Expat life in Indonesia can be a delicate balancing act for families with children. Between career demands, adapting to a new lifestyle, and carving out quality time together, education often becomes another significant challenge.
From lengthy waiting lists and the difficulty of finding nearby schools to environments and learning approaches that may not suit your child’s needs, you’re not alone if schooling has become a point of compromise. Settling for an educational pathway that doesn’t meet your expectations can create logistical difficulties, disrupt family harmony, and affect your child’s well-being.
But what if there were an education option that revolved entirely around your family — and the values you hold dear? That’s exactly what King’s InterHigh, a leading online school, is offering to students worldwide, including across Indonesia.
With online learning tailored to the Southeast Asia time zone, your child can access a world-class education without having to make difficult trade-offs, allowing your family to enjoy the ideal balance.
Learning That Aligns with Life
Rigid international school timetables, long commutes through relentless traffic, and little time left for life: these are just some of the daily struggles many expat families face. While choosing the best school for your child is a priority, traditional options often come with unavoidable challenges, which is why online learning is becoming a welcome alternative.
King’s InterHigh is a truly global school, offering classes across three time zones: the UK, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. For families based in Indonesia and neighbouring countries, the Southeast Asia schedule (GMT+7) mirrors a typical local school day, making it a seamless fit.
From September 2025, King’s InterHigh will also offer primary education in the Southeast Asia time zone for Years 4, 5, and 6, allowing children to receive a complete British education online from the ages of 8 to 19.
This flexible approach to schooling allows your family to reclaim daily moments — from enjoying breakfast together and attending after-school activities with ease, to providing homework support when you’re energised and present. When education complements your lifestyle, there’s no longer a need to push through exhaustion just to keep up.
A World-Class British Education
Whether your family has relocated from a country that follows the British curriculum or you’re aiming to secure a pathway to top global universities, the British curriculum is an excellent choice for students in Indonesia.
Starting with strong foundations in the primary and secondary years, King’s InterHigh students can work towards internationally recognised qualifications such as IGCSEs, A Levels, and the IB Diploma — all while exploring a broad range of subjects aligned with their passions.
All teachers at King’s InterHigh are highly qualified in the UK and internationally, bringing a wealth of expertise to the classroom. With no waiting lists and the ability to enrol at any time, your family can make an informed, flexible choice without compromising academic excellence.
As the school celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025 — having educated more than 12,500 alumni since 2005 — King’s InterHigh continues to refine its online learning model to deliver the best outcomes.
Each day, students join live, interactive lessons, working collaboratively with teachers and classmates using cutting-edge technologies like VR, AR, and AI to enhance engagement and learning.
Unmatched Flexibility and Freedom
In addition to live classes, every single lesson is recorded and available 24/7. These recordings serve as powerful revision tools, especially for exam preparation, while also offering families a level of flexibility unmatched by traditional schooling.
Students can pursue their passions — from sport and the arts to entrepreneurship — without putting their education on hold. If they miss a live class due to training or travel, they can easily catch up later. One Indonesia-based alumna, Chellia, was even able to exhibit her artwork at a national museum and gallery while studying with King’s InterHigh.
Flexibility also extends to your family’s everyday routine. Whether you want to make time for additional educational experiences, avoid timetable clashes with co-curricular activities, or customise the school day, King’s InterHigh can accommodate it all. Students can even mix and match lessons from the UK and Middle East time zones to best suit their schedule.
For many expat families, perhaps the most valued benefit is the freedom to travel. Whether you’re attending a family wedding abroad, exploring more of Indonesia, or relocating to your next destination, King’s InterHigh travels with you. Your child’s classes, teachers, and friendships remain consistent — all accessible with a reliable internet connection, even from an airport lounge.
