oday,
the
complexity of this challenge has grown in
line with the diversity of assignment types. Fiona Murchie explores the latest options in a new webinar with Ashley Harrold, CEO of Inspired Online Schools. He explains how high-
quality teaching meets best-in-class technology at King’s InterHigh for an enriching, portable and individualised international education journey that aligns with current global mobility trends.
INTRODUCING ONLINE LEARNING AT KING’S INTERHIGH Many families are finding that international online schools are a viable option for relocation to more diverse locations. These are often in tier two, three or remote locations where traditional bricks-and-mortar international schools have yet to extend their offering.

Schools group, enrols students year-round between the ages of 7-19.
