this school has a very bad administration & accountant teams
with very bad software and the student system will be locked so my daughter missed school most of the team since the team doesn`t work on the weekend.
plus again they took our money and we never signed a rolling contract they took the money as a deposit and locked the account so we couldn't finish the term we paid for.
accountant will make a mistake and block the student account for no reason, if you are a free parent and go online and send 10 emails to get something resolved this school will keep you busy.
I am free to share hundreds of emails for every small issue to be resolved.
education is good but this year they started having teachers with a heavy accent so it's difficult to follow
now I saw too many bad reviews and everything other has explained in the above comment is exactly what has happened to us so we are wasting our time and money
this school need to be controlled by the authority since they think they are above the low. i wish i can find a way to take them to court.

They are fraudsters, I should understand it before only from their name, that they changed for Kings ( in DXB name "kings" is a worning sign).
So. My child joined through the year, but only because we were waiting endlessly for their reply, after we waited for their IT team add the profile and so on.
They confirmed that we will not be charged for this period of time. We paid but now it became obviously, that they just lied. In these difficult times the management of this so called "school" are trying to steal our money. Disgusting...

This is one of my life time regrets sending my son to this school. My waste of funds and time for both parent and son, 2021 my son did his GCSE and the a woman maths teacher was the most arrogant of bully. No empathy and she failed to grade my son in math forcing me and my son enormous stress, he reasons were pathetic and the schools failed to email his finally results to me nearly 7 months after he terminated his course despite ever promising to post them at my address, instead as irresponsible as they are they emailed it to my son, this is ridiculous plus I will never advise any parent to waste time with this unregulated institution of a money grabbing corrupt machine. They really are not only unprofessional but obnoxious. More...

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I wish I had read other reviews before I signed up!!
Education is SUBSTANDARD. They only care about money.
My daughter repeatedly submitted homework saying, “I don’t understand” and she never got a call, or response at all regarding helping her understand. There are hundreds of kids in a class at a time!
I emailed in March 2021 saying she does not understand – again no response. As soon as I said in May 2021 I have had enough and wanted to cancel the contract suddenly, I get my first response!
The Deane had a zoom call with me and acted surprised at my concerns as if it was “new news” but the truth is if you check out other reviews, this is a normal complaint they receive and they NEVER admit fault and let anyone out of the contract! It is all about MONEY!!
My daughter just sat staring at the screen when she could get on lessons and it was quite simply boring and did not engage the children. Teachers appeared to just read off a page. On one occasion I saw a teacher sat on video link in her dressing gown!
Also, the system crashes a lot! Then your child is marked as absent as they cannot get on. I have called, emailed, messaged via the online system about this but NEVER get a reply. I gave up in the end!
As I said first reply is when I wanted out of the contract! I have now had to make the decision to put my daughter into a school which is not my first choice, as that education is better than what InterHigh provide. In primary school she was on target and exceeding in most subjects and now she is failing!
£3240 a year! If you must home school I would invest in a private tutor!

Be aware of this fraud business. We paid a £1000 deposit and signed pay as you go contract. our star kid became dull after few classes we stopped the classes and inform the administration and finance but as it is happening with many other parents that after even cancellation Interhigh is forcing us to pay them and as others said we too are chased by a debt agency.
online education is needed, it is a good option for some parents but Businesses like Interhigh are putting us in more trouble.
Please do not fell into their trap.

I never write reviews but I love this school. My kids were previously at Wolsey Hall which was nice but not enough engagement and I was teaching them or they were self studying. I've watched many lessons at Interhigh since they started earlier this month. The teachers I've seen have been very engaging. They make an effort to connect to the kids. The homework is perfect. Not too long but little and often (much better than Wolsey Hall's assignments that took ages to complete). I find there is a lot of support. My kids feel like they can go to the teacher (by email) if they need something or IT if there is a technical issue. I really like the format of the lead lesson with,yes, a lot of kids (teachers still respond to questions and comments in the chat box or put up quizes to check if everyone is following along) and the two explore lessons where the content is covered in more depth with only 20 kids max. My kids play tennis full time and cannot attend a traditional school but this is the next best thing. They miss a couple lessons every afternoon but can watch those back after they train.The lesson platform is great, just takes a bit of getting used to. We love it! More...

