Online School & Homeschool in Batumi
Online school and homeschool in Batumi
For Batumi and Adjara families — the Black Sea boom city whose skyline grew faster than its schools.
Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Batumi families. Batumi is Georgia's Black Sea boom city — a tourism, real-estate, and port economy that has drawn international residents, remote workers, and regional business families at a pace its schooling never matched: the skyline grew in a decade; the international-school provision barely moved. For Batumi's growing year-round international community, live online delivery is the complete option — supplementary beside a local enrolment, the eksternati route for external completion, and the full A-Level pathway after grade ten.
Challenges Batumi families face
- A skyline that grew faster than its schools — minimal dedicated international provision for a fast-growing international community.
- The national framework applies as everywhere: compulsory education through grade ten since 2024, the eksternati route arranged through the Ministry's territorial bodies, the state track in Georgian.
- Tourism-season rhythms fit poorly with fixed timetables.
- Exam sittings typically mean Tbilisi windows, planned ahead.
- Time zone: Batumi shares UTC+4 — one hour ahead of Nairobi EAT year-round.
Why Batumi families choose Smartious
- The complete option in a city that outgrew its schools: Identical live delivery across Adjara — the schooling infrastructure the boom never built.
- Built for the season: Live classes plus the full recorded library — schooling that survives the tourism high season.
- The framework planned to the current law: Compulsory through grade ten since 2024, eksternati arrangements documented, Georgian preparation all year.
- The window after grade ten: Secondary school is optional — the A-Level years run at the family's choice, with Tbilisi sittings planned per session.
- A timezone that lands after school: Batumi is one hour ahead of Nairobi — live teaching lands in the late afternoon.
The national framework applies in Batumi: the eksternati route through the Ministry's territorial bodies for external completion, supplementary study beside any enrolment, Georgian-language preparation all year — and after grade ten, the A-Level phase free of all of it.
In-person tuition supplementation in Adjara is subject to associate availability; the live online programme is complete without it.
Live online via Smartious LMS. Classes land in the Batumi late afternoon on the +1 hour offset, with the full recorded library carrying the season. Recorded sessions 24/7.
Batumi is Georgia's Black Sea boom city — tourism, real estate, and port trade drawing a fast-growing year-round international community — with schooling that never matched the skyline, and the national framework applying identically on the coast. Batumi shares UTC+4, one hour ahead of Nairobi EAT.

Common questions from Batumi families
Are there international schools in Batumi?
Provision is minimal against a fast-growing international community — the boom built the skyline, not the schools. Live online delivery is the complete option for Adjara.
Where do Batumi students sit Cambridge examinations?
