used everywhere, even worse handling of issues with other students, even lower quality of lessons, and recently a new type of "lesson" has been introduced, where students don't actually attend a lesson, but just complete what is basically a piece of homework by themselves during school hours.

I cannot recommend KIH to anyone at all.

We were led to believe that we could watch the recordings if unable to attend the live sessions. Well you can, but the experience is inferior and leaves my son with loads of questions and being unable to participate e.g. a task given in a live lesson which when watching on the recording he has no ability to upload anywhere, web links which can't be followed from the recording.
From a parent perspective the communication is awful. I have been locked out of the Parent Portal and emailed them 2 weeks ago for help. Today I got sent the wrong details and was told if I needed more help to use their online chat. The online chat is just AI. When I asked to speak to a human I was just left hanging.
The lessons are variable in quality in terms of teaching.

Both our daughters are now enrolled with Kings Interhigh and so far it's been brilliant! Having seen them struggle for years in mainstream schools, Kings Interhigh has changed our family life. Both girls are happy and keen to learn, without all the stress and anxieties of attending a bricks and mortar school. The teachers are fantastic, easy to contact, and really engage the students in the lessons. I would highly recommend!

I write this out of frustration but the facts are correct. My daughter studied the IB Diploma course through Kings in 2023/24. It made sense as we were living in UAE and the local schools weren't suitable. The course teaching went ok except it felt like my daughter missed more classes/caught up a lot. This wouldn't have been the same has she attended a physical school. Overall, given it was their 1st year of teaching the IB I would give it a 6/10. Making the same choice again, I would opt for a physical school

However, the real issue has been getting the certificates. Not only were the original ones posted to an old address, returned to KH an then 'forgotten' but my daughter re-take exams certificates are still not delivered despite ongoing communication.

I am more than frustrated as these are needed for a legalization process so she can attend a Spanish university.. no certificates, no process, no university entry.. Its September 10th.. term has started

Easy access to the content is the best.
Think school should make an assessment on students ability to access ways available.
Some students with need might not benefits just to be left alone to explore.

If you want a school who has great communication and support for your homeschooled child, this is not it. You can no longer speak to staff, it’s all ‘live chat’, a response from emailing teachers or staff is a least a week if you’re lucky at all. It’s not very engaging…. Try elsewhere.

While my son’s academic experience at Kings InterHigh was generally positive thanks to the teachers, the administration has been nothing short of appalling.

For weeks I’ve been requesting an official confirmation of results for the June exams — a vital document my son needs for his college registration. Despite repeated emails, follow-ups, and even contacting them through live chat, I’ve been ignored. When I finally managed to get a reply on chat, the only “solution” offered was that a case had been opened and if I wanted faster help, I should try calling. Calling(from overseas) also led nowhere and each time I was just on hold.

This isn’t a minor paperwork issue — it’s something that directly affects a student’s future education. Yet the school has shown zero urgency, zero accountability, and complete disregard for the impact on their students and families.

It’s shocking that a school of this size can treat such an important matter with such neglect. Until the administration takes responsibility and starts supporting students properly, I cannot recommend Kings InterHigh.

The worst exam experience you could imagine. School forgot to enter DS for igcse exams.

Then lost one of DS exam papers!

Pros: provides an option to study iGCSEs online in a low demand environment.
Cons: Expensive, Poor communication, Terrible Customer Service, Exam Department chaotic. Basically it’s not a school it’s a tuition service, parents have to check/double check/chase everything, as inevitably they will get it wrong. Year 11 was a disaster - couldn’t log in to mock exams, very little focus on exam practice and past papers, had to chase exam entries, broke GDPR rules re student data, students receiving important emails (eg deadlines) but not copied into parents, no parents evening/teacher communication, predicted grades way off, long waits for responses to emails if they reply at all.
And there are additional charges for everything other than the basic tuition.
