King's InterHigh
The biggest name and one of the cheaper full timetables: £7,250 for an IGCSE year on the annual contract, or a half-termly rolling contract if you want a way out. Some lessons are large lectures; the smaller "Explore" lessons take up to 20. Its fees page and FAQ disagree on whether VAT is in the price. Full King's InterHigh fees and details.
CambriLearn
By far the cheapest on paper, because most of the learning is on your own: one live lesson per subject a week. Prices are in US dollars, so the pound figure moves with the exchange rate. A South African school. Full CambriLearn fees and details.
