Welcome to King’s InterHigh USA: A new era in education
Greetings, future students, parents, and educators! I am thrilled to introduce myself as the founding head of King’s InterHigh USA, Aileen Hawkins.
As we prepare to open our virtual doors in August 2025, we are filled with excitement and anticipation for the incredible journey that lies ahead. King’s InterHigh USA is set to redefine the educational landscape by offering an unparalleled US-based education experience for students, beginning with grades 6–10 and expanding through grades K–12 in the near future.
A legacy of excellence, a future of innovation
King’s InterHigh has a storied history of academic excellence in the UK and across the globe. Building on this strong foundation, King’s InterHigh USA will be a unique offering designed specifically for students seeking a premier American college-preparatory education. Our program synthesizes a challenging core curriculum and electives with the flexibility, personalization, and innovation of online teaching and learning to bring every student a comprehensive, enriching educational experience.
Synchronous and flexible college-prep program
At King’s InterHigh USA, we celebrate the uniqueness of every student and honor each student’s learning preferences, needs, interests, and aspirations. Our synchronous college prep program offers live, interactive classes that provide real-time engagement with teachers, advisors, and peers.
In addition to our live classes, we will also offer flexible scheduling that allows students to balance their academic commitments with extracurricular activities, family time, and personal passions. Our goal is to empower students to take control of their education and thrive.
Comprehensive support system
Transitioning to an online school, as well as transitioning to middle or high school, can be challenging, and we are committed to supporting our students every step of the way. From academic help to counseling to college guidance (beginning in ninth grade), our dedicated team of teachers, advisors, and counselors will help every student navigate their unique educational journey and achieve their goals.
Robust social opportunities
Education is not just about academics; it’s also about building relationships, having fun, and making memories. Students will find a wealth of social opportunities to choose from at King’s InterHigh USA, both online and in person.
Our virtual campus will include clubs, extracurricular activities, and social events where our young people can connect with their peers, form lasting friendships, and pursue their passions. We also know every student and family deserves those important “milestone moments” (like eighth-grade graduation, Spirit Weeks, prom, and graduation), and we look forward to creating our own traditions with our students.
Additionally, as a global community, we can’t wait to bring our students and families face-to-face with in-person events, field trips, travel learning opportunities, and meet-ups across the US and around the globe!
Join us on this exciting journey
As we prepare to launch King’s InterHigh USA, I invite you to join us on this exciting journey. Whether you are a student looking for a flexible and engaging educational experience, a parent seeking a supportive and innovative school for your child, or an educator passionate about making a difference, King’s InterHigh USA has something to offer you.
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach our opening in August 2025. Together, we will create a vibrant and dynamic community that prepares students for success in college and beyond.
Thank you for being a part of our story. I look forward to welcoming you to King’s InterHigh USA!
With great appreciation,
Dr. Aileen Hawkins
