Online School & Homeschool in Biratnagar & the East

Online school and international curriculum in Biratnagar

For Biratnagar and eastern families — Nepal's industrial belt, a long way from where A-Levels are taught.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Biratnagar and eastern Nepali families. The east carries the country's industrial and commercial belt — jute, textiles and manufacturing — alongside the Indian border trade corridor and the tea gardens of the eastern hills at Ilam. It is a substantial regional economy and A-Level provision is very limited here, with the concentration in the Kathmandu valley a long way west. Live delivery reaches the east identically, in after-school hours that land squarely in our teaching day.

Challenges Biratnagar & the East families face

Very limited A-Level provision across the eastern region.
Kathmandu is a long way west and its institutions are competitive.
Families dispersed across the plains, the border corridor and the eastern hills.
We could not verify Nepal's position on parental home education.
Time zone: two hours and forty-five minutes ahead of our teaching base — after-school classes work well.

Why Biratnagar & the East families choose Smartious

The complete option far from the valley: Identical live delivery in Biratnagar as in Kathmandu — no relocation and no second household at grade 11.
Business and economics for an industrial and trading belt: Cambridge A-Level Economics, Business, Accounting and Mathematics suit families who have run eastern commerce for generations.
Engineering depth alongside: Cambridge A-Level Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry, led by a founder with a BEd in Mathematics and Physics.
After-school hours that genuinely work: A four o'clock class here is quarter past one in the afternoon for our teachers.
Reaches the whole eastern corridor: Dharan, Itahari, Damak, Birtamod and Ilam get identical live teaching.

The national picture applies in the east: education is administered by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, basic education is compulsory, and the national qualifications are the SEE at grade 10 and the NEB examinations at grades 11 and 12. We could not verify Nepal's position on parental home education against a primary instrument and will not guess — confirm with the Ministry directly, noting that an absence of clear regulation is an absence of protection rather than a permission. Smartious is not a registered Nepali school and does not teach toward the SEE or the NEB examinations. Our arrangement is live subject teaching alongside a Nepali school enrolment.

Smartious delivers to eastern families online; the live programme is complete without in-person supplementation.

Live online via Smartious LMS in after-school blocks, with every session recorded.

The east carries Nepal's industrial and commercial belt — jute, textiles and manufacturing — alongside the Indian border trade corridor and the tea gardens of the eastern hills, with very limited A-Level provision and the concentration in the Kathmandu valley a long way west. Nepal runs NPT (UTC+5:45), two hours and forty-five minutes ahead of our teaching base.

Common questions from Biratnagar & the East families

Is there A-Level provision in the east?

Very limited, with the concentration in the Kathmandu valley a long way west. Live delivery reaches Biratnagar, Dharan, Itahari and the eastern corridor identically.

Would our child need to move to Kathmandu at grade 11?

Not for the teaching. Live delivery supplies the subject specialists where the family already is, with examination travel a few times a year.