Absolutely joke of a school! They are not regulated so they think they are untouchable. Take your money and don't provide the service you sign up. They ignore you when there's a problem! Messed-up my son's gcses and now won't even reply to my enquiries! Rip off!! More...

Absolutely fantastic school. The teachers are amazing, my son is starting to enjoy learning again. Everything is so well organised and efficient. I wish we had joined InterHigh sooner. My advice to anyone on the fence is to give it a go, my son is now thriving More...

This school helped me so much. You definitely need motivation and/or software to block other sites while you study, but whatever the case InterHigh played a huge part in how my life panned out. I was able to travel while studying and I was also saved from a school full of bad influences and teachers. I'm so grateful to the wonderful staff and admin of InterHigh 2010-2012 thank you all so much More...

We have received the best iGCSE results this morning. This is from a boy who used to be super anxious and I couldn’t get to go to traditional school. He loved Interhigh through all his secondary school years. He even got an A* in English Language ... the one subject he really struggled with. One proud mum. Interhigh Rocks! More...

Interhigh is a brilliant school with teachers who really care about their students. Lovely, small classes with no more than about 14 so the kids really get to know each other. For children struggling with mainstream ‘bricks and mortar’ schooling, Interhigh is a fab alternative but with excellent teaching and zero disruption so they’re not held back. More...

I have never seen my daughter so involved in her education and working so hard to achieve. High standard of education and more demanding than most mainstream schools, preparing my child for ongoing education. Thank you, Interhigh!

My daughter started two weeks ago after I pulled her out of mainstream school due to extreme social anxiety. Best thing I ever did she's back to her old self, taking part in lessons and learning. Thank goodness I found Interhigh as mainstream school couldn't understand her issues and we wasn't getting an education. More...

I have found my daughter being able to pursue her education with Interhigh. truly invaluable. She is very smart but normally quite shy. The school nurtured her interest in learning and she is making friends from all around the world. Socialising with them is also possible and we have visited and had visits from several of them in person. She will meet even more of them soon at their annual Interhigh Weekend get-together! I cannot praise the school highly enough and would highly recommend them. Thank you for thinking outside of the box and creating such a wonderful service for our children, InterHigh School! More...

My daughter just started in Year 10, after a trial in the summer term. She is loving school again and has met lots of great new friends. Communication from InterHigh has always been swift and helpful and in our experience, there's always someone there to help with concerns. Long may it continue! More...

Our son was really happy at IH and got all As and A*s for his GCSEs with much less stress and repeated testing of mainstream schools. It was perfect for him as, with fewer timetabled lessons, he had time to spend on other stuff. He's now confidently taking A Levels at a Sixth Form college despite other people's concerns about home schooling's supposed lack of socialising. Would highly recommend it if your child's motivated to learn independently (I'm happy to be DM'd if you want talk more about IH). Thanks Interhigh � More...

After recently leaving mainstream school to join Interhigh half way through the term, we have been thrilled with the excellent teaching and prompt replies from the teaching staff for even the most minor queries (unlike mainstream ). My son feels he has had a lucky escape and is extremely happy and settled at Interhigh. I cant recommend Interhigh enough. More...

I am shocked at some of the negative reviews on here. IH has been a fabulous alternative to mainstream schooling and as a family of 3 ranging in age from 27 to 15 we have had experience of both. Our daughter started in yr7 and is now yr10. We have been living in France for 15 months but before that we were travelling a lot on the property search. IH gave my daughter stability in her education and us flexibility. She is friends with other kids who have been there a similar length of time so if it is as bad as some people are making out why would they stay? More...
